Being close to the equator helps. My sister-in-law is Singaporean, and we asked her what she thought of our Minnesota weather. While she loves our autumns for the color change in foliage, she's okay with winters. They're just long, she says.
The 120m3 gas also amazing for me :DD i used 240m3 gas last month in a brand new 100m2 house with 15cm eps on the walls, also with floor heating (35C water in the floor) avg 23C in the rooms while out its like avg -2C at night and +3 day.
@@bakdominik8659 In apartment buildings you benefit from your neighbours. The heat is transferred through the walls and floors inside the building. In average winter climates some apartments can go almost without heating if the neighbours are heating excessively. It is not comparable to a house.
I think many people in the comments use the term central heating differently than in the video. When she says "central heating", she is talking about district heating, where the heat for an entire area is generated in a heating centre and carried to the individual buildings over long pipes. Some people here write "I have central heating" but what they mean by that is that they have a single boiler or furnace for their entire house/apartment (as opposed to having separate gas/electric heaters in each room) - which is what she called individual heating in the video. It's a big difference because in the latter case, you can set the temp for yourself, turn off the heating when you're away, etc...
In finland we call it roughly translated "remote heat" when you are conneted to a bigger plant. The central heating means mostly water circulated radiatros instead of having several fireplaces. No matter if you are conneted to network or have your own boiler.
Here in Austria it's the opposite. We try to get rid of gas heating. All new apartment buildings have district heating and are well insulated. My building is 2 years old. Now we have 0°C outside. Inside 21°C with heating turned off. 25°C would be too hot for me
What i really appreciate how people from all over the world, different cities and countries share their views, just like we are in a small global village. I m from India. I bless all of u guys. We never experience these kind of temperatures in our country but i love to watch your videos and comment section is awesome.
You need to visit more of your own country, i lived and worked in India for like 6 years, and I've experienced NEGATIVE 20c more times than i can count, and as i recall DRASS is one of the coldest places on the planet in the winter with temps routinely dropping below 35c.
I love the way you narrate throughout the video. You voice is so relaxing! So much interesting information as well. Can't help feeling grateful for my country Greece after watching your videos but also respectful for all of you who manage to live your life happily even in these extreme conditions.
uhm Greece is extreme lol, but in the other way around. And too warm weather is much worse than too cold weather. In the former you lie incapacitated down in a basement all day and can't sleep during the night and in the later you put on a jacket when you step outside.
Merry Christmas? Seriously? This is a region of Russia. They did another massive missile attack on the Ukrainian energy sector - today on Christmas Day. To deprive Ukrainians of heat in the winter. And you congratulate them - from England? Do you know that they threaten the West with nuclear weapons on TV every day?
@@rdd_ I do up to 22° in the living room when the door is shut and😅 the rest is about 18-19 😅 was 3 years ago around 800€ for a year. Now I think double. House is from 1996 I wonder no delusional person complained about carbon footprint.
I've been watching Yakutsk videos during December and January for over 15 years. It's a comforting way to drift off to sleep in my cozy winters, all the while feeling a bit of empathy for those brave souls enduring far harsher conditions.
I live on Waiheke Island - an island off the main city of Auckland, in the north part of the North Island in New Zealand - a very temperate climate. We rarely get a "frost" in winter (below 0 deg C) and most winter days are about 15 deg C or above. We use a heat pump - sometimes called a mini split - for heating our main living areas and if we keep the bedroom doors open, it will heat those too. If it gets too chilly we'll use a small heater in the bedrooms during the day but at night, blankets are enough to stay warm while we sleep. I am fascinated with your climate and love your videos. Thank you and a have a lovely Christmas! It's summer here and we will go to the beach on Christmas day!
Greetings from Germany! I’m using a heat pump with underfloor heating. It’s very comfortable and also efficient. For the local winter, this type of heating is absolutely sufficient.
It's amazing how many people live her in harmony. It just shows it's the people not the environment that makes us live happily! Take care and Merry Christmas!
First of all, your English is excellent! I live in Austin, Texas, USA and it’s very moderate here. I look at videos like yours in amazement at how you guys cope in such frigid temperatures. The human spirit never ceases to amaze me. Keep these kids of videos coming and stay warm.
I lived in Texas for over a decade and most people wouldn't considerate it a moderate climate, lol. The average high temperature in August is almost 98 decrees F. I would describe summers in Texas as pretty close to hell.
@@purselmer5931 The temps here are pretty strange, last night it got to an overnight low of 8 and it was cool and windy and on boxing day it will be 40. this is Celsius by the way.
@@MrBigBoy4Lifetemperate actually means that the difference between the highest and lowest annual temperatures is small. If you watch a video from Siberia in August you’ll probably be envious. 😊
I am in Brisbane Australia in a place called Redcliffe. It averages 14c to 26c in winter and 30 to 40c on average in summer. We have a 2-way air-conditioning system that blows up to 30c hot air in winter and as low as 16c in summer. The heat comes with humidity, can make it hard to breathe if you're not use to it. The units are housed in the main room where you watch television. The other one is usually in the parent's room. Everyone else uses electric fans in summer and warmer clothes and blankets in winter. My town is called Redcliffe because we have red clay cliffs facing the sea. Great video again. Very interesting.
30c to 40c is also terrible for me as a Dutch person. I don't like temperatures above 27c anymore. When it gets that hot I don't feel like doing anything anymore and I try to stay inside as much as possible.
@@hansd3295 I am from New Zealand so I think we are in the same boat. Not as cold as your Home land but it is similar to England, Ireland Scottish weather I have been told.
It's not brutalist! I mean for real... The soviet union built these as cheap as possible. Not because of they liked how it looks. It's not a style. You see these panel buildings in russia everywhere and eastern europe too where the soviets were. It's building made out of concrete panels. A literal trash, it was cheap to make and that's it. I have never lived in one of these, but I see them every day. It's not nice, at all. Where she lives is the same, it just got insulation.
@@moo8698 Plenty of the same concrete panel high rises all over the UK built in the ‘60’s and 70’s some already demolished but the others re-clad and insulated with combustible insulation such as Grenfell.
In the UK we have radiators built into homes that are either from a gas or electric boiler, but power is very expensive here, my home has gas but I don't use it to heat the home only the water for washing. my home is about 8c to 12c in winter, I use a small electric fan heater in the bedroom to try and keep it between 16c -20c when sleeping, I wear a winter coat inside and use blankets and a hot water bottle.
I am watching from northern Wisconsin, USA. It is very cold here and winters are hard. My heat in my apartment is gas and quite expensive in the winter. I very much enjoy your videos from Yakutsk, the coldest city on earth! For sure you will be having a "white Christmas"!
Am in Norfolk, England ... colder here than my New Zealand, but a helluva lot warmer than Yakutsk. I love the way you smile in conditions that would have me defrosting the rum ... (okayyyy, melting the run!).
This woman speak English so well. Her voice is rather soothing to listen to. I'm sitting under a heating blanket watching this video. I could never live there. I get too cold too easily.
Watching from the US , Im freezing just watching your cold temps wow and i thought it was cold here at +21F . Stay warm over there and regards from across the pond and your videos are captivating !
Watching from India, we heat via convertible Air Conditioners or Electric Heaters or the old way by burning wood in fireplace. Great video, informative and calm with no unnecessary music and noise.❤
When I lived in Edmonton, Alberta in Canada it got to -40C. My apartments were heated by central heating that was based on a gas boiler in the building. Before that I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska in the USA. -40C was a warm winter day there. The coldest day I remember in Fairbanks was about -67. My apartment was heated by a central heating system that ran off of oil. Both in Alaska and Alberta the cost of heat was included in the rent for the apartment because oil was cheap in Alaska and gas was almost free in Alberta back then. Later I lived in a house in Manitoba, Canada where it often got to -40C and could get as cold as -50C. It was also windy there. My house was super insulated and was heated with electric radiators. Electricity was cheap in Manitoba since it came from hydropower, so heating was not expensive. Now I live in a 170 square meter house on an island off the coast of Maine in the northeast USA. We have a propane boiler much like what you have in your apartment that heats radiators built into the floors. Our boiler also heats our water for washing. We also have a wood stove that we burn wood from our property in on cold days. Right now we are having what will likely be the coldest weather of the winter with temperatures from -10C to -15C. Within a few days temperatures will be back to +5C to +10C. Our temperature here is greatly impacted by the Atlantic Ocean which does not freeze here.
dam are you 100 years old? becasue that was in 1934....The lowest was −66 °F (−54 °C) on January 14, 1934....so basically, no, no you dont remember that
Nice to see you again. In New York, USA….we use a variety. In my 3 floor house they use an oil fueled furnace that heats a boiler. The hot water is pumped from the boiler throughout the house into radiators in the rooms and hallways which dissipate the heat. That slightly cooled water then cycles down to the boiler to be reheated and circulated back through the house.
I'm glad that modern technology allows you to live comfortably in such a harsh place, I live in the UK, I was going to say we typically have boilers in our houses same as your homes setup, but then I remembered heating is so expensive here that no one can afford to turn it on for any other reason other than drying laundry or having a bath. So our homes are heated by hopes and dreams of not living in a cost of living crisis!
Good video! Our apartments in apartment buildings are usually heated with district heating. On the other hand, our 100 square meters house is heated with electricity, i.e. a Mitsubishi Electric FT35 heat pump, and a fireplace that stores heat quite well. Greetings from Finland.
I'm in the US. We generally have 1 heating system for the entire house/apartment unit/condo unit and its usually gas or electric. Some places still do steam heat, but that's still one steam system per house or apartment building or condo building. I've never heard of anything in the US where there were multiple residential buildings sharing the same steam heat boiler system. Its always interesting learning about life that cold. makes me so glad I live in an area that rarely gets below -17.17C/0F and hardly any snow.
There's one in my midwestern city. A plant next to the river pipes steam to allot of buildings downtown. Its not uncommon to see steam rising from manhole covers. I believe the pipes are old.
Thank You. This is just one of many that I have seen om YouTude. Everyone had their own point of view. I like different points of view from people that live in Yakutsk. Blessings!
There is no environmentally friendly green electricity.This is a myth!A lot of energy and environmentally harmful materials need to be spent on the production of a solar battery.But they are made in other countries and sold under the guise of clean energy. If the climate allows you to save energy, this does not mean that you can do it everywhere. Our climate in Nizhny Novgorod seems to be not too extreme, but the temperature drops in winter are very large. This week, the temperature outside jumps from -20 degrees to +2 during the week.Frosts will usually come in January and may well drop to -30 degrees and last for weeks.This is certainly not Yakutia, but very close to the European Union.
This incredible woman is truly extraordinary, thriving with boundless energy in one of the harshest places on Earth-a remarkable testament to human resilience and spirit!
This is so interesting! I had no idea heating an apartment could be such a struggle in Yakutsk. Thanks for sharing your experience. Stay warm out there!
Communities like this serve as a valuable case study on how science can effectively address and overcome extreme conditions during extraordinary natural disasters.
when I moved to Canada I found I had no trouble with the cold at all- my problem was it was so dang hot indoors everywhere! Everywhere is so insulated and temps can be hotter than that. Then in the summer AC is rare.
Same here. I'd consider 20 quite warm, at least for the bedroom. But then again, I live in Germany, the weather forecast calls -7°C "severe frost", so it's hardly ever really cold outside.
I live in a four-storey block of flats built in 1891, the outside walls are 60cm thick and the windows have triple glazing. As I live on the first floor and both the flats above and below me are heated, I really don't need to heat much with gas. Of course, due to the change in climate, we rarely have temperatures below minus 5 degrees even at night. So the heating costs are low and less than 40 euros a month. Nice that you're making videos from your home again.
I live in Kentucky, USA. We have a 2,250 square foot home heated with natural gas. The monthly bill for half of November and half of December was $173. Not bad. We set our temperature at night to 65 degrees F and daytime 70 degrees. Thank you for sharing your experience in living in a much colder climate.
I asked you about indoor temperature and you made whole video about it. Thank you. Here where I'm living, indoor temperature is 20-25C. Im lucky because in my apartment building we have central heating substation from which whole block of buildings are heated. Central heating plant (or as you said boiler house) heats up steam and under higher pressure push it through pipelines. Then in substations, overheated steam heats the water which is distributed through pipes all around block. We don't have natural gas to cover whole country. There was plans to build gas infrastructure, but due recent events that's not going to happens. Central heating is quite expensive. For my apartment of 76m² monthly cost is $100 over all 12 months.
A special tipp from Germany....u can buy foil which is coated with silver. Its sticky to the glass from the inside and it reflects infrared light backside your house. So its a insulation for the windows and safes till 15% heating power
A tip from Netherlands to German's: Do not close nuclear power plants. Never go balls deep in Russian energy. Germany is the blame why in Europe now energy is expensive because now all energy flows to germany because they fked up alot regarding energy. Please vote properly and vote for nuclear power plants like France ok.
@@HermanWillems Schwachsinn! Germany produced 98% of its energy in there own country. By the way: it takes many years to restart an old nuclear power plant and even the same time to build a new one! And these atomic buildings are so secure, that they often be placed near the boarder (like Cattenom, Tihange, Doel, etc)? The Netherlands have current one nuclear power plant in operation. Wind and watercraft is the future.
@@HermanWillemsA special tip from New York, all of our problems in the world are pretty much from those ones we aren't allowed to question....hint:starts with a J and ends with a W
I’m from the states and I always find it fascinating on what other places in the world are like. Thank you for sharing what it’s like in your part of the world. With videos like this it always make our world feel smaller and our apartments are heated by gas because it’s easier to have gas in the mountains then pumping up hot water up here.
@ of course! I loved your videos and I’m glad to see you are back sending lots of hugs from the states and hope you have a merry Christmas and a happy new year
2:04 while rest of the world uses thermostatic valve, installed at radiator intake, to control temperature in each room individually, in Siberia, they just open the window or damage heating pipes insulation to lower the apartment temperature. Amazing!
Instead of investing in, and maintaining an efficient district heating system, the government decided it was more important to spend funds on bombs to destroy things. It would appear there are better ways to spend rubles than on weapons. We used to warm our house with Russian gas. But now we get it from Norway and the US. Meanwhile investing in getting rid of fossil fuel altogether.
While I won’t be going on Siberian vacations anytime soon, I do appreciate having a look into something only some of the hardiest people can endure. I hope you’re enjoying your life out there and hopefully there are more vids like this soon; so from America to you good luck 😁
I live in Las vegas... It has been a pretty warm winter this year so far .. my body heat alone keeps my apartment about right. Small apartment. The Summer however is not fun. I'm very impressed that you all have found a way to live there. I find it amazing
In the Netherlands every house has a central heating boiler. Its been that way since I can remember. New houses use heat pumps. It’s a very modern way of generating energy and heat from electricity. People use different methods according to their wishes. I recently renovated my house and we use underfloor heatings and airconditioner units to generate heat in the house. We have a radiator in the bathroom and a portable radiator in the attic. We don’t have a lot of affordable gas here, so most people feel the necessity to switch to electric heat pumps.
Wonderful video. It highlights what most people take for granted but providing the context of Yakutsk is excellent. Please continue providing videos highlighting your insights on your culture. It is thought provoking and at the same time entertaining.

Hello From India. My region gets cold no less than 6degree celcius. On warmer side our temperature goes till 43 on a very hot day in summer. We only use electric heater with blower in winters when we feel its too cold. Your home Yakutsk is a different story. you guys are amazing. Good Luck. We have central cooling in summer. No central heating here. 🙂
Hello from Denmark here 🤗 Even if we don’t get the same temperatures here as you guys does, our houses are very well insulated. Obviously we have double glazed windows but our walls and roofs are insulated too. Where I live the apartment are insulated with 300 mm rockwool and there’s no leaks around the windows either. All in all it’s very cheap to heat up. The entire building where my apartment is located is heated by public central heating.
@ Not really. There’s heat emissions that demands that a given window are not to let out more heat than it let ín during the heating time of the year. It’s the so called A-class regulative of 2021. But it doesn’t demand that it must be 3-layers of glass. 2-layers are enough, if they can live up to the rules. So in most cases up to 2021 it was mostly 2-layers glazing and only after 2021 that 3-layers became the norm. But still, if they can live up to the demands, 2-layers are still valid. My apartment got 2-layers and it’s from 2016, so it’s a long shot to claim it as a relic from the old days. Another benefit with 2-layers glazing is that it let more light in!
This time last year I considered crypto without much knowledge and decided to have a consultation with a fiduciary, and it was incredibly insightful. I got into the market with 15k, One year and a couple of months in, and I'm up with 550k. I truly cannot stress enough how helpful experts in this field are!
Grew up in Norway. Apartment blocks there mostly use central heating, i.e. each building burns heating oil, usually in a dedicated room in the basement, for all apartments. Other buildings use what we refer to as "remote heat", i.e. heating centers in various locations around town. We always heat our homes to 23 degrees C. I also lived in Alaska where it might even get colder (like minus 50 C) but still their homes are not at all well insulated, especially windows. They compensate by burning insane amounts of subsidesed fuel. I could not believe my eyes when I moved there! Merry Christmas, and stay warm and cozy. Jan.
Very nice video. I think it makes sense to use gas in that kind of climate in Yakutia where gas is also cheap. In Sweden where I live we use electricity and heat pumps to heat our homes. By pumping a liquid into the ground in pipes down to 180meter below we can harvest some energy stored in the ground and use it to heat our homes via water radiators. That way you only consume 1/3 of the electricity you would need with direct heating. I like your apartment it looks good. Thank you
Interesting. People probably think of Sweden as a cold, but it is not as extreme as Yakutia. I was thinking about heat pumps in Yakutia, but it's so cold there I don't think they will work. The very low temperatures mean that a lot of energy solutions used in other countries won't really work.
Thank you for sharing life in Yakutsk. Watching from Colorado USA, 1,800 sq ft home using natural gas furnace, forced air through ducts, 74°f setting. Winter cost avg $130 usd, Summer cost avg $20 usd. Come visit sometime :D
I live in a house in Houston, Texas, USA and here we don't use a heater other than occasionally in the winter. For example, it's winter here now, December 23rd at 8:30 pm and it's 66F (18.8C) outside, so there's no need for heating, the house stays warm from it being over 70F earlier and it's 73F (22.7C) inside the house so there is no need to heat or cool. During the summer it can reach up to 95F (35C) before 10:30 am, and it will feel warmer because of the humidity. I think it's a lot easier to deal with the cold than it is the heat. Cold you can bundle up and wear heavier clothing when outside but when it's hot you can't do as much to help you keep cool other than when you do when it's cold, you just stay inside.
I live by Charleston, SC USA. It’s a cold day when it’s 40/50 degrees F. We heat our house with a heat pump. Our summers can get to over 100 degrees F. I commend you for living in such cold harsh conditions. I watch Kiun B also from Yakutsk. Thank you for showing us your part of the world!
Watching this from London England. I think I won't ever complain about it being cold here! I find this video really interesting. In my view, 22 degrees is a good indoors temperature. Thanks for posting!
Seriously? Love? This is a region of Russia. They did another massive missile attack on the Ukrainian energy sector - today on Christmas Day. To deprive Ukrainians of heat in the winter. And you congratulate them?
Just found your channel. Thank you for sharing your life. Liked and subscribed. I live in France where my apartment building has under floor electric heating. It seems to work well. All the best to you!
One of the things I have to do in to trap heat inside my apt is cover the windows with plastic, so the seams don't allow so much cold to enter and to much heat to escape. This whole time I thought those Russian central heating pipes were actually moving gas not water. Learned something for this video. Thank you.
Dear Kiun, 25°c to heat an apartment is very hot for me, I set my thermostat to a maximum of 19°c and that is sufficient for me. Considering the average outside temperature of 4°c - 8°c that is more than sufficient. I must admit that winters are much colder in your country (down to -45°c) and this is not comparable. The quality of construction is better in your country than in ours, despite the fact that I live in an apartment that was built in the 60s. Your apartment seems to me to be much more recent.
While I live in the South East section of America, I once was in Alaska to repair a special radio system in the Control Tower at Elmendorf Air Base while there was a white out snow falling. While I was there, the temps were -34 degrees. That is the coldest weather I've ever been in. I tip my hat to you for where and how you endure such cold places... Not sure it would be for me, but you seem to enjoy it there and that really is all the matters... Thumbs Up!
Greetings from Türkiye, thank you for your informative video. We generally use individual heating system for each house but some buildings have central heating system.
@@LifeinYakutia Yes, it's a heat pump using water as the heatsink. Depending on the energy source, it can be energetically neutral and eco-friendly or none at all. Heat pumps are great, and being able to both heat and cool makes them awesome.
I live in Atlantic Canada. The winter rarely dips below -32°C, and then only for 2 days. I use baseboard resistive electric heaters for primary heating, but also have an air-to-air ductless heat pump which works even on the coldest -30°C days, but simply becomes less efficient at those lower temperatures. Many people use central heat pumps as their primary heat source. Some people also have a wood stove for backup (power outages), or an oil furnace as their primary heat. Most of those are being phased out because they are extremely expensive to fuel. Some larger buildings still use hot water heating with a central boiler. Thanks for your videos.
I have a 96% efficiency propane boiler circulating hot water through baseboard radiators. The temperature in my house is set at 65F (18C) and the house ranges from 60-65F (15-18F). So I'm colder than a Yakutsk apartment!
Yeah or coal / solid fuel stoves. Mines horribly inefficient on paper but keeps my lil narrow boat nice and warm 24/7 with shitty single glazed windows and lots of uninsulated metal / ventilation. If I lived on land I'd install a Chinese diesel heater no tax ;)
Thank you for your informative video! Here in southeast Texas our homes, apartments and buildings have central natural gas heating, and some buildings have electric heating. Three years ago there was a terrible five-day blizzard in February here that burst many water pipes and destroyed the electric power lines due to iced full trees falling. That's when the natural gas heaters helped keep everyone warm because the pipes are deep underground and then up to the individual house.
I live on the north side of Fairbanks, Alaska in a semi-rural area. We're 2 degrees of latitude north of Yakutia. The coldest recorded temperature in Alaska was in January 1971 at -80 F (-62 C). I live in a dry cabin (no running water, it has to be hauled) and heat with an oil heater. The tank, which is outside, holds 212 U.S. gallons (802 L) of #1 fuel oil (basically, it's like of kerosene). We have permafrost here, too, of course, and it starts about 18 inches (46 cm) below the surface (during the warm months) and goes down a long way. I noticed those smaller wooden apartment buildings shown in your video have been affected by heaving and sinking of the ground (why they look crooked up and down). There's a 4-family apartment down the road from me that the center is sunk down -- it was shown on the Physics Girl channel (ruclips.net/video/VMJPHqwv41U/видео.htmlsi=vk0g5RwJCmlGk3Ty). Fox, Alaska (mentioned in that video) isn't far from me. :) Some places here use propane to heat with, and there's a plan to get a natural gas pipeline to Fairbanks (that would be great). I'd rather have natural gas or propane instead of fuel oil for heat, and could also use that for cooking. I imagine you folks just _love_ those Soviet-era buildings with the central heat ("Everything must be centralized!"). I'm being a bit sarcastic -- I have a friend in Ukraine (and I know someone in Tambov, Russia and also in Mogilev, Belarus), and know about the (not very well constructed) block-style apartment buildings people were moved into that were all connected to a centralized heating plant. If it quit working (and did often enough), everybody froze. There are still some log cabins around here. I enjoy your videos -- nice to see how people in other parts of the sub Arctic and Arctic live. 👍☺
Wow -62.C thats cold, here the record was -7 and that made it 0.C inside the house. Normally it is around -3 although now it will be 40.C as its summer here. Gas and Elec is very expensive in Australia, years ago it was among the cheapest in the world but not so much now.
I live in another country in Eastern Europe in a block apartment. What makes you think they are "not very well constructed" ? They are excellent constructed, they're like fortresses. If something is to happen with the central heating, since I live in a big city (nearly 2 mil.people) the repair teams are big. They have their own equipment, that includes bulldozers, excavators, mobile cranes, trucks, mobile diesel generators, mobile repair trucks, which are fully equipped in the inside like workshops with all kind of tools, etc. They will come and will work non-stop (only workers will rotate shifts) until the problem is fixed. I'm in my 40s and for my entire life I've never heard or seen an accident, that took them more than 1-2 days to repair. They also make planned maintenance in the summertime, when problematic parts of the pipelines can be replaced on bigger scale. We also have electricity (can you imagine!), which can power all kinds of heating appliances - from ACs, to heaters, electrical oil radiators, ceramic dry heaters, fan-heating appliances, etc. There are also gas-stoves - all you have to do is buy one and then buy a bottle of gas from a nearby gas station. This gives you electricity independent heating, but the gas bottles are heavy, and also when the stoves burn they produce a lot of moisture in the air, so they're not a popular option, but in case of some dire need - they do exist. I for one use wall-mounted electrical air converters, because the central heating became ridiculously expensive - esp. with the current gas prices and the central heating works on gas. And you know where it usually came from, where it cannot come now from anymore for purely idiotic political reasons.
I lived in Fairbanks back in the 70s. I had some friends who lived in a log cabin in the woods. Their only heat was a coal stove and they had no electricity, but the cabin was cheap. They had no running water and carried water to the cabin every day since when they were away from the cabin during the day everything inside froze. They had a Volkswagen Beetle and I remember them crawling under the car with a torch to heat the oil to be able to start it and then heating the transmission so the car would move.
I’ve had friends who lived in Fairbanks and you guys get some insanely cold temps as well. It looks so beautiful there, but I’d definitely be a a part-time resident because I don’t think I could handle your winters. I’m curious where you get your water and if you store it in large buckets like the videos of people living in Oymakon?
very interesting story. thank you for the tour. our house in Florida is heated with electricity, forced air. we keep the thermostat 69 F, which is cooler than your appartment 😊
Greetings from the US. Thanks for sharing this amazing video. Here we have several different methods of heating depending on where you live in the US along with the age of the house or apartment. We have gas, forced air, radiators, electric and hybrid systems.
Thanks for this informative video! I'm watching from Central Illinois (midwestern USA) - we heat our home with a gas furnace and a Nest thermostat, which we set to 68 (F) degrees during waking hours when someone is home and 58 (f) degrees overnight while sleeping. It is very efficient--about 94%--and has a built-in dehumidifier. Our monthly cost in winter is around $50-80/month.
lived in Edmonton Alberta Canada, about 54N, most of my life. Growing up we had an electric furnace, from coal energy plants, & pumped hot air through the house. As an adult, most apartment buildings I've lived in had water-fed radiators, of various sizes. Tho no idea what that cost was, water was included as part of the rent. Fun video, love to see how other could weather cities deal with the winter 😅❤
I live in a stand alone house in Australia. We have gas central heating and ducted air conditioner on the roof. One unit does both. Our home has 9 rooms (not inc the bathrooms) and each room has a heating vent and an air-con vent. The house is zoned so we don't have to heat or cool the entire house. It's summer here now, we are expecting 40C + on thursday and a total fire ban has been declared. Fingers crossed we don't have any bush fires. Love watching your videos!!
Watching from Singapore. The houses here are heated by being in Singapore
You’ve got the sun heater 😄
haha, good one 🤣
In Singapore, you need the coolers/aircon not the heaters :)
It sounds cheap.
Being close to the equator helps. My sister-in-law is Singaporean, and we asked her what she thought of our Minnesota weather. While she loves our autumns for the color change in foliage, she's okay with winters. They're just long, she says.
As engineer I can say that keeping house at 25degC with 41degC LWT at - 40degC outside is truly amazing.
The 120m3 gas also amazing for me :DD i used 240m3 gas last month in a brand new 100m2 house with 15cm eps on the walls, also with floor heating (35C water in the floor) avg 23C in the rooms while out its like avg -2C at night and +3 day.
I'm not an engineer, but as an HVAC tech I was thinking the exact same thing.
@@bakdominik8659 what was even more amazing: 120m3 for 8$. It would be 150$ here in Germany...
@@bakdominik8659 In apartment buildings you benefit from your neighbours. The heat is transferred through the walls and floors inside the building. In average winter climates some apartments can go almost without heating if the neighbours are heating excessively. It is not comparable to a house.
@@stephanbrenner3317 I agree, but that does suprises me as much as this is Russia.
I think many people in the comments use the term central heating differently than in the video. When she says "central heating", she is talking about district heating, where the heat for an entire area is generated in a heating centre and carried to the individual buildings over long pipes. Some people here write "I have central heating" but what they mean by that is that they have a single boiler or furnace for their entire house/apartment (as opposed to having separate gas/electric heaters in each room) - which is what she called individual heating in the video. It's a big difference because in the latter case, you can set the temp for yourself, turn off the heating when you're away, etc...
Thank you explaining
Thank you for making it clear
In finland we call it roughly translated "remote heat" when you are conneted to a bigger plant. The central heating means mostly water circulated radiatros instead of having several fireplaces. No matter if you are conneted to network or have your own boiler.
Yes, that’s an important distinction.
Here in Austria it's the opposite. We try to get rid of gas heating. All new apartment buildings have district heating and are well insulated. My building is 2 years old. Now we have 0°C outside. Inside 21°C with heating turned off. 25°C would be too hot for me
What i really appreciate how people from all over the world, different cities and countries share their views, just like we are in a small global village. I m from India. I bless all of u guys. We never experience these kind of temperatures in our country but i love to watch your videos and comment section is awesome.
You need to visit more of your own country, i lived and worked in India for like 6 years, and I've experienced NEGATIVE 20c more times than i can count, and as i recall DRASS is one of the coldest places on the planet in the winter with temps routinely dropping below 35c.
I love the way you narrate throughout the video. You voice is so relaxing! So much interesting information as well. Can't help feeling grateful for my country Greece after watching your videos but also respectful for all of you who manage to live your life happily even in these extreme conditions.
uhm Greece is extreme lol, but in the other way around. And too warm weather is much worse than too cold weather. In the former you lie incapacitated down in a basement all day and can't sleep during the night and in the later you put on a jacket when you step outside.

I've been watching Yakutsk videos during December and January for over 15 years. It's a comforting way to drift off to sleep in my cozy winters, all the while feeling a bit of empathy for those brave souls enduring far harsher conditions.
I'm watching from Vancouver, BC, Canada 🍁 . Merry Christmas, and thanks for educating us about your life in the coldest town in the world!
I live on Waiheke Island - an island off the main city of Auckland, in the north part of the North Island in New Zealand - a very temperate climate. We rarely get a "frost" in winter (below 0 deg C) and most winter days are about 15 deg C or above. We use a heat pump - sometimes called a mini split - for heating our main living areas and if we keep the bedroom doors open, it will heat those too. If it gets too chilly we'll use a small heater in the bedrooms during the day but at night, blankets are enough to stay warm while we sleep. I am fascinated with your climate and love your videos. Thank you and a have a lovely Christmas! It's summer here and we will go to the beach on Christmas day!
Greetings from Germany! I’m using a heat pump with underfloor heating. It’s very comfortable and also efficient. For the local winter, this type of heating is absolutely sufficient.
Nice to see you are back. Your English is genuinely mesmerizing. Well done.

First of all, your English is excellent! I live in Austin, Texas, USA and it’s very moderate here. I look at videos like yours in amazement at how you guys cope in such frigid temperatures. The human spirit never ceases to amaze me. Keep these kids of videos coming and stay warm.
I lived in Texas for over a decade and most people wouldn't considerate it a moderate climate, lol. The average high temperature in August is almost 98 decrees F. I would describe summers in Texas as pretty close to hell.

@@MrBigBoy4Lifetemperate actually means that the difference between the highest and lowest annual temperatures is small. If you watch a video from Siberia in August you’ll probably be envious. 😊
I am in Brisbane Australia in a place called Redcliffe. It averages 14c to 26c in winter and 30 to 40c on average in summer. We have a 2-way air-conditioning system that blows up to 30c hot air in winter and as low as 16c in summer. The heat comes with humidity, can make it hard to breathe if you're not use to it. The units are housed in the main room where you watch television. The other one is usually in the parent's room. Everyone else uses electric fans in summer and warmer clothes and blankets in winter. My town is called Redcliffe because we have red clay cliffs facing the sea. Great video again. Very interesting.
30c to 40c is also terrible for me as a Dutch person. I don't like temperatures above 27c anymore. When it gets that hot I don't feel like doing anything anymore and I try to stay inside as much as possible.
@@hansd3295 I am from New Zealand so I think we are in the same boat. Not as cold as your Home land but it is similar to England, Ireland Scottish weather I have been told.
This is the first time I've seen brutalist architecture and thought that it looks super cool.
Not so cool living in the depressing monstrosity’s!
It's not brutalist! I mean for real... The soviet union built these as cheap as possible. Not because of they liked how it looks. It's not a style. You see these panel buildings in russia everywhere and eastern europe too where the soviets were. It's building made out of concrete panels. A literal trash, it was cheap to make and that's it. I have never lived in one of these, but I see them every day. It's not nice, at all. Where she lives is the same, it just got insulation.
@@moo8698 Plenty of the same concrete panel high rises all over the UK built in the ‘60’s and 70’s some already demolished but the others re-clad and insulated with combustible insulation such as Grenfell.
In the UK we have radiators built into homes that are either from a gas or electric boiler, but power is very expensive here, my home has gas but I don't use it to heat the home only the water for washing. my home is about 8c to 12c in winter, I use a small electric fan heater in the bedroom to try and keep it between 16c -20c when sleeping, I wear a winter coat inside and use blankets and a hot water bottle.
Mate you really shouldn't be keeping your house so cold, it's not good for your health and is definitely not good for your house long term

God bless you for being able to survive those temperatures! You are very resourceful 🙂
Wow. Hope that those systems never fail
Sounds pretty dangerous. A critical failure of the individual gas boilers and the pipes could be lethal.
No they are not being brainwashed by the green energy movement, they have reliable cleanish non co2 producing gas.
This whole city will be inhabitable when fossil fuels run out, it's just not somewhere humans are meant to live in large numbers.
This woman speak English so well. Her voice is rather soothing to listen to. I'm sitting under a heating blanket watching this video. I could never live there. I get too cold too easily.

@@LifeinYakutia Thank you !
Was nearly -20 f in Minnesota last night. Just a tad chilly.

Great video, informative and calm with no unnecessary music and noise.❤
Do you even have winters in india?😅
@karakul4806 Do you know about Himalayas?
When I lived in Edmonton, Alberta in Canada it got to -40C. My apartments were heated by central heating that was based on a gas boiler in the building. Before that I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska in the USA. -40C was a warm winter day there. The coldest day I remember in Fairbanks was about -67. My apartment was heated by a central heating system that ran off of oil. Both in Alaska and Alberta the cost of heat was included in the rent for the apartment because oil was cheap in Alaska and gas was almost free in Alberta back then. Later I lived in a house in Manitoba, Canada where it often got to -40C and could get as cold as -50C. It was also windy there. My house was super insulated and was heated with electric radiators. Electricity was cheap in Manitoba since it came from hydropower, so heating was not expensive.
Now I live in a 170 square meter house on an island off the coast of Maine in the northeast USA. We have a propane boiler much like what you have in your apartment that heats radiators built into the floors. Our boiler also heats our water for washing. We also have a wood stove that we burn wood from our property in on cold days. Right now we are having what will likely be the coldest weather of the winter with temperatures from -10C to -15C. Within a few days temperatures will be back to +5C to +10C. Our temperature here is greatly impacted by the Atlantic Ocean which does not freeze here.
dam are you 100 years old? becasue that was in 1934....The lowest was −66 °F (−54 °C) on January 14, 1934....so basically, no, no you dont remember that

So nice to know about you all. Thank you for sharing this with us. Good luck and best wishes. 🎉
Nice to see you again. In New York, USA….we use a variety. In my 3 floor house they use an oil fueled furnace that heats a boiler. The hot water is pumped from the boiler throughout the house into radiators in the rooms and hallways which dissipate the heat. That slightly cooled water then cycles down to the boiler to be reheated and circulated back through the house.
Do you use fuel oil in the city?
@ On Eastern Long Island..👍
I'm glad that modern technology allows you to live comfortably in such a harsh place, I live in the UK, I was going to say we typically have boilers in our houses same as your homes setup, but then I remembered heating is so expensive here that no one can afford to turn it on for any other reason other than drying laundry or having a bath. So our homes are heated by hopes and dreams of not living in a cost of living crisis!
Good video!
Our apartments in apartment buildings are usually heated with district heating.
On the other hand, our 100 square meters house is heated with electricity, i.e. a Mitsubishi Electric FT35 heat pump, and a fireplace that stores heat quite well.
Greetings from Finland.
I'm in the US. We generally have 1 heating system for the entire house/apartment unit/condo unit and its usually gas or electric. Some places still do steam heat, but that's still one steam system per house or apartment building or condo building. I've never heard of anything in the US where there were multiple residential buildings sharing the same steam heat boiler system. Its always interesting learning about life that cold. makes me so glad I live in an area that rarely gets below -17.17C/0F and hardly any snow.
There's one in my midwestern city. A plant next to the river pipes steam to allot of buildings downtown. Its not uncommon to see steam rising from manhole covers. I believe the pipes are old.
Thank You. This is just one of many that I have seen om YouTude. Everyone had their own point of view. I like different points of view from people that live in Yakutsk. Blessings!
Welcome Back! So lovely to see you again
There is no environmentally friendly green electricity.This is a myth!A lot of energy and environmentally harmful materials need to be spent on the production of a solar battery.But they are made in other countries and sold under the guise of clean energy. If the climate allows you to save energy, this does not mean that you can do it everywhere. Our climate in Nizhny Novgorod seems to be not too extreme, but the temperature drops in winter are very large. This week, the temperature outside jumps from -20 degrees to +2 during the week.Frosts will usually come in January and may well drop to -30 degrees and last for weeks.This is certainly not Yakutia, but very close to the European Union.
This incredible woman is truly extraordinary, thriving with boundless energy in one of the harshest places on Earth-a remarkable testament to human resilience and spirit!
Very informative! 👍
This is so interesting! I had no idea heating an apartment could be such a struggle in Yakutsk. Thanks for sharing your experience. Stay warm out there!
Omg! I love it. Greetings from Poland!
Communities like this serve as a valuable case study on how science can effectively address and overcome extreme conditions during extraordinary natural disasters.
25C is crazy hot for indoors. I would melt
That’s what I thought! I don’t know anyone in my life who would keep it above 70/21 in the winter. We’re usually around 20 or below all winter
when I moved to Canada I found I had no trouble with the cold at all- my problem was it was so dang hot indoors everywhere! Everywhere is so insulated and temps can be hotter than that. Then in the summer AC is rare.
Are you serious?
@@accountforwastingtime where? I live in Northern Ontario and w/o AC in the summer we would literally BAKE, most summers.
Same here. I'd consider 20 quite warm, at least for the bedroom. But then again, I live in Germany, the weather forecast calls -7°C "severe frost", so it's hardly ever really cold outside.
What a soothing voice… stay warm, happy new year!
I live in a four-storey block of flats built in 1891, the outside walls are 60cm thick and the windows have triple glazing. As I live on the first floor and both the flats above and below me are heated, I really don't need to heat much with gas.
Of course, due to the change in climate, we rarely have temperatures below minus 5 degrees even at night. So the heating costs are low and less than 40 euros a month.
Nice that you're making videos from your home again.
I don't know why but you sound like your german even tho the language is english😂, only german include "Baujahr".
I live in Kentucky, USA. We have a 2,250 square foot home heated with natural gas. The monthly bill for half of November and half of December was $173. Not bad. We set our temperature at night to 65 degrees F and daytime 70 degrees. Thank you for sharing your experience in living in a much colder climate.
Yes, down here in TN not even that much. Maybe 100 for a cold month in Dec/Jan. Love our natural gas
I asked you about indoor temperature and you made whole video about it. Thank you.
Here where I'm living, indoor temperature is 20-25C. Im lucky because in my apartment building we have central heating substation from which whole block of buildings are heated. Central heating plant (or as you said boiler house) heats up steam and under higher pressure push it through pipelines. Then in substations, overheated steam heats the water which is distributed through pipes all around block.
We don't have natural gas to cover whole country. There was plans to build gas infrastructure, but due recent events that's not going to happens.
Central heating is quite expensive. For my apartment of 76m² monthly cost is $100 over all 12 months.
Hello from Spain.. Thanks for sharing your life .Keep yourselves warm.Merry Christmas.
A special tipp from Germany....u can buy foil which is coated with silver. Its sticky to the glass from the inside and it reflects infrared light backside your house. So its a insulation for the windows and safes till 15% heating power
A tip from Netherlands to German's: Do not close nuclear power plants. Never go balls deep in Russian energy. Germany is the blame why in Europe now energy is expensive because now all energy flows to germany because they fked up alot regarding energy. Please vote properly and vote for nuclear power plants like France ok.
@@HermanWillems Schwachsinn! Germany produced 98% of its energy in there own country. By the way: it takes many years to restart an old nuclear power plant and even the same time to build a new one! And these atomic buildings are so secure, that they often be placed near the boarder (like Cattenom, Tihange, Doel, etc)? The Netherlands have current one nuclear power plant in operation. Wind and watercraft is the future.
@@fuppmanns_karel I think the future is nuclear Energy from nuclear waste material.

2:04 while rest of the world uses thermostatic valve, installed at radiator intake, to control temperature in each room individually, in Siberia, they just open the window or damage heating pipes insulation to lower the apartment temperature. Amazing!
Instead of investing in, and maintaining an efficient district heating system, the government decided it was more important to spend funds on bombs to destroy things. It would appear there are better ways to spend rubles than on weapons. We used to warm our house with Russian gas. But now we get it from Norway and the US. Meanwhile investing in getting rid of fossil fuel altogether.
While I won’t be going on Siberian vacations anytime soon, I do appreciate having a look into something only some of the hardiest people can endure.

I live in Las vegas... It has been a pretty warm winter this year so far .. my body heat alone keeps my apartment about right. Small apartment. The Summer however is not fun.
I'm very impressed that you all have found a way to live there. I find it amazing
In the Netherlands every house has a central heating boiler. Its been that way since I can remember. New houses use heat pumps. It’s a very modern way of generating energy and heat from electricity. People use different methods according to their wishes. I recently renovated my house and we use underfloor heatings and airconditioner units to generate heat in the house. We have a radiator in the bathroom and a portable radiator in the attic. We don’t have a lot of affordable gas here, so most people feel the necessity to switch to electric heat pumps.
Fascinating insight to living in Siberia ! Thank you !

Hello From India. My region gets cold no less than 6degree celcius. On warmer side our temperature goes till 43 on a very hot day in summer. We only use electric heater with blower in winters when we feel its too cold. Your home Yakutsk is a different story. you guys are amazing. Good Luck. We have central cooling in summer. No central heating here. 🙂
Hello from Denmark here 🤗 Even if we don’t get the same temperatures here as you guys does, our houses are very well insulated. Obviously we have double glazed windows but our walls and roofs are insulated too. Where I live the apartment are insulated with 300 mm rockwool and there’s no leaks around the windows either. All in all it’s very cheap to heat up. The entire building where my apartment is located is heated by public central heating.
We use triple glazed window panels in denmark. Only old buildings still have double.
@ Not really. There’s heat emissions that demands that a given window are not to let out more heat than it let ín during the heating time of the year. It’s the so called A-class regulative of 2021. But it doesn’t demand that it must be 3-layers of glass. 2-layers are enough, if they can live up to the rules.
So in most cases up to 2021 it was mostly 2-layers glazing and only after 2021 that 3-layers became the norm. But still, if they can live up to the demands, 2-layers are still valid. My apartment got 2-layers and it’s from 2016, so it’s a long shot to claim it as a relic from the old days.
Another benefit with 2-layers glazing is that it let more light in!
Hey Kasper, please keep boasting about insulation at your place.
This time last year I considered crypto without much knowledge and decided to have a consultation with a fiduciary, and it was incredibly insightful. I got into the market with 15k, One year and a couple of months in, and I'm up with 550k. I truly cannot stress enough how helpful experts in this field are!
how do y'all even make so much from crypto trading?
Grew up in Norway. Apartment blocks there mostly use central heating, i.e. each building burns heating oil, usually in a dedicated room in the basement, for all apartments. Other buildings use what we refer to as "remote heat", i.e. heating centers in various locations around town. We always heat our homes to 23 degrees C.
I also lived in Alaska where it might even get colder (like minus 50 C) but still their homes are not at all well insulated, especially windows. They compensate by burning insane amounts of subsidesed fuel. I could not believe my eyes when I moved there!
Merry Christmas, and stay warm and cozy. Jan.

Wow after watching this I truly appreciate weather in south africa
Very nice video. I think it makes sense to use gas in that kind of climate in Yakutia where gas is also cheap. In Sweden where I live we use electricity and heat pumps to heat our homes. By pumping a liquid into the ground in pipes down to 180meter below we can harvest some energy stored in the ground and use it to heat our homes via water radiators. That way you only consume 1/3 of the electricity you would need with direct heating. I like your apartment it looks good. Thank you
Interesting. People probably think of Sweden as a cold, but it is not as extreme as Yakutia. I was thinking about heat pumps in Yakutia, but it's so cold there I don't think they will work. The very low temperatures mean that a lot of energy solutions used in other countries won't really work.
Watching from Vermont..it was -1 ° yesterday which is very cold..Thank-you for your video..very interesting ❤ Stay warm 😊
I ALWAYS WATCHING FROM THE PHILIPPINES
Thank you for sharing life in Yakutsk. Watching from Colorado USA, 1,800 sq ft home using natural gas furnace, forced air through ducts, 74°f setting. Winter cost avg $130 usd, Summer cost avg $20 usd. Come visit sometime :D
I live in a house in Houston, Texas, USA and here we don't use a heater other than occasionally in the winter. For example, it's winter here now, December 23rd at 8:30 pm and it's 66F (18.8C) outside, so there's no need for heating, the house stays warm from it being over 70F earlier and it's 73F (22.7C) inside the house so there is no need to heat or cool. During the summer it can reach up to 95F (35C) before 10:30 am, and it will feel warmer because of the humidity. I think it's a lot easier to deal with the cold than it is the heat. Cold you can bundle up and wear heavier clothing when outside but when it's hot you can't do as much to help you keep cool other than when you do when it's cold, you just stay inside.
Same here in Spain. Merry Christmas.
I live by Charleston, SC USA. It’s a cold day when it’s 40/50 degrees F. We heat our house with a heat pump. Our summers can get to over 100 degrees F. I commend you for living in such cold harsh conditions. I watch Kiun B also from Yakutsk. Thank you for showing us your part of the world!

One of the things I have to do in to trap heat inside my apt is cover the windows with plastic, so the seams don't allow so much cold to enter and to much heat to escape.

Dear Kiun, 25°c to heat an apartment is very hot for me, I set my thermostat to a maximum of 19°c and that is sufficient for me. Considering the average outside temperature of 4°c - 8°c that is more than sufficient. I must admit that winters are much colder in your country (down to -45°c) and this is not comparable. The quality of construction is better in your country than in ours, despite the fact that I live in an apartment that was built in the 60s. Your apartment seems to me to be much more recent.
This isn't Kiun. This is Maria.
19c is not warm.
It's Maria's channel.
While I live in the South East section of America, I once was in Alaska to repair a special radio system in the Control Tower at Elmendorf Air Base while there was a white out snow falling. While I was there, the temps were -34 degrees. That is the coldest weather I've ever been in. I tip my hat to you for where and how you endure such cold places... Not sure it would be for me, but you seem to enjoy it there and that really is all the matters... Thumbs Up!
Greetings from Türkiye, thank you for your informative video. We generally use individual heating system for each house but some buildings have central heating system.
I'm also from Turkiye too, it makes me so happy when I see Turkish person on comments 😊
It was 7 degrees F this week in the NE US but our house is 68F so we’re doing fine. Very grateful for modern heating!
Our house has "lake heating". Pipes steal some heat from the water in the lake, and the pump makes the house warm. Yes, it's definitely magic!
That sounds like a water source heat pump. Its like a reverse ac.
Wow! Sounds eco friendly 😄
Basically that is geothermal
Where are you?
@@LifeinYakutia Yes, it's a heat pump using water as the heatsink. Depending on the energy source, it can be energetically neutral and eco-friendly or none at all. Heat pumps are great, and being able to both heat and cool makes them awesome.
I live in Atlantic Canada. The winter rarely dips below -32°C, and then only for 2 days.
I use baseboard resistive electric heaters for primary heating, but also have an air-to-air ductless heat pump which works even on the coldest -30°C days, but simply becomes less efficient at those lower temperatures.
Many people use central heat pumps as their primary heat source.
Some people also have a wood stove for backup (power outages), or an oil furnace as their primary heat. Most of those are being phased out because they are extremely expensive to fuel.
Some larger buildings still use hot water heating with a central boiler.
Thanks for your videos.
I have a 96% efficiency propane boiler circulating hot water through baseboard radiators. The temperature in my house is set at 65F (18C) and the house ranges from 60-65F (15-18F). So I'm colder than a Yakutsk apartment!
Efficiency ratings are pretty silly. For instance electric heaters are 100% efficient but they suck.
Yeah or coal / solid fuel stoves. Mines horribly inefficient on paper but keeps my lil narrow boat nice and warm 24/7 with shitty single glazed windows and lots of uninsulated metal / ventilation. If I lived on land I'd install a Chinese diesel heater no tax ;)
i love this woman's voice!
Thanks for thecharming presentation! Best wishesfrom New Zealand. I'd love to visit your town!
Wow.... 😮
@@gofgan Yah, I know, people are so stupid...
Thank you for your informative video! Here in southeast Texas our homes, apartments and buildings have central natural gas heating, and some buildings have electric heating. Three years ago there was a terrible five-day blizzard in February here that burst many water pipes and destroyed the electric power lines due to iced full trees falling. That's when the natural gas heaters helped keep everyone warm because the pipes are deep underground and then up to the individual house.
I live on the north side of Fairbanks, Alaska in a semi-rural area. We're 2 degrees of latitude north of Yakutia. The coldest recorded temperature in Alaska was in January 1971 at -80 F (-62 C). I live in a dry cabin (no running water, it has to be hauled) and heat with an oil heater. The tank, which is outside, holds 212 U.S. gallons (802 L) of #1 fuel oil (basically, it's like of kerosene). We have permafrost here, too, of course, and it starts about 18 inches (46 cm) below the surface (during the warm months) and goes down a long way.
I noticed those smaller wooden apartment buildings shown in your video have been affected by heaving and sinking of the ground (why they look crooked up and down). There's a 4-family apartment down the road from me that the center is sunk down -- it was shown on the Physics Girl channel (ruclips.net/video/VMJPHqwv41U/видео.htmlsi=vk0g5RwJCmlGk3Ty). Fox, Alaska (mentioned in that video) isn't far from me. :)
Some places here use propane to heat with, and there's a plan to get a natural gas pipeline to Fairbanks (that would be great). I'd rather have natural gas or propane instead of fuel oil for heat, and could also use that for cooking.
I imagine you folks just _love_ those Soviet-era buildings with the central heat ("Everything must be centralized!"). I'm being a bit sarcastic -- I have a friend in Ukraine (and I know someone in Tambov, Russia and also in Mogilev, Belarus), and know about the (not very well constructed) block-style apartment buildings people were moved into that were all connected to a centralized heating plant. If it quit working (and did often enough), everybody froze.
There are still some log cabins around here.
I enjoy your videos -- nice to see how people in other parts of the sub Arctic and Arctic live. 👍☺
Wow -62.C thats cold, here the record was -7 and that made it 0.C inside the house. Normally it is around -3 although now it will be 40.C as its summer here. Gas and Elec is very expensive in Australia, years ago it was among the cheapest in the world but not so much now.
I live in another country in Eastern Europe in a block apartment. What makes you think they are "not very well constructed" ? They are excellent constructed, they're like fortresses. If something is to happen with the central heating, since I live in a big city (nearly 2 mil.people) the repair teams are big. They have their own equipment, that includes bulldozers, excavators, mobile cranes, trucks, mobile diesel generators, mobile repair trucks, which are fully equipped in the inside like workshops with all kind of tools, etc. They will come and will work non-stop (only workers will rotate shifts) until the problem is fixed.
I'm in my 40s and for my entire life I've never heard or seen an accident, that took them more than 1-2 days to repair.
They also make planned maintenance in the summertime, when problematic parts of the pipelines can be replaced on bigger scale.
We also have electricity (can you imagine!), which can power all kinds of heating appliances - from ACs, to heaters, electrical oil radiators, ceramic dry heaters, fan-heating appliances, etc.
There are also gas-stoves - all you have to do is buy one and then buy a bottle of gas from a nearby gas station. This gives you electricity independent heating, but the gas bottles are heavy, and also when the stoves burn they produce a lot of moisture in the air, so they're not a popular option, but in case of some dire need - they do exist.
I for one use wall-mounted electrical air converters, because the central heating became ridiculously expensive - esp. with the current gas prices and the central heating works on gas. And you know where it usually came from, where it cannot come now from anymore for purely idiotic political reasons.
I lived in Fairbanks back in the 70s. I had some friends who lived in a log cabin in the woods. Their only heat was a coal stove and they had no electricity, but the cabin was cheap. They had no running water and carried water to the cabin every day since when they were away from the cabin during the day everything inside froze. They had a Volkswagen Beetle and I remember them crawling under the car with a torch to heat the oil to be able to start it and then heating the transmission so the car would move.
I’ve had friends who lived in Fairbanks and you guys get some insanely cold temps as well. It looks so beautiful there, but I’d definitely be a a part-time resident because I don’t think I could handle your winters. I’m curious where you get your water and if you store it in large buckets like the videos of people living in Oymakon?
@@todddunn945Damn. Now that’s some Alaskan toughness. I can’t imagine needing to heat up various parts of my car’sengine just to be able to start it.
very interesting story. thank you for the tour. our house in Florida is heated with electricity, forced air. we keep the thermostat 69 F, which is cooler than your appartment 😊
Good luck in the future. I hope Siberia becomes its own country soon and out from under the thumb of moscow.
Greetings from the US. Thanks for sharing this amazing video. Here we have several different methods of heating depending on where you live in the US along with the age of the house or apartment. We have gas, forced air, radiators, electric and hybrid systems.
I find it SO fascinating that people can live in such an environment, its almost like a different planet 😄
Thanks for this informative video! I'm watching from Central Illinois (midwestern USA) - we heat our home with a gas furnace and a Nest thermostat, which we set to 68 (F) degrees during waking hours when someone is home and 58 (f) degrees overnight while sleeping. It is very efficient--about 94%--and has a built-in dehumidifier. Our monthly cost in winter is around $50-80/month.
Greetings from Serbia !!!
Thanks for sharing!
lived in Edmonton Alberta Canada, about 54N, most of my life. Growing up we had an electric furnace, from coal energy plants, & pumped hot air through the house. As an adult, most apartment buildings I've lived in had water-fed radiators, of various sizes. Tho no idea what that cost was, water was included as part of the rent. Fun video, love to see how other could weather cities deal with the winter 😅❤
I live in a stand alone house in Australia. We have gas central heating and ducted air conditioner on the roof. One unit does both. Our home has 9 rooms (not inc the bathrooms) and each room has a heating vent and an air-con vent. The house is zoned so we don't have to heat or cool the entire house. It's summer here now, we are expecting 40C + on thursday and a total fire ban has been declared. Fingers crossed we don't have any bush fires. Love watching your videos!!
