Electricity consumption at home, what is your consumption?

:) you bet. I decided to clean that thing only every 2 weeks or when I feel like flame playing.

I know that :D

If the fireplace runs for 6 hours here, the temperature only increases by about 0.8°. The fireplace is located in the middle and also distributes the heat through the stairwell to the attic.

:eek: with us, the whole house gets about 3-4 degrees warmer with the fireplace...

Turn on the internet, the temperature in the bedroom should be 18 degrees.

and what about the bathroom? *shivers*

I know that :D

Why does it get dirty for you at all? We actually only have to clean ours once a year with ash. The windshield washer fluid otherwise keeps the glass automatically clean all the time.

Why does it even get dirty with you? We actually only have to rub it out once a year with ash. The window wash otherwise automatically keeps the glass clean.

Maybe you only have a small tealight flickering inside? :D No, I have no idea why... It just is like that

Then we are probably Danube neighbors :) Here also only fog for 2 weeks now... I also don’t know how you can heat only with a fireplace. If our fireplace runs for 6 hours, the temperature only rises by about 0.8°. The fireplace is in the middle and distributes the heat to the upper floor via the stairwell. But you definitely can’t warm the basement with a fireplace on the ground floor :) The sun actually heats significantly more. When it’s sunny, all the blinds are up, then there are about +2° more in the whole house.

But if the sun heats more than the fireplace, something must be wrong, right? Where is all the energy from the wood going with you? Straight out the chimney?

But if the sun heats stronger than the fireplace, something must be wrong too? Where does all the energy from the wood go with you? Straight out the chimney?

I would say the energy input from the sun is greater than from the fireplace :) But I can't prove it with a formula. I quickly found nothing on Google regarding energy input from the sun. Only energy transmittance (g-value) of the windows... It would be interesting what, in theory, should work faster: 16 sqm pure glass surface in the south at a favorable angle of incidence in autumn/winter vs. 3-4 kg firewood to heat 260 m³ of air (with about 2.5-3 kg/l water contained in it) by 1°C. But in practice, we are very satisfied. If there is too much heat from the sun, the blinds go down. And the fireplace can run for hours without creating a sauna-like environment. Heating only with the fireplace will probably not work (but maybe the fireplace increases the room temperature more significantly if it runs around the clock, we have not tested that and do not intend to). Even if we could heat with the fireplace (temperature-wise), it would still not be economically attractive for us because we do not get the wood cheaply and gas is ultimately significantly cheaper.
