Was it you that posted a while back about warming it to a higher temp in winter than you cool it to in Summer? Still don't get that.....if it was 80 inside in winter I'd be wanting to open windows and doors:lol:
Mrs P and I aim for a "positive difference" between summer and winter thermostat settings of about 14°F +/-..... winter low 60's, summer upper 70's. This manages to keep our gas and electric bills to an aggregate average of about $150, with winter and summer peaks of about $200-$220. With mild weather in the spring and autumn we usually get 2-3 months (sometimes split across billing periods) of neither heating nor cooling and aggregate gas and electric bills of about $60. For a 2,800 sqft house we consider this to be pretty good. :) |

Yes, that was her! A few months ago she also reported having the heat on downstairs while the AC was on upstairs. :confused:

Re: Anyone experiencing the extreme cold?
I think the heat may have clicked on last night, I had it set to 60°F, so it got a bit chilly inside, nothing that a t-shirt under a sweater wouldn't solve.
The other half was complaining this morning, so I told her to get baking, let the oven warm the house. Lo and behold, banana walnut loaf is on it's way. |

[Union Jack onesie] These are more de rigueur in my neck of the woods, though I have always discounted buying any because I don't have time for home distilling, keeping goats or playing the banjo. :rofl: http://www.umidirect.com/Images/prod...702_290933.jpg |

What a crazy weather pattern.
I'm sitting here on my patio in shorts and a t-shirt sipping iced tea. I'd rather sit in a freezing tundra anyday, than sit in a crap-hole like Los Angeles. |
