Southerly front arriving in Dunedin.

Recommended Posts

Dunedin City. Interesting day today, Monday, no work, everything rather white, white and more white and rather cold. Inside closed off front porch only 5deg this morning. Hate to think what it is outside. Not keen to find out. Thank goodness for heat pumps until the power goes down. Lots of power down around area. All toasty warm here, and mostly sheltered from the strong winds.

Got to love it.

Good luck with a heat pump once the temperature drops to near zero, they work as a heater by having the "fridge part" outside ........in the cold....not much heat transfer when its too cold outside so no warming going on inside..... brrr :(

Just put my first you tube vid up from the weather on Sunday have a look. YouTube...Seaview marina in 60knots knots

 

No results for seaview marina in 60 knots.

 

Is it set to public view?

Ever used one in the snow? Fitted one to the chalet in National Park. Brilliant. Works in any conditions. Warms the whole place up in 20 minutes

Really? Ours work just fine at -5 degrees, not even going into defrost cycles in a noticeable fashion. Far more useful than a gas fire which froze the regulator whenever the outside temp dropped below about -3.

 

I have been in houses with heatpumps with outdoor temps below -10 degrees and the house stays nice and warm.
