Perhaps something to do with condensing furnaces and corrosion I suspect if it doesnt cycle enough?

Re: How do you sleep at night???
 

No idea what I'm going to do in Canada.

Here I like no heating and window open (even in winter) and to snuggle up and wrap myself up in the duvet, but OH hates window open and never has any duvet cause I've nicked it all:rofl:.

Re: How do you sleep at night???
 

I was told not to go below 15 degrees in the winter so that any pipes running on the inside of the outside walls wouldn't freeze.... don't know the truth of it would have thought the insulation would stop that. :confused:

Re: How do you sleep at night???
 

Blimey, no wonder my bills are so high. Once I turn the heating on, right now set at 20oC, it's set at the same temp all the time, day or night. I thought it would only 'kick in' if the temp dropped below what you had set it for, and therefore thought this was the best route to go.

Re: How do you sleep at night???
 

That is what it does, but why heat to 20 when everyone is tucked under the duvet at night. In theory thats say a third or a quarter of the the time, and each degree cooler over 24h is 3% off your heating bill, so setting it at 17 overnight for 8 hours could save you 3% off your energy bill. Every 1 degree warmer during the AC season saves about 1% off your energy bill too.

Keeping your filters clean also makes a huge difference on the fan loads and efficiency of the heat exchangers. Once the coils are dirty, they are virtually impossible to get clean again and efficiency suffers. Having the fan on automatically only while the furnace needs it is also a big saver, as are modern multispeed furnace fans.

I was at an energy efficiency seminar last week if you cant tell.;)

Most definately a super-king goose down duvet...:o...but it went in the container last Tuesday! :thumbdown:
So now have to sleep on a airbed with a double hollow fibre thing! :huh:
Heating, always above 22 day time and 18 at night, run on constant. :blink:
I expect heating bills in Canada to be high, even in summer coz we have also included airconditioning! :eek:

(On my tummy)

Am definitely a duvet girl, with flannel cover/sheets in the winter for extra coziness.

Turn heating down to 16 at night, but was even advised by the geo-thermal engineer not to turn it down at all but open a window intstead. Hhmmm, then the snow plows would wake me up at 5 am - i dont think so!!!

Re: How do you sleep at night???
 

Could be, it did mention something about reducing the cycling rate. But surely it won't be cycling through the summer if it's turned off?

Re: How do you sleep at night???
 

I've also been converted to sheets with our new down duvet - and don't seem to get into the tangled mess that I anticipated :p

Heating turned off in bedroom permanently anyway
En-suite window open at every opportunity that windy Cochrane allows
Rest of house down to 16 at night, kicks back in at 7.15am up to 20.
Hubby currently complaining that house and en-suite freezing when he gets up at 6am - might have to compromise somewhere !! ;)

Oh, and on my side - thanks for asking ...

Re: How do you sleep at night???
 

I sleep with a hot woman. That isn't as good as it sounds except that, unlike other women, she isn't able to express disgust by pressing a frozen foot against my warm bits.

Re: How do you sleep at night???
 

Ah yes,that wonderful feeling of a carbuncle infested foot,with long uncut toe nails, and bunions,gently caressing your left testicle extracting the last bit of warmth left in your body.....Ahh the joys and bliss of mariage:rofl:

Re: How do you sleep at night???
 

My feet arn't like that;) What type of woman was you married to:eek::rofl:

Re: How do you sleep at night???
 

The female type:p:p

Re: How do you sleep at night???
 

If its off it wont be burning at all, so no condensate generated and no harm done.
