I’ve been here almost two months, and have yet to get an electric bill. Because I’ve never had baseboard heating, I’ve kept my thermostats (one for each room) below the “comfort zone” marking because I don’t want any nasty surprises come February. Which is when they said the bill would come.
But I agree with you: you’d think 4WTC WOULD be able to do better. Because I was in a call center, I wore sweaters, legs warmers and had a space heater in the knee hole of the cubicle. I even went so far as to cut the fingertips off a pair of cheap knit gloves.
It wasn’t a perfect solution, but we were in a room with 30 massive desktop Compaq computers, thermostat set for 67°.
It’s 68 in my house.
Those old Intel CPUs put out so much heat that I suggested to the guys at Compaq (I was there when the 486 was a new chip) put heat-conducting pole to the box and put a coffee warmer plate on the outside. The coffee would have dissipated a lot of heat while staying at a nice warm drinking temperature.
Unfortunately, nobody took me seriously. I think it would have been much more useful than those noisy fans.
