  • Central heat

    It's October 27 and we haven't turned ours on yet! It's getting borderline...it's 64 degrees upstairs...but at this point I think we'll hold on at least another day from sheer stubbornness.

    Anyone else in a mild climate and/or sticking it out just because you're not ready to pay heating bills yet?

    Nope DH is a bear to wake if it's too cold in the house. We've had the heat on at night for a while.

        Uh, not here. Lows have been in the 30s the past few nights, I've had to turn the heat on just to keep the temp at 65 at night!

          We've had it on a few days. Not at night yet. (We're also not in a mild climate - at least not what I would consider mild).

          But apparently my thermostat thinks it's summer today. (I think it's just the light).

              Off and on. I've turned it on a few times when the inside temp has dipped below 62 or so, but it's not on permanently yet. I still need to insulate the windows... talk about one of my least favorite jobs. I've told DH that the first major improvement we make on any house we own will have to be good windows, if they're not already, plus insulating curtains. Assuming we live in a cold climate. Ten plus years of this drafty rental shit and I am just DONE with it.

                If it's an old house - buy one with new windows. I cannot believe the prices I hear for new windows in old houses. Insane!!! Like you could buy another house for the price of the windows.

                  We're still having to switch between A/C and heat - at night it's really chilly, but we're still solidly in the mid-70s during the day. When the sun circles around our building in the late afternoon and hits the back of our apartment, it can get really toasty. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 81.

                      No heat, I'm still sweating everyday here! This past weekend was in the 90's. Usually this time of year we're in the blissful place of no heat or air, but I'm still having to turn the AC on occasionally to cool down the house.

                          I had it on a few times with cold snaps but generally I have the a/c on still. It was 88 yesterday. Should be cooling down to a high of 70 later this week.

                            Ha nope still in the land of a/c down here. I think it got down to 68 inside one morning a week or two ago during a little "cold snap" but it'll still be a while before I can switch on the heat.

                              We've run our heat one day so far this fall. Mostly it's still in the 80s. Cools down overnight, but the house has been holding the inside temp pretty steady without turning on the heat.
