Have You Turned Your Heater On Yet?

They raise us tough in the "frozen tundra" of Wisconsin!!
No need for heat for several weeks yet. I will still have windows open when its in the 50's.
And I wear shorts/T-shirt as long as I can. Of course a have nice down throws on the sofa to keep me warm if I need them.

Ours is set to come on at a certain temp, and I remember it coming on one evening, but nope, generally I have still had windows open, and even still used the A/C recently

It's a little chilly today but the windows are still open. It's supposed to be in the 30's again this week. Hopefully not, we took the air conditioner out yesterday.

Our heat hasn't been on yet. The few days its been cold, we just wore sweaters.

We still have the a/c on...a little too cold for my taste personally. I think the cats are getting sick.

The weather is perfect open-the-windows weather, but most of the screens on this house either have holes in them or are non existant.

I still turn on the A/C at night, so nope, no heat yet,lol. Its only dipping into the low 50's at night, so not really " COLD" yet.

Although it has been chilly here at night and during the day, I still have the central air on and the heating system off! Postponing that heating bill as long as I can!

It's been in the 80's + here recently- so no heat for us yet. I have noticed it's gotten to be a bit cooler lately though- so we will probably have to turn ours in the next few weeks

It's been in the 40s at night here, and I am FREEZING, but my stupid roomie keeps opening his window and leaving it open all night, so I can't put the heat on in the house yet. Ginger comes in to my room in the morning to give me kisses, and her coat is COLD!

At the office, they keep putting the AC on all day, despite the fact that it is only in the 60s outside. So here I sit with my hood on, with freezing air blasting down my back and my space heater blasting away at my feet!

SO stupid.

I didn't turn my A/C on all summer so I'm not planning on turning the heat on until I absolutely can't stand it- I have a living, purring blanket at night so that always keep me warm I only turn my heater up to 65 degrees anyway

Living in Florida (more specifically...Orlando, where there's no ocean to bring the chill in) I probably won't switch to heat until closer to December. It's really not cold here for long.

I can't tell you how much I wish I lived by the beach again though. I grew up in Ormond Beach with the ocean a bike ride away and I can't stand being stuck in the middle of the state. I swear, once Matt and I are both out of this master's program and ready to buy a house...we are OUT of Orlando and BACK to the beach!!!!

We still got the AC going! We'll turn it on when it gets too cold for Angel, the short haired kitty, or for hubby. Whichever comes first.

Heat!?? Are you crazy??

It has been getting rather chilly here in evenings but no way is the heat coming on!!

Oh not yet here..it was 23 degrees today!

Last week it got down into the mid 30's, so I turned the heat on that night. The next day or two it got up into the low 80's, so the air came back on. Usually the air is on until the end of October, but every now and then I'll turn the heat on if it gets cold enough at night.

You Minnesotan's simply have thick blood! 20's????

It's been down in the 40's here overnight but we still refuse to turn on the furnace. I guess when it gets consistently cold we'll do so, probably later this month.

the one in the truck yes several times

I've had it on (well the heatpump is set) but if it's warm enough it doesn't kick on.

2 nights ago I set the temp higher so it would kick on as there was a little storm coming through and cooled things off pretty good.

But other than that I keep it set to about 70 - Same that I have it set in the summer for the AC to kick on.

I am fighting against turning the heater on. I'm still paying for high electric from air conditioning! So I shut the windows early and hope it stays warm enough over night. I'm hoping to put it off as LONG as I can!

We turned our heating vent on about mid sept. over here on the pacific northwest. Granted, it's just on for about 15 minutes a day. But with the high for the next two weeks not exceeding 60, hey, what can I say?
