But we only have a heater in the living room.
And it is CREEPY.
Except for the person-sized gas wall units we had when I was wee (I have no idea if they blew. I remembed warming my feet on them) I've always had forced air gas heat. Boilers and radiators and scary-ass ovens in the floor kinda freak me out. Electric, less so, but still weird!
Summer = 75ish (window units on thermostats) turned off during most days.
Winter - no idea, I have zero control. it is hot in the middle of the furnaces ON cycle and it is cold right before they kick on. I know I feel cold with anything below 70.
Being a spiritual yeti, I like to leave the heat off during waking hours and just turn a space heater on near me if it's too cold. I'll break down and turn on central heat if the inside air temperature drops below about 55°. At night I turn the heat up to around 65°-66°.
Just reading about how cold you guys keep your houses makes me feel cold.

You and me both, Dana.
Being extremely warm-natured works well for me in the cold months, I spend almost nothing on heat. When it's above about 78° (which is maybe 9 months of the year here) my love for tall ceilings and big windows bites me in the ass with very high AC bills.
Could you work-warning that?
There is no way that having the furnace dude at your house for 2 hours can be good. He was just supposed to be inspecting it. I suspect he found a problem.
Dana, I can lesson you in the Ways of Cold Blood. There are down booties. There are cashmere layers. There are lap-blankets. And when all else fails, there is culinary ambition, to give you a reason to stand in front of your hot stove.
