magespawngood morning08:05
Kiloshi magespawn  08:05
magespawnhow was the weekend Kilos?08:06
Kilosvery quiet and cold, and there?08:06
magespawnwarm for this tie of year08:07
Kilosai!08:07
magespawntime too08:07
Kilosi could do with some warm, ThatGraemeGuy  sends all the cape cold fronts here08:07
ThatGraemeGuymuhahaha!08:12
ThatGraemeGuyspeaking of which, anyone have any experience with panel heaters that attach to the wall?08:12
Padronican't say that I have08:13
Padronidon't they use a lot of elec though?08:13
ThatGraemeGuyneed something for the kids' room, and I'm not sure if these would be useful. max out at 400W & the consensus seems to be that it needs to run pretty much 24x7 to make any difference :-o08:13
MaNII've got two08:14
Kilosimo the most efficient heaters are those small fan heaters08:14
magespawnMy sister had one in the bathroom which worked like a charm08:14
ThatGraemeGuyKilos: I'm seeing others with that same opinion08:14
MaNIhow long you need to run them to make a difference depends on how well your house is insulated :)08:14
Kilosthey work great ThatGraemeGuy  08:14
ThatGraemeGuyespecially for only being used overnight08:14
MaNIbeats those terrible fan air heaters people like at any rate08:14
MaNIthey work pretty well, though they do use lots of power08:14
MaNIbut thats a given for pretty much any electrical heater08:15
Kilosyip08:15
ThatGraemeGuythe explanations I'm reading are that it takes a certain amount of energy to heat a given room to a given temp08:15
Kiloshow warm do you want to spend is todays game08:16
ThatGraemeGuyso a 400W panel takes 5x longer than a 2kW fan heater for instance08:16
MaNIalso the wall panel heaters are relatively safe compared to some of the alternatives, if safety is a concern08:16
ThatGraemeGuyhence why people just leave the panel on 24x708:16
ThatGraemeGuyall too complicated08:16
pieter2627morning all08:25
Kiloshi pieter2627  hoe gaan dit?08:25
pieter2627goed dankie, en oom?08:26
Kilosgoed dankie08:26
Kilosinetpro  ping08:26
Kilosmagespaw1  i hope he is on leave or something08:27
magespaw1maybe he has gone into hibernation08:28
=== magespaw1 is now known as magespawn
Kiloslol thats also ok but we need to tell him to warn us beforehand08:29
=== Cryterion`hiding is now known as Cryterion
CryterionThatGraemeGuy, your probably best off using an aircon unit than a heating pad, as the aircon will use approx 1/3 the energy08:30
magespawnCryterion: don't they use a lot more energy in heating?08:31
ThatGraemeGuyyeah except the initial outlay is R5k instead of R30008:31
ThatGraemeGuydamn kids and their intolerance of cold air :-p08:31
MaNIjust go outside and skip for a few minutes, then you will be warm :)08:31
ThatGraemeGuythat doesn'08:32
ThatGraemeGuythat doesn't warm the air in their bedroom which is the core of the issue08:32
ThatGraemeGuythey keep warm just fine but cold cape town air does a horrible number on their breathing systems08:32
magespawnoil fine heaters are supposed to be quite good, how old are the kids?08:32
MaNIahh right08:32
MaNIsinus issues08:32
ThatGraemeGuy2.5 and 608:33
Kilosyip small fan heater is the answer if only the kids need the heat08:33
magespawns/fine/fin08:33
MaNIpanel heating will be best for them anyway then, the other types are bad for sinuses :p08:33
Kilosthen if it dries the air too much you just place a dish of water in front of it08:33
ThatGraemeGuyI have a humidifier that will deal with dry air08:33
Kilosthen you fine08:34
MaNIhow are the windows in their room? I find fixing draughty windows a better initial win for stuff like that, heater second 08:35
ThatGraemeGuyI'm even keeping the window closed08:35
MaNIyeah but if they are old wooden ones with old putty they leak cold air like crazy, south african homes are terrible that way 08:37
ThatGraemeGuynope, aluminium frames, no leakiness08:38
MaNIahh okay08:38
Cryterionmagespawn, No you still running a pump, and not elements08:45
magespawnCryterion: that is good to know, does this apply to all split unit aircons/08:50
CryterionYes08:50
Kiloswb pieter2627  08:54
KilosThatGraemeGuy  is the kids room on the southern side of the house?09:08
ThatGraemeGuyuuhhhhhhh09:08
* ThatGraemeGuy consults google maps09:08
Kilosall the south side never sees the sun09:08
Kilosespecially in winter09:09
ThatGraemeGuyno their window & external wall faces ENE more or less09:09
Kilosmorning sun only then09:10
ThatGraemeGuypretty much09:10
Kilosand large windows?09:10
Kilosdouble glazing helps some09:12
Kilosallows heat in with sun light then stops cold coming in09:13
Kilosor heat escaping09:13
ThatGraemeGuyno just plain windows09:15
=== Cryterion is now known as Cryterion`hiding
MaNItoo bad double glazing so expensive here :p09:22
Kiloswhat isnt09:23
MaNI:(09:24
Kiloshehe i remember when a packet of smokes and a box of matches cost 20c09:25
Kilosand petrol from pta to durbs cost R609:26

Kilosnight smile  18:50
Kilossleep tight18:50
smilethanks! :)18:50
ThatGraemeGuyKilos: yes i got a fan heater with temperature adjustment, set it quite low, but still high enough that you can feel the difference when you walk into the room from the rest of the house19:16
Kilosgreat, they work well19:16
ThatGraemeGuyand turned on the humidifier on a low setting as well so the air doesn't dry out19:17
Kiloskids must be happy19:17
ThatGraemeGuyyeah i turned it on and left it for 5 mins and when i went back in i could already feel the difference19:17
Kilosamazing how efficient they are19:17
Kilosi spose because they kill the cold air low down and as it warms it rises19:18
ThatGraemeGuythey don't have a problem being cold themselves, but the cold air causes the little one's sinuses some trouble and he breaks out in coughing fits around 1 or 2 in the morning when its particularly cold19:18
ThatGraemeGuyand it has been pretty icy lately19:18
Kilosshame19:18
ThatGraemeGuythe older one is pretty fine all round though19:19
Kilosages?19:19
ThatGraemeGuyshe had a bit of a cold last week but she bounces back quickly19:19
ThatGraemeGuy2.5 and 619:19
Kilosaw19:19
ThatGraemeGuyshe's been pretty bulletproof since we had her tonsils removed in late 201219:19
ThatGraemeGuylittle guy had his done the other day, but he also suffers allergies, so his immune system isn't quite as bulletproof19:20
Kiloseish allergies are a pain19:20
ThatGraemeGuyyeah :-/19:22
ThatGraemeGuyhe's learning already. if he's presented with something edible that he doesn't recognise he'll ask us if there are nuts in it19:22
ThatGraemeGuyits adorable and sad at the same time19:23
Kilosshame19:23
ThatGraemeGuyanyhoo19:23
Kilosmy mom had quite a few allegies and tara has many19:23
ThatGraemeGuyelectric blanket is calling me, enough of this chilliness :-o19:23
Kiloshope the warmth makes it easier for them19:23
ThatGraemeGuynight night all :-)19:23
