Today was gorgeous, and I refuse to turn on the heat until November. It’s a matter of Bushido with me! :-)
I was born and raised in new England, and am part Inuit! If I turned on the heat in September I would not be able to live with the shame. LOL!
I have always been the same way. Just won’t turn on the heat till November and no air conditioner till mid June.
Hubby snuck the air on early this year, and I felt like I was freezing when I’d go to the basement to get on the computer. Thought about getting out the heating pad, but didn’t want to use the electricity.
That dang bill goes up every year, and for the last 5 years, I’ve managed to reduce the useage. I hate to see what this years average will be.
In upstate NY the landlords aren’t required to turn the heat on until Nov. There may be an exception, but I can’t recall for certain.
About a week ago I woke up wondering what the noise I was hearing was - turned out to be the furnace. The thermostat was set at 68, BAH! We adjusted it down. Pretty chilly here the past few days, but I like it.
