Energy efficiency — try it: Alaskans could benefit from conservation
Jun 26, 2011 | There is no doubt that many families are truly suffering from
high energy prices, and they have taken whatever steps they can do reduce usage. In this community there is a lot of complaining about energy prices, but there is little conservation in evidence. I suspect that most of these complainers are not living hand to mouth (as some people truly are), though they loudly proclaim otherwise. This is no more evident than on the roads, which are packed with large new vehicles traveling above the speed limit. Not only do they drive fast on the open road, but they race foolishly from one red
light to the next, even when there are flashing yellow lights to remind them of an upcoming stop. Nothing is too much trouble when it comes to obtaining coffee to go, not even interrupting their 55 mph expressway commute. A great many of these people also are fond of reminding bicyclists that they would be wise to stay off the roads because in a contest between a bicyclist and their SUV, the bicyclist loses.

Does heat pump works well here in Southern California? I need a electrical heater for swimming pool?
Jul 16, 2008 by Mai T
I am doing solar panels so I can have electric for the entire house. I would like to convert the gas heater for my pool to an electrical heater. But they don't have it for residential. Will the heat pump work well here in Southern California?
I hope you are getting the biggest solar system you can afford. I did, and am eternally grateful. As you can imagine, the cost per kW of generating capacity goes down as the size goes up.
For a heat pump, you could consider the type of system usually installed for ground source. Some of these depend on water from the ground, pumped through a heat exchanger. In your case, you could use the pool water., circulating it past the heat exchanger, and back to the pool. You could arrange it so the "waste" cold is sent outdoors when you don't want to cool the house, and to the house on hot days. If there are winter periods when you do not want to heat the pool,, you could have the heat pump draw heat from the pool, for heating the house.
Of course you could use a resistance heater for the pool, but it would be two or three times less efficient. You can buy pretty big inline spa heaters. They are on the Internet.
My electrical baseboard heater is drawing a lot of current when in the off position. Why is this?
Jan 18, 2009 by mike m
I received a very high electric bill and noticed when shutting the power off of the electrical heater at the panel box, the electrical meter slows down considerably even thou the heater was not turned on or generating heat. We rarely have the heater on in that room so I do not know why it is drawing so much electricity when off.
It would seem that off is really just low. It seems as if you need to pull the breaker when you don't need heat.
Is it right-NO but it is the way things are.
