You’re absolutely spot on, things just take getting used to. I try and wait for as long as possible in the season until I get the heating on, this way it makes me be able to set it lower as anything seems a step up from freezing!

I liked the programmable thermostat. I would be nice if it automatically changes the temperature.

FYI…the down comforter is what we use, one for winter and then half of that is removed for summer. Works well.

Motivation to toughen up is up to everyone. Mine is that I can find many ways to spend $400.00 each month on fun things to do.

We keep the heat at 62 during the day and 55 at night. We are in North Carolina near the coast. The houses here are not built to keep air in. We did add insulation to our attic of our 1900 farm house but cannot add to the walls because of the construction. We are comfortable even though it has been 27 in the morning of late.

Being from Chicago , it took 3 years to acclimate to the heat. This year has been very cold. If you are spending any time at all outside this winter, better to be in a lower temp inside or your body suffers when you are outside.

If you are planning to remodel or constructing a new room, the use of the corner gas fire places would provide use of space that is usually neglected. This may be a wonderful way to introduce the ambiance, look and feel to a room that only a fireplace can.

Some great ideas. I really like the cuddling concept in the winter time.

Accessories like heated mattress pads can help too during the night. I used to leave my thermostat up quite high because I hate being cold at night, but buying a heated mattress pad (which was pretty cheap) means I can save quite a bit on my heating bills.

I found a site that will save on energy bills with very efficient heating and air systems and that also show how you can get a tax credit back from the government. This seems to make since and they show a free downloadable spread sheet showing your energy savings when you have high efficiency heating and air systems.

I too have just installed a programmable thermostat. I really like it and it was not expensive. I spent $30! I didn’t notice the savings immediately, but after a few months, I noticed I was savings a significant amount of money. They really are convenient. I have not tried the ceiling fan tip, but I think that I will especially if it helps to maintain the room temperature for longer. Thanks for all the great tips!

I try to keep the stat lowish but this winter we’re also burning wood which helps a lot to reduce the oil bill. Fortunately my brother-in-law gave me a truck load in exchange for some drywall work…

Saw this and was curious where mine was set. 68 in the evening (5-11pm), 65 during the day (9am-5pm), and 62 for bed time (11pm-5am). It is cold during the day, but otherwise we are fine.

I can not imagine 75 degrees without shorts!
