I just cant wait. for winter heating bills

[lesto]

An excellent and fun way to stay warm and save on running your furnace so much is to fire up as many classic filtrators as possible.

electric blankets.?

Those are kind of scarey. It's like sleeping in a big toaster. I wouldn't want to take that cancer risk. here's a product not real popular with bed wetters.

electric blankets

I've used electric blankets for years and never had a problem, nor have I ever heard any horror stories from friends. I think the EMF thing is overblown, and the newer blankets have addressed the so-called problem.

I would love to buy a *safe* electric blanket.

Hey MN, when do you gusy start pumping out the BTU's?

About running the dryer: If it is vented to the outside, you should run it during the warmest hours of the day and try to have the make-up air come in on the sunny side of the house. If you do not have a whole family showering every morning, the moisture probably does not merit the exhaust fan pulling all of that air out of the house during a season when many people have to add humidity to the inside air.

Thanks for the tips, Tom!-

if it paid for me to do so, i'd rummage up a used (read being tossed out to the Krusher) electric dryer for the winter and use it unvented..

but being the gas dryer is basically the only gas appliance, i'd be paying for the service and it would be unused. for me it makes no sense to do so.

During our coldest days of winter, when it's hurtin cold outside and I do mean hurtin, I've always pulled the dryer vent out of the wall and attached a filter to the end so as not to waste all that heat and humidity

hight tech solution, low tech challenge

Pete K-

There exist inexpensive little plastic air-flow "swtiching" devices for this-- damper and an air-outlet; diverts air in.

Interesting how the package says "Heated Blanket" not "Electric Blanket"

marketing, marketing, marketing.

Now must read if DC induces a field, IIRC it may not...
