Since the temperatures have now dropped below 10°C (50°F), the heating season has officially started for us – and this month alone, 6 kWh of electricity have already been pumped into the screed.

When we moved into the house, the gas meter showed 800 m³ (28,250 ft³). So, almost 10,000 kWh of gas was used for drying 🙂 After one year, it now shows 1,600 m³ (56,530 ft³).We didn’t want to put that strain on our heat pump or the electric meter either 🙂. That’s why we used a mobile oil heater for drying the screed; refilling the oil twice was enough 🙂D

It definitely won’t be cheap, especially since the painters were here for four days and had to keep opening the windows a lot; otherwise, they wouldn’t have managed. That must have wasted quite a bit of energy.
May I ask how much the mobile oil heater including startup cost you?

But something like this should be significantly cheaper than using an electric heating element. You just need to run the supply and return pipes outside the house, which worked well through a light well.B

But something like that should be significantly cheaper than using an electric heating rod. If you don’t have an HVAC professional in the family to do it properly, it will most likely be more expensive (renting a mobile heater, delivery, oil pan, insurance, fuel, operation, removal) than simply setting the screed heating program on the heat pump and paying for the electricity.
We have had to heat for almost a week now.
