Anyone turn on their heat yet?

StewieG · September 2010

I just got home and it is 64 degrees in this house...but it is so hard to imagine turning on the heat on September 16th. Aaauuugghhh

no but we've had our fireplace on a few times already.

No, we are holding out until at least Oct. Sweat shirts and blankets and a little cuddling are fine with me.

I'm stubborn and refuse to turn it on until October first. If needed, we'd use the fireplace, maybe. I like it cooler - it gives me a reason to curl in a hoodie and blanket!

No way! I am so cheap when it comes to the thermostat. I try to not turn the heat on until November 1st. I may have to turn it on sooner this year since I won't want Ellie getting cold.

Not quite. I wish the fireplace inspector would hurry up and give us the go-ahead so I can at least turn that on!!

No, but our house is very well-insulated. It has yet to drop below 73 degrees, and we've had windows open continuously.

My solution: layers and lots of hot tea

I am my own personal heater these days, so no need to turn it on yet.

No way! This is the best kind of weather for wide open windows, fresh air, no humidity and a sweater if you're cold.

We don't turn on heat until the temp in the house reaches a steady 58, then we only set the thermostat to 60 all winter long. Unless, the overnight temp dips below -15 then will turn it up to 65, but I usually get too hot.

The heat is on pretty much to keep the pipes from freezing. I love the cold!

I caved and turned it on today. My house got down to 62, and Big D said his big self was cold. Plus, we have unheated tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom, which makes everything feel colder. But I'm 5 hours north of y'all too. We have frost advisories this week.

Nope, we actually still have our windows open, we LOVE the cooler air!

rock-elle · September 2010

I still sleep with the window open!!! Big Smile

yes I am hardcore!

Janell's Nest · September 2010

Nope and the windows are still open

Baby I's Grobegg says its only 67 in the place so that's not too cool

pattymctatty · September 2010

Nope, not yet. But man, in the morning it makes me wish we had bought the house with heated floors in the bathrooms! I will have to add that to the to-do list for the house...

romarie · September 2010

heck no! I still sleep with my window open and fan on at night!

haha...me too! I had the window half open last night. I was laying there in shorts/tank top and was HOT. DH had on flannel pants, tshirt, socks and was under 2 blankets almost shivering. I told him to suck it up or go in the other room. Angry

Lauree1183 · September 2010

Nope. We like our house cold. Probably won't turn it on until the end of October when it's really chilly.

I also am a paranoid person and don't like to sleep with the windows open, so if it's too warm in the house we even turn the air on at night still...

ercsa29 · September 2010

No way! It's only 64* in our house. The windows and doors are still open and I have been sleeping with the ceiling fan on at night. During the day I just put a blanket and a dog on me and I'm sweating!

I love having the fresh air so it will be awhile before we turn on the heat.
