IF I leave the front door/back door open, am I really HEATING THE WHOLE OUTDOORS like my dad used to say?

But you can open the fridge and cool it off!

yes just keep it away from the furnace

Not very well. \n\nIf the ambient temperatures will be in the 30 degree range and below then a heat pump does best with a heat sink such as a underground well to provide heat at high enough level to be economic.

If you had some sort of infinite oxygen supply (highly unlikely) and a air tight bunker sort of thing, it could be possible.\n\nThe outside would have to be something very non-absorbant to heat/light, yet still maintains insulation. It would probably be very expensive, and really limit your living conditions. Uncomfortable, boring, etc.\n\nThen there's always the question of food/water.

The ground temperature several feet beneath your home is fairly constant at around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, give or take a few degrees. Circulating water or some other liquid through this region and returning it to your house, delivers to you a source to heat or cool your home to 60 degrees, even if the outside temperature is -10 degrees, or +120 degrees. Now you have solved most of your heating/cooling problems, and all you need is to let the outside air raise the inside temperature from 60 to 74 degrees in the summer, and install a simple secondary heating system (enough to only raise the temperature about 14 degrees) in the winter. Added insulation will even reduce further the need for the winter heat supplement.

Microwaves do emit radiation, but, true to their name, the radiation is in the form of micro-waves.  These waves lack the power to penetrate skin.  \n\nThe heat is of a worse danger, as testicles require a temperature lowere than that of the rest of the body, but I doubt that that is a concern so long as the door is closed and you yourself are not directly within the source of heat.  \n\nEven with that concern, men produce so much sperm each day that it is unlikely that you would be rendered infertile.\n\nI do believe that your reproductive future is safe.

cookouts are just our way of saving on electricity in the summer . BBQ sauce just adds the flavor. I wouldn't read so much into it. Go on, enjoy that steak! It's ok with God if you do, He knows you want to keep the kitchen a little cooler this time of year!

what happens when smoke is coming out of the dish in the stove & the house is fully closed? you need open the doors and turn off the stove. here we cant open the doors, so we need to turn off the stove. sorry if it is confusing.

No way.  And the evidence is easy to find, too.  Plug in a power converter and run something off it for a while, then put your hand on the converter -- it's hot, right?\n\nThat heat is *wasted energy* -- converting electricity from one voltage to another requires work to be done, and that work generates heat, which is the indication of the inherent inefficiences of the process.  If you then reconvert the electricity to 120V, you will experience a second inefficiency, evidenced as more heat lost.

I think you should possibly consider leaving the country.  The heat is on now.   But seriously, don't sweat it.  Face up to it and don't make a habit of it.  It'll all work itself out.

i lived there 2 years ago and it will probably get a little cool again...i remember thinking it was so warm and then a cold front came back in

It depends on the weather and where you live. If you live in a farm area, you should always have extra canned goods on hand in case anything happens, like a snowstorm or your car breaking down. Always keep things on hand that can be opened & eaten without heating. Keep canned milk on hand, so that you have a ready meal with a box of cereal. If your electric goes out, make sure you have flashlights, kerosene lamps and safe candles. If your heat depends on the electric, don't open the door. Put more clothes on and cover up with blankets or comforters. Ususally the electric will be back up within a few hours, but be prepared for a couple of days if you're in a snowstorm. If possible, find someone who heats with wood and bunk with them until the electric is back up. Always have a well stocked medicine cabinet, in case you have a sudden illness or accident. Things to have would be bandaids, cotton balls, cotton swabs, burn cream, antibiotic cream, hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, an ace bandage, gauze, first aid tape, apspirin, non-aspirin pain reliever (Tylenol or Ibubrophen), allergy medications--including inhaler, bee sting kit--bees do come alive during the winter too, Epsom salts--for soaking strained muscles & such, Vicks vapo rub, Pepto Bismol, and other things that relate to your particular health & needs. The average home should have the above items anyway, because you never know when you might need them. If you have frostbite, or even think you have it, never rub your skin, and don't rub it with snow. Don't put it in hot water. You want to gently warm the skin, so you don't damage the tissues. Put the skin in cool water, gradually warming it every few minutes. I don't know if these are the top survival tips, but I believe these are things everyone should know. It's good to get some first aid training so that you'll be equipped to be of some use if you or someone you know needs help. There's nothing worse than watching someone you care about struggle, and you can only stand and watch, knowing you could hurt them worse with what you don't know. It's good that you want to know what to do. Take a course at your local hospital or tech school. Just remember, even with all that knowledge, you're not God. There's only so much you can do. The rest is up to Him. <*)))><

No, but some at the higher elevation have fireplaces and small electric heaters, When I lived in Hawaii the cars did't even have heaters and the walls in the houses were single wall construction and all the wireing and plumbing was exposed

i dont think so, when a gas condenses, it gives heat to the surrounding air

Correct. The man's a nut case - global warming is mainly from his hot air, but is otherwise a myth.

No,instead of cooling the room get heated up.\nthe compressor will have to do much work and heat will be given out.

Finish the job and go out the front door
