Default Re: When do you plan to turn on the heat?

I figure if this year is like last year, we'll turn it on for one day in February.

Now, the A/C will run into November, especially considering we don't have screens on our windows and our landlady isn't getting the need for them (people down here don't leave windows open, they're afraid of roving gangs from Mexico or something).

I live in So. California. I'm hoping not until December and than it will be supplemented with wood in the fireplace.

I always try to add an extra layer of clothing before turning any heating on/up. It saves money and saves an awful lot of energy too.

We've turned it "on" to 55*F. Just so we don't forget. It was 30*F outside. In the higher elevations around here they got 2" of snow. :S

Well I caved and turned it on over the weekend. It has been damp and cold around here lately.

Me, too. It's been rainy and in the 50s and I just couldn't take it anymore. My nose kept running, so it was time to turn on the heat.

Well, I live in an apartment, and last winter we must have lived above and next to people who cranked their heat up nonstop because we didn't have to use ours very often. This year seems different though. It's in the low 30's outside and about 55 degrees in here, and i'm scared my fiance won't allow us to go much longer without heat, lol.
