Excam_ManHave you turned on your heat?
I was holding out, but tonight is the night.
Just now turned on the heat.

Skull LeaderOne day it's heat and the next it's AC. Montana has some big temp swings this time of year.

cee_KampWe have run heat five times so far this fall.
This week, I have hauled three tons of premium hardwood pellets home from the store.
50 bags at 40 pounds per bag on a pallet for one ton.
We can practically store three tons here at home.
Two more tons are at the store and are paid for.
Just waiting for space later in the heating season as we use them.
One tank and a partial of fuel oil is about the same money as five tons of pellets.
IF we were still heating with fuel oil only, we would use about five tanks of fuel oil for the entire fall-winter-spring heating season.
Fuel oil was twice as expensive this summer compared to last year.
The pellet stove will have paid for itself in 1.5 heating seasons.
When the better half suggested a pellet stove in the spring of 2021, I resisted.
It has turned out to be a very wise decision.
She reminds me about the pellet stove decision occasionally.
My computer I use during the day for browsing SIG Forum is about five feet from the pellet stove. Normal winter attire for me if I have no reason to go out and about is shorts and a t-shirt. The females in the house prefer the indoor temperature at 75 F° or so.
We would be significantly poorer if we were heating with fuel oil this year.
The one full tank of fuel oil we did buy will heat our domestic hot water for a year.
We use propane for our clothes dryer and the hard line plumbed gas grill.

Burning pellets for 27-years here------just cleaned out the flue and got everything ready last weekend........lit it off 2-3 evening this last week.
I burn +/- 4-tons a season----------amazed when I think back to those $140/ton days (hovering ~$300/T this season). Annoying because oil/gas/electric rates go up of course---but pellets mostly increase because they can when suppliers see other energy increase and know people will spend more to "save" over other sources.

r0gueMore than a month ago. And for a while, the heat at night and the AC in the day. Western PA.
It's 38 degrees out. And it's been colder than that already.

BassamaticNope.

Patrick-SP2022Not yet.
I've been in the NW Houston area for the past 15 years and try to hold out until Thanksgiving before turning the heat on.
Although there are some days where AC is required in December.

gjgalligan30* outside at the moment, 61* inside. Suppose to go to 55* with some sunshine today.
Maybe next week we will turn it on.

bronicabillNone in the house yet here in N. Alabama, but did turn on a bit of heat in the car a few mornings ago when on an early breakfast run.

joatmonvTurned mine on earlier this week here in N.E. Ohio.
65 degrees while I'm home and 62 when I'm at work. It'll get turned up once it's really cold but for now, this works.
I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

Fredward30 degrees this morning, so yes.

nhracecraftNope, I'm holding out until Halloween!
