Southern Most areas do not have heating. In winter, many families basically rely on various electric heating equipment to spend the winter.
Friends in the north are curious, so why don’t you turn on the air conditioner to keep warm? Do you think the electricity bill is too expensive?
You won’t find it strange after seeing the following shortcomings.
air conditioner has poor heating efficiency
air conditioner has good cooling effect, but heating is not good. Although it can also heat, there are many factors that are restricted. The most important thing is that compressor is affected by low temperature, and the heating efficiency is greatly reduced.
When the outdoor temperature is too low, it is difficult for the compressor to maintain normal working state, and even if it is started, the heating efficiency is very poor.
After all, if you want to heat by relying on the compression mechanism, it is better to install floor heating.
comfort is too low
Although air conditioners can heat up, no matter how the air conditioners are adjusted, they will make people uncomfortable over time, dry, hot and stuffy. This is also the reason why many people are reluctant to turn on the air conditioner to keep warm no matter how cold they are.
Moreover, air conditioning heating has an obvious disadvantage, which is "hot head and cool feet". The hot air it blows out floats on the ceiling, hot at the top and cold at the bottom. The higher the floor height of the house, the more obvious this phenomenon is.
So people are sitting in the air-conditioned room, their heads are sweating, and soles of the feet are still cold. It is better to open an electric brazier and put on a blanket to warm and comfortable.
The walls of southern buildings are thin and poor insulating properties
I found that some Northern people may have a little misunderstanding of southerners, and think that southerners are frugal and are reluctant to spend money on air conditioners and floor heating.
In fact, the key to the problem is not the electricity bill. For example, the electric heaters that many people in the south use generally start at 2kw. The electricity bill is several hundred yuan per month when you turn on it. In the same case, the air conditioner is more power-saving.
The problem is that the "cold" in the winter in the south is caused by many factors. In addition to being too wet on rainy days, the most fundamental reason is the building itself.
Like building a house in Guangdong, the first thing that the walls are considered is heat dissipation, otherwise it will be too hot in summer and people will be steamed. On the contrary, the time when winter is really cold is actually very short, and it will take two days to pass.
So most houses in the south are very thin, and there is no insulation layer in the walls, which leads to poor insulation. No matter what heating is used, it will be useless. Before the house can warm up, the heat will be gone.
If you don’t believe it, you can see how thick the walls in the north are and how thick the walls in the south are? I have lived in both houses and I feel it so profound.
So if you don’t use air conditioners in the south in winter, how do you keep warm?
1, electric heater
High-power heating equipment like electric heaters, the advantage is that it will heat up immediately, and it can be turned off at any time.
The disadvantage is that it is high power, and converts electricity into thermal energy, which is a high-power consumption appliance.
In short, if you are afraid of the cold, you can use it, which can't save electricity, but it is much more comfortable than air conditioners.
2. Electric blanket
People who are afraid of the cold really cannot do without electric blankets when sleeping in winter. They turn on the electric blanket for an hour before going to bed, so they dry and warm the quilt. They close it before entering the quilt, and bring a warm water bag.
3, electric baking table
electric baking table can be said to be a must-have "artifact" for winter heating for Hunan people. The whole family can sit around, put your feet in, and play mahjong on it.
In many places in Hunan, almost every household has an electric baking table, which saves electricity and keeps warmer than electric heaters.
4, oil ting
Compared with electric heaters, oil ting belongs to the "slow heat" type and is generally heated up, which is considered to be the "low-fit" of northern heating.
needs to be turned on for a long time with this, but it is really warm and not dry, and it is much more comfortable than air conditioning.
It is also noise-free and flexible and convenient to carry. It is placed in the bathroom in advance to preheat. If you have children, you can also heat up the clothes while baking them. It is simply not very useful.
The disadvantage is that it costs electricity, which costs electricity compared to air conditioners and is more suitable for small rooms.
Summary
In short, each heating method has its own advantages and disadvantages, but whether it is heating effect or comfort, air conditioning is not the best choice. What method do you use to keep heating in winter?
