Comment on It was all a lie, wasn't it?

I mean, if you get winters that go to -20, you still have to heat it up during it. But most it goes down is like 15 degree C? Not comfortable, but you probably won’t freeze unless you don’t heat at all

With the -5 to -10°C we have over here it never got below 18°C indoors.
But I guess if we’d have -20°C outdoors for prologed periods we’d probably have to heat too. We do of course have heating, so that’s not a problem. I just wanted to demonstrate what our house can do.
I can’t say how exactly it would perform at -20°C, since we haven’t had that so far.
But on average our heating costs are ~€20 per year plus the €380 flat pricing that the mandatory provider that we have to use charges independent of usage. Sadly I can’t cancel that provider since they come with the rent contract. Otherwise I would have cancelled the heating a long time ago and instead used our reversible AC to heat instead.
