Left the house at 4am this morning. It was cool in the basement. I decided.. OK, time for heat. Temp was about 66 degrees in the basement.
Call it 2100sf of basement slab that's heated. I set it to 71.
Tanks are 1k gal. Were at 185 degrees plus. I took a shower, my wife probably did too later in the morning... So possible that the domestic called a couple of times. That's maybe 10degrees worth of storage temp.
I get here to Philly... log in. Tanks at 130! Done heating!
WHOA! Could my slab really suck up 400k BTUs in 5 hours? I know it's slow to respond.. and it sure was plenty cool. Just surprised is all. Of course keeping it hot isn't near as hard as heating it up.
