It all depends on the size of the house, how well it is insulated, the outside temperature, and the inside temperature. For most houses about 20 kW should be enough (say 75,000 BTU/hour)
The measurement of how much heat energy is required for a substance to melt is called the heat of fusion. It is the amount of energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid at its melting point.
Heat because Ice and water would thaw out and begin to heat up
The diagram below shows a picture of a slankey diagram. Energy is weighed in kj (kilo joules). the electrical energy represents how much energy you started with. The light energy represents how much energy you used for the lights. The heat energy represents how much energy you did not use for the lights but you used it for heat.
No heat (energy) is required to freeze water (from liquid to solid). Freezing RELEASES energy (heat), as it is an exothermic event. If you want to know how much energy is release, you need to know the heat of fusion for water, and then multiply that by the mass of water being frozen.
Specific heat capacity describes how much heat energy that is needed to raise the temperature of material.
The amount of energy used to heat a house depends on factors such as the size of the house, insulation, outside temperature, and heating system efficiency. On average, a well-insulated house in a moderate climate can use around 50,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy per year for heating.
When the sun's radiant energy touches a house, the temperature inside the house can increase as the materials absorb and retain the heat. The amount of temperature change will depend on factors like the time of day, insulation of the house, and how much sunlight the house receives.
There is no such thing as "too much" heat. Heat is a form of energy it just IS. If something is too HOT then an excess of heat energy has been applied for the purpose intended.
The change in temperature of a material due to heat energy depends on the specific heat capacity of the material. Different materials have different specific heat capacities, which determine how much heat energy is needed to raise their temperature by a certain amount.
The measurement of how much heat energy is required for a substance to melt is called the heat of fusion. It is the amount of energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid at its melting point.
No, not all energy is lost as heat. In many systems, energy can be converted into other forms such as mechanical energy or electrical energy, rather than solely being dissipated as heat. The efficiency of a system determines how much energy is lost as heat versus how much is converted into useful work.

Using a fireplace means you don't have to use as much heat in your house, as they fire also produces natural heat. Heating hosues takes fossil fuels and energy, so having some heat come from a fireplace means that less heat has to be taken from natural resources like oil and coal.
Heat is thermal energy. It is pretty much the same thing as thermal energy.
The diagram below shows a picture of a slankey diagram. Energy is weighed in kj (kilo joules). the electrical energy represents how much energy you started with. The light energy represents how much energy you used for the lights. The heat energy represents how much energy you did not use for the lights but you used it for heat.
The mud house is less compact than the brick + cement house and on absorbing solar energy, the mud house does not oscillation much and probably, the air trapped in mud house walls may be insulator but bricks are more conduct of heat. So not much heat is passed in building in mud house.
0.5 Wh of electrical energy is equivalent to 1.8 kJ (kilojoules) of energy. This amount of energy would be converted into heat energy by an electric heater or device that produces heat.
