That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that’s already insanely expensive

    In a place where it’s regularly cold? Whose brilliant idea was that?!

      When I said my house is tiny I truly mean that. I don’t even have space for a medium size house plant let alone a fireplace. The attic was converted into living space and I believe the fireplace used to be where the stairs are now.

      I have a wood burning sauna on a separate building though

          Yeah I have considered it. There’s just no good place for the chimney either. It would need to go thru the wall and past the eaves on either of the two sides of the building that the roof is not sloping towards to because else falling snow is going to rip it off in the winter.

            You could heat it from a fire outside with a boiler and a radiator. I’m not sure if they have those for sale in Finland but they’re a thing in the US.

            I know it’s not uncommon for the chimney to go through the eaves for more support, if that’s an option for you. I know someone in Alaska with a tiny house that did something like that, with a wall mounted tiny stove and it was pretty impressive!

        That sauna sounds like a candidate to hook up to the heat pump if you ask me.

        Diesel heater set up properly maybe the way, just not sure how well it would work kept outdoors at those temperatures.
