I haven't
had to turn on the heat yet this winter because of my
machines... don't know if that should be bothering me or not.
Hmm, we have about 15kW of electric heat in the house - I wouldn't mind
replacing that with something vintage. The only downside is that its supply
is load-controlled by the power company, so subject to dropping out without
warning.
That's terribly inconvenient, especially if you run home servers. On average
this house uses about 30kW/h minimum to power and cool the server room. The
problem is the house is 2400 sqft and in a very elongated L-shaped floor plan,
so it is hard to distribute the heat to other places efficiently. In my old
one-bedroom apartment, I never had to use the heater. On the other hand, this
house is about 1000' higher in elevation and closer to the mountains.
