I became interested in Yakutia and the Siberian cold by watching KZfaq videos about Agafia Lykova, the Russian hermit who lives alone in the Taiga. I live in Mesa County, western Colorado, USA at the junction of two rivers on the edge of the desert. We are lucky to have water via an irrigation system. We live in my deceased parents' house (built by my father) on 1 Hectare of land with 2 LG dogs, 4 cats, 40 chickens, 52 assorted fruit and nut trees. We heat our house with natural gas, just like your parents. We also have a wood burning fireplace insert in the basement as back up heat in the event the electricity goes out. I VERY much enjoy your channel! Supper is ready, so I have to go. Until next time! 🙏🙏

I live in the north of Sweden, we heat our house geothermically. We have pipes that are driven deep into the ground where the temperature is stable all year round (approximately 180 meters). We then use a pump system to move water around the pipes and a heat exchange system to move that heat into the house, it also heatrs our water. Our house is similar to yours in that it's made of wood and insulated with plant fibers (saw dust). In the winter we can see temperatures as low as -40c but that is quite rare, normal winter temperature is -10 to -30.

@@theshawnarm you pay for the electricity it takes to move that heat. roughly a ratio of 1:4. so 1kWh of electricity in will get you 4kW of heat into the house. a cubic meter of gas holds roughly 8kW so you would need 2kWh to do the same thing with a heat pump as a gas furnace would do with 1m3 of gas. if you use underfloor heating that ratio can go up to 1:6.

I live across the Bering in Alaska. It frequently gets to -40F, occasionally as cold as -55F, in the winter. Our house is built a few feet off the ground to prevent heat transfer from the house to the ground, which would cause melting of any permafrost and make the house unstable. Our windows are also triple paned and our walls are insulated with fiberglass and foamboard insulation. The floor and roof are about a foot thick. We heat with an oil stove that both blows and radiates heat throughout the house. We keep the stove set to 62F. Because we have an open floor plan and ceiling fans, the heat disperses from the one stove throughout the house.

I live in Finland and our traditional houses are made almost just like yours there! I live a house made 1947 after the WW2. I have two heat pumps and a fireplace which is pretty insane. It's giving warmth about 24 to 48 hours after I have heated it. Heat pumps (heat exchangers) just stabilize this temperature, so my house has little bit modern comfort. I really like fireplace more, because heat pumps blows warm air and it still can feel a bit chilly.

I live in the Netherlands, in a house from the 60s that I recently renovated. Now, we have underfloor heating in all floors, driven by an air-water heatpump and a gas driven central heating system that takes over when outside temperatures are below freezing. We insulated everything in the house and installed triple glas as well. I was shocked when I heard that you use 1200m3 gas per month! That's way more than our annual gas consumption. With our current gas prices, we would pay 3600 euro (roughly 237000 rubles) per month for that amount of gas!!!

My wife and I live in Northern California. Winter is not very cold here (down to about 0 degrees Celsius), but the houses are not well insulated so it is still chilly inside. We had a gas furnace with forced air heating, which had vents in every room - that is until the heater failed and we got a carbon monoxide alarm. We replaced the heater with a heat pump, which doubles as an air conditioner in summer. The air from the gas heater was always very hot, which led to it accumulating under the ceiling, where it is not much use to anyone. The heat pump pumps in air that is only a few degrees warmer than the air in the room. so the house is heated much more evenly. Thanks for posting these videos, they are really interesting!

My primary heating source is wood pellets connected to a radiator system. I also have ACs that can also heat the air inside (air heat pumps), and also a simple furnace (mainly as backup but also for mood). I like that these all compliment each other very well and produce a "different" type of heat (feels different).

I lived in Minneapolis Minnesota for a while and it did get cold but as cold as where you are. All of the older houses had oil radiators. They just need to be bled once a year and each house usually had a natural gas-fed furnace of some sort in the basement. The key to surviving in cold temperatures is to get out as much as you can inn the colder months. It gets too dark and depressing inside too much. cool vlog.

@@zokonjazokonja Air to air, by far. In fact, the winter conditions are so mild, that a large number of heat pumps are non-inverter, single stage heat pumps, not mini splits. But more efficient inverter mini-splits are gaining ground. Another thing to mention is that in the south, due to the mild Winters, those single stage heat pumps have been fairly popular since the 1960s, predating the modern heat pump craze. Cheaper than electric resistance and you don't have to have a connection to the gas grid. Ground to air "geothermal" is used in some places, but the setup cost is high. Air to water and ground to water seem to be a uniquely European phenomenon. They also lock you out of being able to use it for air conditioning.

The weather can fluctuate a lot here. In the summer we can have a cool 15 degrees on one day and a few days later we can have a heat wave and it can go up to 35.

When I lived in Vermont, the temperature often got down to about -25 C during the winter, but about half of winter days were brightly sunny. It was a two-story house about 150 sq m, too, on the top of a mountain. We had a south-facing wall that had about 5 m (16') of double-paned glass, from floor to ceiling, with insulated shades we could close at night, and from that the sun alone would heat the house plenty on a bright winter day. We often had to lower the shades partway because the house would get too hot by mid-afternoon. Otherwise, the house had a multi-fuel furnace that would run on oil, coal, or wood. We usually used home heating oil, which is basically diesel fuel.

In the past year, we've used 2760m3 of gas (for hot water and heating our 155m2 house to a comfy 23-24°C) for a total cost of ~2500$. So the gas is more than 10x as expensive here.

I grew up in northern Alberta, Canada. Similar climate to Siberia. My father's house had a ducted central heating system using natural gas and forced air which blew hot air from heating ducts coming from the floor on all three levels. The house had fiberglass insulation inside the wall and styrofoam sheets on the outside walls. A basement dug below the frost line also helped. Instead of double glazed windows most homes in the area had two complete window frames to trap air in between. The ceiling had blown woolen insulation. He even had a couple of fireplaces on the lower floors as back up. Now I live in northern Australia where it never freezes but we have flood and drought instead.

Thank you for learing English. It makes your videos very enjoyable. We live in the USA in Tennessee. Yes we have Winter and Snow but nothing like you! But it was 24 degrees Farenheit yesterday morning, which is quite cold for mid November. We do not have gas. We have an electric heating and air conditioning system in our home.

We have underfloor heating in Seoul S.Korea. I remember in the early 90s winter was often -20c(-4f) and we had unmelted snow piles during March. Now winter is much warmer and -10c(14f) is the expected coldest. This 21/22 winter was colder than usual and it went down to -17c.

@@macjonte They heat the floors with charcoal called, "Ondol." The concrete floor has "tunneling" in the concrete which allows the heated charcoal to have heat flow via natural convection. The concrete is covered with vinyl flooring to "seal" the carbon monoxide from filling the room. Sometimes the vinyl fails and people sleeping on the floor die. Most places leave the window open a little to help, but as you may know, carbon monoxide is heavier than air so it settles to the bottom of the floor. A lot of Koreans sleep on a YO which is a foam rubber mat. So, they sleep on the floor where the heat and danger is. I served 3 Tours in Korea as a US Soldier in Korea.

@@macjonte I was there in the 70s and 80s so it was when Korea was building its future as a world power economically. The Ondol heating with charcoal was in most areas, but only single story houses. Modern cities had a mixture depending on the construction timing.... As you may know, concrete cracks, thus carbon monoxide rises through the cracks (heated CO2), thus the vinyl floor on the concrete. Today, a lot of places have probably replaced that type of heating with oil heating or electric heating, but the poor will always have Ondol heating. I was in the field when it was 30 below Zero (F) so Korea does get cold.

Hello Maria, I am living in Austria. In the house we have a wood burning furnace in the basement. It is connected to a central heating system for heating both floors of the house. We use the furnace also for heating the warm water we use in the house for kitchen and bathroom. Normally we heat from September till April, more or less. Right now it is normally around -5 degrees at night and around freezing at the daytime. For heating a whole day we use the amount of wood that fits in a regular wheel barrel. The coldest it gets here is around -20 degrees, but we have not seen such temperatures for several years now. The coldest it got here during this winter so far was -10 degrees. Thanks for this interesting video about winter time in Yakutia.

I live in Quebec, Canada, and winters usually go down to -20'C, but it can go as low as -35'C sometimes. Many homes are heated with gas or hydro-electricity. In fact hydro-electricity is almost the only one used,except in some more distant regions. New windows are all at least double glassed, to create that layer of protection.

I live in Indonesia (South Sulawesi), the average temp. (in my town) is around 25-26 C, the coldest is around 18 C and hottest is 35 C. The coldest I've ever felt was 12 C when I visit my grandparents town and it was so cold I have 2 layers of thick blanket with jacket, trousers and socks on when I was about to sleep. To be honest, I can't even withstand 22 C, below it I'm freezing XD. When it's rain season, we usually shuts the AC to warm our house, also our house have few vents for the breeze to come in so we didn't have to turn the AC for too long or even not turning it at all. More money saved.

Hi Maria! I live in Dallas, Texas, USA. The coldest weather we get is 25F, and that is usually for only a week, when a cold front blows down south from Canada. My house has blown-in fiberglass insulation between layers of brick and drywall, also between the delinking and the roof. And natural gas powers a central heating unit which blows warm air into each room through a vent on the ceiling. Last year, a particularly nasty cold front pushed our state’s power grid past its capacity and caused hundreds of thousands of people to lose power for days during this unseasonably cold snap. This was a problem because our houses are only insulated for mild weather, so it got very cold in the houses, leading to some deaths. Something you might find interesting is that the house insulation is really more to keep the heat out in the summer than to keep the cold out in the winter. Thanks for your video! I found it really interesting.

This is amazing to me! I live in Australia and it is summer right now. We have had more than two weeks of weather over 35 degrees Celsius. In summer it is usually about 32 degrees most days. In winter in my city, the coldest day will be about 7 degrees, and the coldest night about 1 degree. But most days in winter are around 16 degrees, and our winter is only 3 months long. We use reverse cycle air conditioning mostly to heat and cool our houses. I've only seen snow twice in my life and I'm 30 years old - both times I was in another country. I would love to come to your part of the world one day!

Don’t so it. Really cold and dangerous. Her house built like crap. They’re warming up outside area. If you calculate properly, wood size for such temperature should be around 20-30 inches in order to separate cold on the outside from heat inside. Plus dew point happens somewhere in the middle of the wood where it’s impossible to see but it’s there. They need proper steam insolation inside and wind&water insulation outside, so the wood will stay dry and not distribute heat. This house is crap.

I used to live in Maine (very far north-eastern US on the Atlantic Ocean, just below Canada) where it is also cold and dark in the winter, but only November-April. The coldest ever I remember was about -22 for a week in February back in 2015 or so. Not nearly as oppressively cold as Yakutsk. People mostly use oil burning furnaces to heat their homes, though many people also have wood stoves to supplement. In the cities, it is more common to use natural gas, but oil is still the primary fuel. I live in Florida now so there's no need to heat anything ever. We have the opposite problem where you need to cool your home all year!
