For real? |
It was low 40s outside yesterday morning when I got home from work. It was 62 inside. I wasn’t planning on turning the furnace on but then one of my cats sneezed so I turned on and set it for 65. Not minority enough! | |||

Go Vols! |
Yes. We keep the house cooler so when it started staying under 65 it was time. I don’t like cold weather but I have been looking forward to trying out the new furnace to make sure it works properly. This is the worst time of year for controlling humidity inside. | |||

Friday night... it got cold here. Almost as cold as the Cardinals bats... "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

The last few weeks it's been between 28 and 38 degrees in the morning, but warms up to upper 50s-low 60s during the day. The wood stove is our primary source of heat, but it would be way too much for now, so the baseboard electric heat is enough to take the chill off in the morning & evenings. ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

I keep my home at 70°F all year long. Usually during the summer months that means the system is set to "cool". However, the past few days have seen the temperature indoors fall below my comfort point and I've had to temporarily reset the system to "heat". So yes, I've "turned on my furnace" in a manner of speaking. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Here in Texas our natural furnace of hot sun and muggy weather usually stays on well into September, sometimes into late October. I usually don't turn on the heat until mid November. No one's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.- Mark Twain | |||

wood stove here, has been fired periodically over past several weeks, with short heat soft wood or kindling... moving to a few hard wood pieces now with a longer fire than 'just early AM' and 'just evening'. Temps lower 30s to lower 40s= a little fire; mid day temps upper 50s-lower 60s: no fire; **************~~~~~~~~~~ "I've been on this rock too long to bother with these liars any more." ~SIGforum advisor~ "When the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of change, then change will come."~~sigmonkey | |||

Yes in the mornings this past week, it's gotten pretty chilly and the house will get down to 60 degrees or so overnight. What's crazy is that the week prior to that it was like 95 degrees out and we had the AC on. | |||

chillin out |
45 degrees this morning, the coldest so far this year. The Quadrafire warmed things up just fine. We use the gas furnace very little since I'm retired and can build a fire just about any time it's needed.

Furnace? I don’t need no stinking furnace! | |||
|
| Thank you Very little  |
NO, but if it's any consolation the Nest report says the AC ran 25 hours less last month.... | |||

My new system turned the furnaces on for me a few days ago. ------- Trying to simplify my life... | |||

We heat with wood and solar. Furnace hasn't been turned on except to check for function in about 8 years. | |||

Maybe next month. Its still 80's outside, and I still sleep with a fan on at night. | |||

Yep, 2 days ago. When my feet are cold and my wife hides the blankets, I complain bitterly. Since I pay the gas and electric, she just turned it on. I'm old and can afford the minor charges. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

Wood stove in the basement has been going for three weeks now. Once we start a constant night/day freeze(anything 32 degrees and lower), then I will turn on the furnace. Wood will keep going the entire winter, but the furnace is used for the main floor when it is colder. Thermostat is set at 65. Sigs P-220, P-226 9mm, & P-230SL (CCW) | |||
