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.
I'm from Canada, after this I will never complain about how cold Canada is anymore. When it's cold here I will never forget you guys. God bless you all, stay warm and happy.
in canada politicians are not billionaires, they mostly become politicians to make a difference in their area, in russia people become politicians to steal money and be protected from procecution. thats why our Canadian north people dont have to deal with shit like rassians do. problem is - rassians like being a slave of their master. when they lose heat to their aparment they kneel and ask putin for help instead of going after those who are stealing from them, who were assigned by putin personally! imagine if trudeau assigned premieres of provinces, thats what dictatorship is, and that is what putin did - he chooses premieres and all goverment is hand picked by him. But people of rassia ask for help on their knees instead of demanding it from goverment
I am on the Gulf Coast in the USA and worked my outdoor job today with just a shirt and pants😆 Your way of living proves how adaptive we humans can be to our given environment; inspiring!
I am grateful to TH-cam creators that tell us the story about what their life is like in the area of the world where they live. I would rather watch such videos than watch TV shows.
@@saltycat662 If you take a flight there during the cold months, you might not be able to come back because the flights from that country going out might have a 3 month delay because of the high cold. So this place might not be good for a vacation.
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
Hi there from Fairbanks, Alaska. 🙂 i’m making myself feel better by watching a video about a city that’s colder than my city… 🥶😄😄😄 Great video, and your English is very good. 💙
I went to Barrow, Alaska in the early 90s for a college trip/class. I'll never forget how cold it was there, let me tell you. But it still doesn't compare to the temperatures Yakutsk gets. When we landed in Barrow (or near Barrow, I don't remember if the airport was in the town or not since it's been so long lol) it was -26F and on the 3rd night there it got down to -39F with a wind chill down to around -55F I want to say. Super cold, very dangerously cold obviously. But man, nothing compares to -70F or lower for months on end in Yakutsk etc.
Black Hills of South Dakota, natural gas boiler and base board radiators, for main heating in a 1200 sq ft house with a full basement. Wood stove as a backup heat source.
Russia is a genocidal shithole and laughing stock on the world stage, but this video is pretty far removed from that and still interesting, so why wouldn't comments be nice?
Jesus Christ has built a wonderful place for you to live- receive Him today and avoid the judgment that is coming. He loves you and wants you to be saved! Don’t believe the lies they will tell. 🙏 Aliens are demons.
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.
Browsing from the Pacific Northwest, the Seattle/Tacoma WA area. I'm with a comment I saw in this thread in I will never ever complain about the weather here after seeing this. Nothing but mad respect for you and your family Miss and those that weathered the elements to even build the apartment buildings.
Vancouver, WA here. We have it very mild in this part of the world. Lived in Michigan a few years. The brutal summers and winters were enough to last a lifetime. Can't imagine living in Siberia.
@@በተሰበ I can't imagine living there either and I served in the Military and was deployed to Bosnia one yr. I thought Bosnia was cold, but after looking at this video, Bosnia doesn't even come close to Siberia.
This was a neat ‘insider scoop’ on how people keep warm where it’s seemingly never warm outside lol, thank you for the tour! It’s nice to know you’re nice and cozy! ☺️
3:38 I'm sweating just at the thought of keeping my apartment at +25. When my apartment reaches +22 I start sweating even when I'm just sitting still and doing nothing.
Russians have different habits, coz first - heat is cheap. Like it is 50-70$ to heat big house to +30, second it is nicer to have warm house in cold contru and walk in panties at home))
When it is -64 outside, it shouldn`t be too difficult to coll it down a little. (Open a window for a minute) Or maybe they like to be extra warm indoors...
Interesting video. I'm subscribing. It's nice that this lovely young lady cares about and wishes well on her nearby flat dwellers, whose heating is not as good as hers. Greetings from Britain !
I'm so glad for you that you have inexpensive heating costs - you need it! Like many people around the world, I can't afford to heat my flat (apartment) very often. Last winter it was three degrees centigrade in my living room (I am in the UK) 🥶 Grateful for a roof over my head but would love it to be a tad warmer 🙄
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.
Dear Maria, I just recently discovered and subscribed to your channel. I especially liked the video where you donated to the three people who needed help after the fires. You are a sweet, kind, caring, compassionate angel. Beautiful young lady on the outside as well as inside. This world needs many more of you. Thank you for what you do and taking the time to produce the videos so we can learn about wonderful cultures and people like yourself we would otherwise never have the opportunity to meet. Sincerely, Larry
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.
Kanwalpreet, India is much larger and varied than the place you stay in. Please go around, explore your own country. There's a lot to know and learn. You may even end up surprised.
Posting from Orange Country, New York. We get cold weather and the occasional blizzard but nothing compared to what you guys go through. You have adapted so well to your environment-your apartment looks really comfortable, any vacancies in your building?'-but I also hope that the older buildings somehow will be able to improve upon their heating. Thank you so much on a really informative video!😊
Best regards from Switzerland. We live in a house that is about 300 years old. The whole house used to be heated by fireplaces in the living rooms. The room behind the fireplace is always a bedroom. There was also a wood-burning cooker in the kitchen, which heated the dining room at the back. Around 120 years ago, a coal store was set up in the cellar and there was a central heating system for all six flats in the house. 60 years ago, an oil tank was installed in the coal cellar and the coal heating was replaced by an oil burner, which now heats the water that warms the radiators in the rooms. We also reach -17 degrees here from time to time. This morning it was -8 degrees in the sunshine. The national record of 41.8 degrees below zero was set in La Brévine - we call it ‘The Siberia of Switzerland’. Good luck in the new year.
@@donngg Yes, of course. We have lots of Christmas markets in the run-up to Christmas. There are useful and less useful, tasty and less tasty things to buy. And lots of warm and hot drinks (with and without alcohol) to warm you up. As mentioned, we have mountains and you can take the ski lift up there and ski back down again. Some roads are also closed in winter and you can legally go down on a sledge. When I look after my work colleague's dog because he's on a skiing holiday in the mountains with his family, I have to take the dog for a walk twice a day, no matter how cold it is. Ice hockey is also very popular here and in rural areas there are still ice rinks without an arena above them. Sometimes there is also a small kiosk selling mulled wine and punch - I love something like that on a cold winter's day. There are also many regional events in the fresh air at the turn of the year. ‘Silvester Kläuse’ in the canton of Appenzell. Bonfires and parades. Then comes the carnival in February, which usually takes place outdoors, whatever the weather. Today it was -10 degrees and my father, my brother and I went into our forest, built a fire and roasted sausages in the embers. We also left hay, apples and carrots for the wild animals. It was a lovely day.
@@ricoblaser6308 Thank you for taking the time to reply! I'm glad you had a good day with your family. Looks like your place is fun, my town is really boring!

Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Canada. We have cold temps in winter, -20, -25 Celcius. Most home rely on Natural Gas forced air heating system, electric baseboard or heat pump air exhanger systems. Great video , the extremes of your community have peaked my interest for years, Thanks and keep them comming.
Interesting , I'm in Ohio, we are usually colder than Alaska, usually always get a length of time with -20, and when it gets to 18° ,,, it's T-shirt weather 😂
I'm writing from Colombia (South America). In my city the temperature varies between 13C and 20C throughout the year. We don't use heating or air conditioning in the house. We just open and close the windows to adjust the temperature.
I live in the other extreme, in the desert heat. We have air heaters out here which pumps heated air into the house. It's the air conditioning we're really focused on out here. The heat during the summer can approach 55°C (131°F). Thank you for showing how your homes are heated in one of the coldest cities on the Earth. I hope that new and more affordable and efficient methods for heating homes is created that all modern and older buildings can adopt without too much trouble. Stay safe and stay warm! :)
Good evening from Germany 🇩🇪 Congratulations for resisting such harsh cold 💪🏼 In my country, we actually have "warm" 0°C (32°F) outside. We generally have 4 types of heating our apartments or houses: - central remote heating - individual gas boilers - individual oil heatings or - traditional wood stoves (rare). In my small apartment, I use a gas boiler to keep it warm inside. Although Germany's winters are "hot" compared to Yakutian winters, I take cold showers in the morning to boost my immune system.
Watching from Ireland. We have used multiple sources since living here. One apartment in Dublin was heated using gas, very similar to what you have. We moved to another house, also in Dublin and we were using a heat pump (basically a reverse fridge). Since then, we have now moved to the country where we use Kerosene to fire a boiler for the house radiators and then we also have 2 fireplaces that we can use either coal, peat or firewood. The one fireplace is connected to the same pipes as the kerosene fired boiler so that helps with warming as well. We will be moving to a heat pump / solar based solution in the next few years where the sun can either power the heat pump or generate a credit with of energy supplier by contributing energy back to the grid. Houses here are valued here according to heat efficiency. Newer house are around and A rating but older houses can go all the way to F. If you can find an older house with a B rating, you are considered very lucky. Anything over C is relatively poorly insulated. Oh and for temperature, we very rarely go below 0°c unless you live closer the west coast which get blasted by Atlantic winds
Same with Arizona. We used to have rain occasionally but we’ve been in a drought for nearly 5 years. Honestly would rather live in the snow like in this video than this boring, overpriced hellhole.
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 live in Chicago, in a building that is about 100 years old, right next to Lake Michigan. We have radiator heat that uses water, sort of similar to yours. It's very inconsistent, with some units in the building getting way too warm while others don't heat enough. Back in Jan 2019, we experienced extreme low temperatures (the good ol' polar vortex lol) at around -50 with the wind chill. It was incredibly intense and difficult to be outside for more than a few minutes at a time. It's amazing how people can adapt to these extreme climates! Thank you for sharing!!
Put thermostatic valves on each radiator. The problem may be that water has a preferential radiator and little goes to the others. With thermostatic valves the circuit gets balanced. PS wind chill corrected temperature does not apply to buildings.
Chicago has wonderful brown brick apartment buildings. And the thang of it is, Chicagoans know how to live in apartments (for the most part). Eighty percent of its residents do so.
in Yakutsk, Siberia you have to keep your car running 24/7 or have a heated garage because if it is left switched off it freezes solid and has to be towed to a heated garage to thaw out.
@@bradman1961 the entire car freezes solid you can't open the doors or hood of car, all moving parts get seized up, so they keep the cars running with the heaters on all day.
@@dan58234 That would consume too much energy. Trucks in Quebec and probably all over north america have resistive heaters. You plug them in to keep the engine block warm.
@@louistournas120 Russia has dirt cheap fuel for residents. it's like the person says at 4:30 they keep their house heated to 25*C night and day and it cost $8 a month with the right heating set up.
Some people were living in the region since before industrialization, there were local tribes herding north deer, many farmers still do that. Others came to make money, as there is well paid seasonal work there, and higher salaries in general due to federal programs.
watching from hong kong !! water is heated by a heater, but the apartments are heated by the portable heaters, they’re not really built into the apartment. love watching your videos !!
Holly - o - Fark that is f. Cold. What a great time to be alive that we can see you and learn what your day to day life is like in such a hostile environment. What an amazing place and thank you for posting this in English. Seasons greetings from the UK.
Its not just the heater that makes your place efficient..it is how the building is built with that kind of thickness of wall..WOW !!! Thank you for the video.God bless and Merry Christmas : )
@@wiezyczkowata WOW! For my American compatriots, that's almost 2 feet thick! And is it not usually made of brick? I would imagine that as a side benefit of such a thick wall, the apartment must be soundproof.
As someone from California, I’m fascinated to learn that your exterior wall is 60cm thick and there are 3 doors to exterior. When I visited northern China during a freezing winter, the building I stayed at had central water heating. It was -5F outside while inside was so comfortable. I was amazed by how the building was kept warm.
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!
Hi, from the UK, I have a two bedroom semi detached house, we have a gas fired boiler with a radiator in each room plus several in the hall ways. Winters aren’t that harsh anymore here, Love your video. Always found your region fascinating due to the climate.
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.
Hi from Perth in Western Australia. We are in the middle of summer, today it was 38c, so we had the evaporative air cooler running, which kept the indoor temperature at a pleasant 25c. Coldest recorded winter temperature in the metropolitan area is -3.4c. In winter we use either reverse cycle air conditioning (heat pump) or a gas heater to keep the house warm. Keep warm in Yakutsk!!
25 C is really hot. Here in the Netherlands, I keep the indoor temperature at ca 20 C Outside is about 0 C now 55 m2 apartment in 50 apartment building. We use a central gas boiler.
as a russian, 20C is somewhat chilly for an indoor temperature. i used to live abroad in a country where heating was super expensive so i had to keep the room temp at around 17-20C like the locals did and it was torture. my fellow russian friends there felt the same lol. maybe we just tend to prefer it that way. back in my home country now and my room temp is at 25C atm, super comfy
@@cherie8908 In Russia, energy costs nothing. In Europe, if you keep your home at 25°C all winter, you're going to get a costly surprise on your energy bills
It's really time to abandon the metric system for heat. In Fahrenheit the air temperature falls between 0-100 degrees 98% of the time. Zero very cold out, 100 very hot out. 70 is pleasant.
@@cherie8908 Maybe if you work in a science lab the boiling temperature matters but its totally meaningless in day to day life. It would be like having a 0 to 100 speedometer on your car where 100 is the speed of sound.
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.
@@АрхНикоБа Yes very true. In New Zealand where I was born is a cold country with nothing dangerous. You can go on treks into the wild and not worry about being attacked. You can lay a blanket down and have a picnic. We did that here in Australia and got swarmed by big fire ants. We learnt our lesson.
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.
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
That was super interesting. I'm always amazed how you deal with these extreme weather. Wish you the best. We have gas , too. It's around 22 *C right now
I live in an apartment,U.S. with my little puppy. The gas heaters here are extremely old and the air ducts system was leaking air throughout it. So , after a few weeks when I moved in, I don't use the gas heater anymore. I started using small electric space heaters in each section and covered my patio glass sliding door with heavy plastic also the single rear window and all the inlet ducts with plastic. My apartment is half way under ground and cold air constantly flows into entire apartment, so I tape door each day after I get back to keep Air out. Another heater item I have is a heated mattress padding, that keeps my puppy and me warm each cold day/ night. Cost is around $75. For electricity and $10 -$15 for gas for water heater/ shower/ sinks. Affordable although this place is slowly deteriorating and I will eventually move to a second location this summer, 👍😊.
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"!
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.
Not every house, about 80% of the houses. We do the opposite of Yakutia, we're switching to district heating because gas is more expensive. Electric heat pumps are only used in the rich part of our society.
I’m so grateful this video popped up. I’m in the north east USA and I have forced hot water. There is a furnace which heats water that is piped through the house and across radiators. It is currently 17 degrees F outside and the coldest it gets is about -5 f. I love that you are in the coldest place on earth and you can smile. You must be an incredible person!
Its really interesting to learn that in the USA its called forced hot water- we consider this normal central heating in the UK! We have few options for heating!
@@louistournas120 It's literally as the name sounds - it's hot water forced through the pipes. She calls it simply "central heating" in the video. Same concept.
I live in central Maine and laugh at your -5 F. It often hits -20f in a cold snap. I have a heating oil furnace that powers a forced hot air system (meaning a fan pushes the air around the house). I burn about 200 gallons of heating oil a month in the winter costing in excess of 600 dollars.

@@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.
@@rdd_ That's 77 degrees Fahrenheit and do you need it that warm indoors and about 70 is a comfortable temperature along with suitable clothing indoors I find. Our energy prices in Britain have gone up so much that I only use minimal heat and wear lots of clothes indoors to keep warm now to avoid getting sky high heating bills and energy prices in Britain have more or less tripled in price.
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 met three guys from Yakutsk one year ago on a trip here in Namibia they came during our winter and they had T-shirts on crazy, but now I get it after watching your video
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!
North Carolina in the US here and I think our weather is comparable. Our average low is about 1C in our coldest months, we used to have a full furnace but recently replaced it with a heat pump because it just doesn't get that cold. If it does dip into the negative temps, we have electric space heaters and dogs. 😂
Here in Ireland we just had around three snow flakes and temperatures between -4 and +5 degrees Celsius and all hell broke loose with people panic buying as if there was no tomorrow and the government advised all people to stay inside 😂 The temperature in our house does never reach as much as +20° Celsius because it is poorly insulated and very old so we consider temperatures around 16° Celsius as tolerable and put on an additional layer of clothes.
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.
Watching from Arizona, here in summer it’s over 115 degrees! Can’t imagine living in the cold 🥶 we are at 50 degrees right now and I’m freezing! It’s amazing to watch this, love it!
Arizona here too! I’ve lived here for 16 years and I do not like it. It was my husband’s idea to move here. I can’t stand the heat. He loves it. The only time it’s bearable here is now. I’m finally getting my way and getting out of here in the next 5 years. The last 2 summers were too awful. I’m done with this place and my shoes melting into the asphalt. He finally agreed to move to Oregon or Washington, I can’t wait. Our house shot up in equity here and I’m grateful but I’ve been miserable in AZ. I don’t know how people can do this forever. Good luck with the heat. I hope it doesn’t continue to get worse.
@@AndyShegar 115 is nothin lol. Death Valley out here can get up to 130 like I believe it did this year, or last. But I grew up visiting my grandparents in Palm Springs every summer, 125 degrees every time. 🥵
Im german and staying in Norway. today -18°C in Oslo. Its cold..❄..but nothing against the temperatures where you are. thank you for your impressions and have a happy healthy 2025! Peace
Wow, 25 degrees inside! I have my heating set to 16 degrees, and with the right clothes on, it's a perfectly good temperature. Saves a lot of money too.
I'm watching from Canada, but I lived in Japan. In Canada, our houses are heated by furnaces that use natural gas. Apartments usually have central heating with hot water running along each apartment's outer wall in radiators. In Japan, my apartments always had poor insulation, as it is very humid in summer. However, during winter, it can get fairly cold (though still above 0 where I lived), and heating was by using the air conditioning/heating unit. It was almost always above 30 degrees in summer, so no heating required then. I would like to add that last year, we reached a record cold temperature of -53 one day, and it was below -40 for nearly a week. So many people couldn't start their cars, including me.
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.
Watching from Vermont USA. We get cold in winter but the lowest is around -20. Usually it’s around 15 F. We heat our house using propane and what we call radiant heat (in some rooms hot water radiant baseboards and in other rooms it’s radiant floor heating). We also have a woodstove we use to supplement on colder days and make it cozy and extra warm. I can’t imagine living where you do!!
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.
Those systems were once commonly used in the northern U.S. in cities on the East Coast, near the Great Lakes and in the Midwest and plain states. A lot of that technology was replaced when steam radiators gave way to forced air HVAC systems.
@@mickeyflynn5427 Yes, steam heat in houses is common in places like New York City (where water is plentiful), but that is not centralized. Each house or apartment building has its own boiler system. However, Consolidated Edison company does do centralized steam/hot water for downtown New York City for the skyscrapers as its more cost effective supposedly to have steam radiators to heat above a certain floor regardless of how cold it is.
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.
Watching this from Mexico where we don't have any heaters at all. So, no thank you and Viva Mexico where it is perfect warm weather all year around. Amen !
hola it's 2035 and it's only 52c currently ! perfect warm weather no heater required !! my eyeballs are boiling as we speak , but hey I don't need no heating !
Cheers from Winnipeg. I work outside all year round -40 is a shutdown day. I am blown away they don't dig up the frost I've laid pipe on frost that goes down 6ft deep. We have sewer 30 feet deep here.
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.
Quebec City, Canada here. We often get -25C and -30C during winter here. Most of us heat our houses or apartments with electric baseboards in each room. This is pretty efficient for our climate. Some use natural gas or fuel oil. Some use auxiliary heating sources like wood fireplaces, but many cities admins are beginning to forbid this energy source. Because they are pricks of course.
@@apple1667 The main reason for Justin as president is probably that the state does not get any profit from burning wood. As most people buy firewood without a receipt or chop it themselves. I live in northern Sweden near the Arctic Circle in a medium-sized city and here you don't notice any smog, although most people light fires when it's the coldest.
If your government is trying to stop you from burning wood, ignore it for as long as possible. If that doesn't work, establish a constitutional republic. Look down for details.
Electric baseboard heat is actually like the most inefficient and ineffective and costly heating methods for a residential dwelling. As a homeowner/builder in a cold climate theyd be my last choice iykyk. Proper insulation & ductwork design and placement and forced air systems provide the better heating (& cooling) efficiency. Gas or electric infrared fireplaces are great too.
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.
I'm an Aussie, so heating is turning off the air conditioner. It's currently quite warm daily but during winter it doesn't get cold enough that some long clothes isn't enough to keep me warm. Thanks for showing the stark differences, it was very interesting.

Ahhh Canada....America's next state.
in canada politicians are not billionaires, they mostly become politicians to make a difference in their area, in russia people become politicians to steal money and be protected from procecution. thats why our Canadian north people dont have to deal with shit like rassians do. problem is - rassians like being a slave of their master. when they lose heat to their aparment they kneel and ask putin for help instead of going after those who are stealing from them, who were assigned by putin personally! imagine if trudeau assigned premieres of provinces, thats what dictatorship is, and that is what putin did - he chooses premieres and all goverment is hand picked by him. But people of rassia ask for help on their knees instead of demanding it from goverment

@@saltycat662 If you take a flight there during the cold months, you might not be able to come back because the flights from that country going out might have a 3 month delay because of the high cold. So this place might not be good for a vacation.
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

I went to Barrow, Alaska in the early 90s for a college trip/class. I'll never forget how cold it was there, let me tell you. But it still doesn't compare to the temperatures Yakutsk gets. When we landed in Barrow (or near Barrow, I don't remember if the airport was in the town or not since it's been so long lol) it was -26F and on the 3rd night there it got down to -39F with a wind chill down to around -55F I want to say. Super cold, very dangerously cold obviously. But man, nothing compares to -70F or lower for months on end in Yakutsk etc.

Agreed, if 25 degrees is "comfortable", don't live in Siberia. I rarely set mine higher than 19 degrees in the UK.
When it is -64 outside, it shouldn`t be too difficult to coll it down a little. (Open a window for a minute) Or maybe they like to be extra warm indoors...

I'm so glad for you that you have inexpensive heating costs - you need it! Like many people around the world, I can't afford to heat my flat (apartment) very often. Last winter it was three degrees centigrade in my living room (I am in the UK) 🥶 Grateful for a roof over my head but would love it to be a tad warmer 🙄
Same. UK and electric heating. I never tried 25°Celsius. But about 18.
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.
Yeah, you can't beat the coziness factor.
Dear Maria, I just recently discovered and subscribed to your channel. I especially liked the video where you donated to the three people who needed help after the fires.

Thank you for what you do and taking the time to produce the videos so we can learn about wonderful cultures and people like yourself we would otherwise never have the opportunity to meet. Sincerely, Larry
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.
Kanwalpreet, India is much larger and varied than the place you stay in. Please go around, explore your own country. There's a lot to know and learn. You may even end up surprised.
India is filled with crime and poverty. India should share less and fix the real problems.
I love this too brother I'm watching from England, I love seeing different cultures and their ways of life the world is full of diversity it's great
Posting from Orange Country, New York. We get cold weather and the occasional blizzard but nothing compared to what you guys go through. You have adapted so well to your environment-your apartment looks really comfortable, any vacancies in your building?'-but I also hope that the older buildings somehow will be able to improve upon their heating. Thank you so much on a really informative video!😊
One of the best ASMR voices I ever heard.
Best regards from Switzerland.
We live in a house that is about 300 years old. The whole house used to be heated by fireplaces in the living rooms. The room behind the fireplace is always a bedroom. There was also a wood-burning cooker in the kitchen, which heated the dining room at the back.
Around 120 years ago, a coal store was set up in the cellar and there was a central heating system for all six flats in the house. 60 years ago, an oil tank was installed in the coal cellar and the coal heating was replaced by an oil burner, which now heats the water that warms the radiators in the rooms. We also reach -17 degrees here from time to time. This morning it was -8 degrees in the sunshine. The national record of 41.8 degrees below zero was set in La Brévine - we call it ‘The Siberia of Switzerland’.
Good luck in the new year.
I see your house have some History! Amazing
Which activities you do outside, is it common to do social activities out there?
Skiing @@donngg
@@donngg Yes, of course.
We have lots of Christmas markets in the run-up to Christmas. There are useful and less useful, tasty and less tasty things to buy. And lots of warm and hot drinks (with and without alcohol) to warm you up. As mentioned, we have mountains and you can take the ski lift up there and ski back down again. Some roads are also closed in winter and you can legally go down on a sledge. When I look after my work colleague's dog because he's on a skiing holiday in the mountains with his family, I have to take the dog for a walk twice a day, no matter how cold it is. Ice hockey is also very popular here and in rural areas there are still ice rinks without an arena above them. Sometimes there is also a small kiosk selling mulled wine and punch - I love something like that on a cold winter's day. There are also many regional events in the fresh air at the turn of the year. ‘Silvester Kläuse’ in the canton of Appenzell.
Bonfires and parades. Then comes the carnival in February, which usually takes place outdoors, whatever the weather.
Today it was -10 degrees and my father, my brother and I went into our forest, built a fire and roasted sausages in the embers. We also left hay, apples and carrots for the wild animals. It was a lovely day.

Good evening from Germany 🇩🇪
Congratulations for resisting such harsh cold 💪🏼
In my country, we actually have "warm" 0°C (32°F) outside.
We generally have 4 types of heating our apartments or houses:
- central remote heating
- individual gas boilers
- individual oil heatings or
- traditional wood stoves (rare).
In my small apartment, I use a gas boiler to keep it warm inside. Although Germany's winters are "hot" compared to Yakutian winters, I take cold showers in the morning to boost my immune system.
Watching from Ireland. We have used multiple sources since living here. One apartment in Dublin was heated using gas, very similar to what you have. We moved to another house, also in Dublin and we were using a heat pump (basically a reverse fridge). Since then, we have now moved to the country where we use Kerosene to fire a boiler for the house radiators and then we also have 2 fireplaces that we can use either coal, peat or firewood. The one fireplace is connected to the same pipes as the kerosene fired boiler so that helps with warming as well.
We will be moving to a heat pump / solar based solution in the next few years where the sun can either power the heat pump or generate a credit with of energy supplier by contributing energy back to the grid.
Houses here are valued here according to heat efficiency. Newer house are around and A rating but older houses can go all the way to F. If you can find an older house with a B rating, you are considered very lucky. Anything over C is relatively poorly insulated.
Oh and for temperature, we very rarely go below 0°c unless you live closer the west coast which get blasted by Atlantic winds

I live in Chicago, in a building that is about 100 years old, right next to Lake Michigan. We have radiator heat that uses water, sort of similar to yours. It's very inconsistent, with some units in the building getting way too warm while others don't heat enough.
Back in Jan 2019, we experienced extreme low temperatures (the good ol' polar vortex lol) at around -50 with the wind chill. It was incredibly intense and difficult to be outside for more than a few minutes at a time. It's amazing how people can adapt to these extreme climates! Thank you for sharing!!
In the U.K. most houses he’s radiators. If it’s inconsistent you most likely have air in the system which can be bled
Put thermostatic valves on each radiator. The problem may be that water has a preferential radiator and little goes to the others. With thermostatic valves the circuit gets balanced.
PS wind chill corrected temperature does not apply to buildings.
You are bleeding your radiators right

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.
Hi from Portugal! My house is even colder than your outside wall temperature (3:53)! 😬😵💫Thank you for sharing.
Hi from Perth in Western Australia. We are in the middle of summer, today it was 38c, so we had the evaporative air cooler running, which kept the indoor temperature at a pleasant 25c. Coldest recorded winter temperature in the metropolitan area is -3.4c. In winter we use either reverse cycle air conditioning (heat pump) or a gas heater to keep the house warm. Keep warm in Yakutsk!!
25 C is really hot.
Here in the Netherlands, I keep the indoor temperature at ca 20 C
Outside is about 0 C now
55 m2 apartment in 50 apartment building. We use a central gas boiler.
as a russian, 20C is somewhat chilly for an indoor temperature. i used to live abroad in a country where heating was super expensive so i had to keep the room temp at around 17-20C like the locals did and it was torture. my fellow russian friends there felt the same lol. maybe we just tend to prefer it that way. back in my home country now and my room temp is at 25C atm, super comfy
@@cherie8908 In Russia, energy costs nothing. In Europe, if you keep your home at 25°C all winter, you're going to get a costly surprise on your energy bills
It's really time to abandon the metric system for heat. In Fahrenheit the air temperature falls between 0-100 degrees 98% of the time. Zero very cold out, 100 very hot out. 70 is pleasant.
@ is this a joke 😭 in celsius below zero is where the water freezes, 100C is where the water boils. it’s literally so clear and intuitive
@@cherie8908 Maybe if you work in a science lab the boiling temperature matters but its totally meaningless in day to day life. It would be like having a 0 to 100 speedometer on your car where 100 is the speed of sound.

Watching from the UK 🇬🇧 We have no season to complain when the snow arrives and we use central heating for our hot water.
Happy new year.
Omg! I love it. Greetings from Poland!
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.
@@skycloud4802Yeah, hope there are check valves in that system. Would be better to individually vent.
@@skycloud4802 could you explain how bad if one of them failed? thanks just curious
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.
but pluses are there no any spiders or bugs or something venonomus In coldest places...
@@АрхНикоБа Yes very true. In New Zealand where I was born is a cold country with nothing dangerous. You can go on treks into the wild and not worry about being attacked. You can lay a blanket down and have a picnic. We did that here in Australia and got swarmed by big fire ants.
We learnt our lesson.
Celsius is such a shit system
Hello from Canada, it is only -21 here today so comparatively quite tropical. Stay warm, thanks for the videos.
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.
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.
Thanks for watching! 🤍 It is amazing how different places have different solutions for heating depending on their resources!
@ 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
4:33 Paying 8 dollars a month for heating under such circumstantces is incredible. Someting is going wrong here.
They have plenty of gas. Deep Russia! Gas, oil, everything.
Russia has a lot of gas but can't export all of it, so domestically it is very cheap there right now.
That was super interesting. I'm always amazed how you deal with these extreme weather. Wish you the best. We have gas , too. It's around 22 *C right now
I live in an apartment,U.S. with my little puppy. The gas heaters here are extremely old and the air ducts system was leaking air throughout it. So , after a few weeks when I moved in, I don't use the gas heater anymore. I started using small electric space heaters in each section and covered my patio glass sliding door with heavy plastic also the single rear window and all the inlet ducts with plastic. My apartment is half way under ground and cold air constantly flows into entire apartment, so I tape door each day after I get back to keep Air out. Another heater item I have is a heated mattress padding, that keeps my puppy and me warm each cold day/ night. Cost is around $75. For electricity and $10 -$15 for gas for water heater/ shower/ sinks. Affordable although this place is slowly deteriorating and I will eventually move to a second location this summer, 👍😊.
I’m truly impressed w/ your ingenuity. In addition, there’s nothing more wonderful than sleeping w/ a warm, cuddly puppy!❤
@@denisek292thank you, survival is challenging everyday but, I'll manage to get by and of course with my puppy, he's happy and I'm happy too, 😊.

Where the hell r u ? A C in Dec????
@@Integrity02 In San Antonio it has been in the 70s still, hopefully starting to cool off next week.
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.
Not every house, about 80% of the houses. We do the opposite of Yakutia, we're switching to district heating because gas is more expensive. Electric heat pumps are only used in the rich part of our society.
@ interesting, thanks for sharing your experience!!
I’m so grateful this video popped up. I’m in the north east USA and I have forced hot water. There is a furnace which heats water that is piped through the house and across radiators. It is currently 17 degrees F outside and the coldest it gets is about -5 f.
I love that you are in the coldest place on earth and you can smile. You must be an incredible person!
Its really interesting to learn that in the USA its called forced hot water- we consider this normal central heating in the UK! We have few options for heating!
What's forced hot water? Do you burn mazoot (diesel) and the system sends water through pipes?
@@louistournas120 It's literally as the name sounds - it's hot water forced through the pipes. She calls it simply "central heating" in the video. Same concept.
I live in central Maine and laugh at your -5 F. It often hits -20f in a cold snap. I have a heating oil furnace that powers a forced hot air system (meaning a fan pushes the air around the house). I burn about 200 gallons of heating oil a month in the winter costing in excess of 600 dollars.
@@xandror -5 °F = -21 °C

I am no longer complaining about our winters 😂. Regards from Scotland 🏴
Wow - shocker at the end- what a bargain!
8 dollars for heating per month, in Europe soon you'll pay that much a day
@rafalth81 Good. That's what people deserve that fight the useless battle against climate change.
I was thinking the same. That is so cheap. Here in Ireland we used similar heating systems but it costs insane money
@rafalth81 But we had 30x more income, so its the same here.

Watching from England we have the Same Heating as yourself, MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅🎄🥰🇬🇧
Except our heating in England is now much more expensive and we can't afford to heat our homes anymore.
@@Tony11806 I could only dream of affording being able to heat my house to 25 degrees during the winter!
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.
@@rdd_ That's 77 degrees Fahrenheit and do you need it that warm indoors and about 70 is a comfortable temperature along with suitable clothing indoors I find.
Our energy prices in Britain have gone up so much that I only use minimal heat and wear lots of clothes indoors to keep warm now to avoid getting sky high heating bills and energy prices in Britain have more or less tripled in price.
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 met three guys from Yakutsk one year ago on a trip here in Namibia they came during our winter and they had T-shirts on crazy, but now I get it after watching your video
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!
North Carolina in the US here and I think our weather is comparable. Our average low is about 1C in our coldest months, we used to have a full furnace but recently replaced it with a heat pump because it just doesn't get that cold. If it does dip into the negative temps, we have electric space heaters and dogs. 😂
@@asriahsurana Dogs are an important heat source here too!
Here in Ireland we just had around three snow flakes and temperatures between -4 and +5 degrees Celsius and all hell broke loose with people panic buying as if there was no tomorrow and the government advised all people to stay inside 😂
The temperature in our house does never reach as much as +20° Celsius because it is poorly insulated and very old so we consider temperatures around 16° Celsius as tolerable and put on an additional layer of clothes.
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..👍
That's a boiler, not a furnace. Furnaces heat air, boilers heat water.
Wow very interesting video. I live in Florida, USA and it is hot all year round almost. I miss the colder weather, Thank you for sharing.
Watching from Arizona, here in summer it’s over 115 degrees! Can’t imagine living in the cold 🥶 we are at 50 degrees right now and I’m freezing! It’s amazing to watch this, love it!
Stop using F.
Arizona here too! I’ve lived here for 16 years and I do not like it. It was my husband’s idea to move here. I can’t stand the heat. He loves it. The only time it’s bearable here is now. I’m finally getting my way and getting out of here in the next 5 years. The last 2 summers were too awful. I’m done with this place and my shoes melting into the asphalt. He finally agreed to move to Oregon or Washington, I can’t wait. Our house shot up in equity here and I’m grateful but I’ve been miserable in AZ. I don’t know how people can do this forever. Good luck with the heat. I hope it doesn’t continue to get worse.
115?? Won't we die by dehydration after 50°C.
Same! Live in the desert 🌵 here in California. I could never in places like this. Below 60 Fahrenheit is 🥶
@@AndyShegar 115 is nothin lol. Death Valley out here can get up to 130 like I believe it did this year, or last. But I grew up visiting my grandparents in Palm Springs every summer, 125 degrees every time. 🥵
Very informative! 👍

Im german and staying in Norway. today -18°C in Oslo. Its cold..❄..but nothing against the temperatures where you are. thank you for your impressions and have a happy healthy 2025! Peace
Wow, 25 degrees inside! I have my heating set to 16 degrees, and with the right clothes on, it's a perfectly good temperature. Saves a lot of money too.
I was wondering that myself. 77F is too hot!
16 dregrees is nice but keep air humidity below 60% otherwise you risk getting mold
I'm from France and I dont warm my place except the bathroom when im about to take a shower, just use the right cloth and its fine
I'm watching from Canada, but I lived in Japan. In Canada, our houses are heated by furnaces that use natural gas. Apartments usually have central heating with hot water running along each apartment's outer wall in radiators. In Japan, my apartments always had poor insulation, as it is very humid in summer. However, during winter, it can get fairly cold (though still above 0 where I lived), and heating was by using the air conditioning/heating unit. It was almost always above 30 degrees in summer, so no heating required then.
I would like to add that last year, we reached a record cold temperature of -53 one day, and it was below -40 for nearly a week. So many people couldn't start their cars, including me.
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.
Watching from Vermont USA. We get cold in winter but the lowest is around -20. Usually it’s around 15 F. We heat our house using propane and what we call radiant heat (in some rooms hot water radiant baseboards and in other rooms it’s radiant floor heating). We also have a woodstove we use to supplement on colder days and make it cozy and extra warm. I can’t imagine living where you do!!
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.
Many colleges with older buildings use this distric-style heating. It is usually kept much too hot and your body doesn’t acclimate to winter.
Those systems were once commonly used in the northern U.S. in cities on the East Coast, near the Great Lakes and in the Midwest and plain states. A lot of that technology was replaced when steam radiators gave way to forced air HVAC systems.
@@mickeyflynn5427 Yes, steam heat in houses is common in places like New York City (where water is plentiful), but that is not centralized. Each house or apartment building has its own boiler system. However, Consolidated Edison company does do centralized steam/hot water for downtown New York City for the skyscrapers as its more cost effective supposedly to have steam radiators to heat above a certain floor regardless of how cold it is.
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.
Watching this from Mexico where we don't have any heaters at all. So, no thank you and Viva Mexico where it is perfect warm weather all year around. Amen !
hola it's 2035 and it's only 52c currently ! perfect warm weather no heater required !! my eyeballs are boiling as we speak , but hey I don't need no heating !
Cheers from Winnipeg. I work outside all year round -40 is a shutdown day. I am blown away they don't dig up the frost I've laid pipe on frost that goes down 6ft deep. We have sewer 30 feet deep here.
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.
Quebec City, Canada here. We often get -25C and -30C during winter here. Most of us heat our houses or apartments with electric baseboards in each room. This is pretty efficient for our climate. Some use natural gas or fuel oil. Some use auxiliary heating sources like wood fireplaces, but many cities admins are beginning to forbid this energy source. Because they are pricks of course.
N Florida..I use a propane heater run by a BBQ grill tank..38k..BTU..amazing and can fit in an SUV..wonder if that is legal in ur building
Are they forbidding them due to the increase in smog warnings?
@@apple1667 The main reason for Justin as president is probably that the state does not get any profit from burning wood. As most people buy firewood without a receipt or chop it themselves.
I live in northern Sweden near the Arctic Circle in a medium-sized city and here you don't notice any smog, although most people light fires when it's the coldest.
If your government is trying to stop you from burning wood, ignore it for as long as possible. If that doesn't work, establish a constitutional republic. Look down for details.
Electric baseboard heat is actually like the most inefficient and ineffective and costly heating methods for a residential dwelling. As a homeowner/builder in a cold climate theyd be my last choice iykyk. Proper insulation & ductwork design and placement and forced air systems provide the better heating (& cooling) efficiency. Gas or electric infrared fireplaces are great too.
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.
