Welcome to heating season!!!

[shilala]

It was 56 outside and 67 inside this morning. I've been relying on baking and big fish tank lights to keep me from freezing up till now, but they're no longer cutting it.
I relented and turned the heat on.
Who else has caved? Anyone as big a cold wussy as I am?

[rrplasencia]

no i think it's just you :ss throw some empty boxes into a fire pit

[neoflex]

I'm still running A/C:D

[jonumberone]

Sorry Scott, I love the cold.
67 might make me shut the ac, but I would still need a fan.

[joeobx]

Left the house in shorts to run by work.....was chilly, but no heat yet.

[14holestogie]

I (and the little woman, especially) are with you, Scott. Anytime it gets 68 or below in the house, the heat is gonna be kicking in.

Seems the comfort zone goes up a degree every heating season. I think we'll be at 74* this year. :)

There's an idea. :D

[Skywalker]

My window is wide open this morning, as I drink my coffee and prepare myself for a crappy day of work!!!

It must just be you, Cupcake!!!;)

and on another note, to make sure you are getting the best from your system, make sure your filters are clean and free flowing, and a HVAC duct cleaning can save you money in the long run, making your furnace more efficient, saving you dough for more cigars!

(and uh.. Lighters, and stuff... and er.. Rum.. and.. uh.. nice surprises for the wife, and... you get the idea.)

I have a boiler, so I just set the couch on fire. I did look under the cushions for stuff, first. Someone beat me to all the good stuff. :)

Yea, we're cooling off big time down here!

I made it to 74 last year, Tim. Lisa likes it at 68, or some ridiculous sh1t like that. I can't talk her into moving to Florida, either.
I'm gonna build myself a mobile sunlamp sippy cup hat and keep it full of hot coffee. :tu

Just become a damn snowbird. Than you'll both be happy.

Wayyy to early for that. I love the fall for the foliage, football, and days when you can leave the windows open and have a nice breeze.

:tpd: It's perfect "leave-the-windows-open" weather down here! :D

We had cool, pleasant weather last weekend - the first real harbinger of fall. Summer may have one or two weeks of heat left up it's sleeve but in my book Fall has already given Summer the middle finger and a big, fat "Get the F&*K out of my way!". :r

Can't wait for fall.

[Ashcan Bill]

HEATING!!!! :r :r :r

Yesterday was the first day in months it's cooled off enough here to open the windows up for a bit early in the morning.

Of course, I have to shut them again around 10am when the air kicks on. :D

[HK3-]

Still got the AC kicking everyday. Nice and cool for the morning walk but still short sleeve/ shorts weather down here. May have to turn the pool heater on soon since the nights are cool enough to drop the water temps.

[pektel]

The girlfriend turned on the heat yesterday.

Why is it that women need such a large differential from whatever temperature it is outside? In the winter, she needs the thermostat at 75. In the summer, she wants it at 65. WTF? Money down the effin drain.

[Goldie]

I hold out until my breath is steaming inside the house.

NO EXCEPTIONS!

[CigarNut]

If it hits 70 then the AC stays on. Below 68 and I turn on the heat. I have had to do that for a couple of days so far. Wishing for more AC days though :)

[Big_Ern]

I still sleep with 2 fans and want to run the A/C all the time. I live in Canada. if its up to me we will not turn on the heat until it snows. I tell the wife to just throw on a damn sweater.

[shilala]

Lisa and I ran away from the cold and hit Nashville, it's 55 degrees here. I turned the oven on to get some heat in here.
I can't win.
I'm gonna go to one of those brainwashers so I can no longer tell when it's cold. Or else I'm gonna go down and move in with Carlos. Cold sucks.

[CigarNut]

My wife turned off the A/C when I went to the Shilo yesterday morning to watch some football. I turned it back on when I got home :)

[kgoings]

Still over 100 here.. :(

[holli4pirating]

As I type, it is 58.5 in my room. I don't like the cold, but I'd rather throw on a sweatshirt than turn on the heat this early.

[Ashcan Bill]

Low eighties here today, with temps in the upper 70's predicted the rest of the week. Looks like I can finally shut the A/C off. :wo

[Mugen910]

Anyone got comments on home heating in regards to Gas vs Oil for a home?

Is there a huge price difference over all or will it just even out in the long run with price fluctuation?

[ucla695]

My AC's still on too. Although it's actually raining today. :)

[Lumpold]

If it's below 68F the heating is on. I've had the heating on for about a month now.

[markem]

47* here this morning. Won't be turning on the heat until Nov., most likely.

[357]

Been in the 40s/50s at night an highs in the 60s, so not yet. Trying to delay the inevitible as long as possible. Lucky I have options...

[HK3-]

AC is still on even though it's 68 in the house today. We have a cold front that rolled in a few days ago and has stuck around. May turn on the gas fire place to take the chill off for the wife.... But, still holding off on turning the heat on.
