A heater may not be keeping a house warm because it is too small for the space. An older heater may not be performing as it should. If you are getting no heat from the heater, you may have blown a fuse and should check the circuit breaker box.

What is the use of space heater in MCC panel?

A space heater in an MCC (Motor Control Center) panel is used to maintain a stable temperature within the enclosure, preventing condensation and moisture buildup that can lead to electrical faults or corrosion. By keeping the internal environment warm, the heater helps protect sensitive components and ensures reliable operation of the electrical equipment. This is especially important in environments with fluctuating temperatures or high humidity.

Why is your house warm on a cold day even if you havent turned on the heat?

Your house remains warm on a cold day due to several factors, including insulation, which helps trap heat generated by appliances, body warmth, and sunlight entering through windows. Additionally, thermal mass from walls and floors can retain heat from previous warmer days. Air circulation within the house can also help distribute this warmth, keeping the indoor environment more comfortable despite the cold outside.


Should you turn your thermostat on and off to save money and energy?

You can, but a better idea is to get a programmable thermostat. The main problem with turning off the thermostat is that you'll turn on your thermostat first thing in the morning, and by the time the house gets to a comfy temperature, you're already leaving for work - so you don't get to enjoy the benefits of all the energy spent. That's silly. Program the thermostat turn up the heat before you get out of bed, and to turn it off before you leave for work. Likewise, program it to have the house warm when you get home. That's the whole reason you have a heater. With the programmable thermostat, your house is warm when you're there and cold when you're not, and you don't wait for the heater to catch up. Enjoy. With that said, it's a common misconception that the energy consumed in re-heating or re-cooling a building is greater than is consumed when maintaining a desired level. This misconception has been dispelled by years of research and numerous studies. Your heater's efficiency is roughly constant, so the total energy used depends on how much heat the house is giving off - and a cold house gives off less heat than a warm one. The long time your heater runs to reheat the house may feel wasteful but it is cancelled by the long time the heater is off as the house cools down - tests have shown that very little is gained or lost in the process. So, the longer your house remains at the lower temperature, the more energy you save. The difference is minuscule if you only shut it off for a couple hours, but it's a big deal if you step out for the weekend. Bottom line, turn off the thermostat when you'll be out all day and then some, but for regular day to day stuff you'll be happier (and just as frugal) programming your heater to handle the warming and cooling for you.


Why is news paper good at keeping stuff good and warm?

Heat passes from the warmer thing to the cooler thing, if there is a way for it to pass. Anything with lots of air pockets does not let heat through easily, so newspaper, cotton wool etc. are good in keeping things warm. They neither let heat out or in, so they keep the warmer thing warm and the cooler thing cool!

Why would a truck heater only blow cold air?

The heater core is blocked, or a heater hose has collapsed, keeping hot engine coolant from getting to the core. The "blend air" door may be stuck in the open position, keeping warm air from circulating, and dumping in cold outside air. I am assuming that engine coolant and water pump is good.
