Heating pads

Well, it is a cold night tonight, in the 30s, much too cold for me!  All the cats, and dogs, and bats are cuddled up on their cozy heating pads. Everybody has one except for me!  If you have an old heating pad you don't use, send it to me at: 7601 Dee Gabrial Collins Rd, Austin, Texas, 78744. I promise I'll make good use of it!

If you have looked into solar energy as a method for heating your home, panels are usually the first things that come up. There are, however, other unique methods.

The Solar Heating Aspect You Have Never Heard of Before

The power of the sun is immense. The energy in one day of sunlight is more than the world needs. The problem, of course, is how does one harness this power. Solar panels represent the obvious solution, but they have their downside. First, they can be expensive depending upon your energy needs. Second, they do not exactly blend in with the rest of your home.

Passive solar heating represents a panel free method of harnessing the inherent energy found in the sun for heating purposes. If you come out from a store and open the door of your car in the summer, you understand the concept of passive solar heating. A wide variety of material absorbs sunlight and radiates the energy back into the air in the form of heat. Passive solar heating for a home works the same way as the process which overheats your car in the parking lot.
