[quote=Anonymous]We have an old house (1935). I did the best I could insulating the doors, windows, etc, but the house was built when they simply didn’t use insulation in the walls.  I set my thermostat to 68, yet it kept running and running over the last 2.5 weeks because it struggled to reach above 65.  I turned the thermostat down to 65 to reduce the stress on the HVAC, and it was able hold 65.  I wake up this morning to find the thermostat reading 62, which means our system cannot get our house above that due to the extreme cold.  I now have it turned down to 62 due to the same reason before.

Is anyone else's HVAC in a old home struggling immensely in this cold weather? Ughhh.  I cannot stand this weather anymore. Thank god it is supposed to get up to 50 this week.  I dont think the HVAC system is inappropriately sized for our house, it is just the fact we don't have any insulation.  Our system can handle it when temps are above 35-40, but this 8 degree weather is destroying us.[/quote]
