[quote=Anonymous]Heat pumps (which is what most of us have in this region) are most effective when the outside temps are in the 50's. So, when it gets as cold as it was in January, your heat pump is working very, very hard. I would suspect yours was running on auxiliary since you had the temp set so high. While I get it is a comfort factor (I want to be warm too!), it is necessary to lower the temp in the house when it is that cold and not make your heat pump work so hard. Other factors to consider: * how old is your heat pump? * when was it last serviced? * have you ever done an energy audit to see if you have deficits in your home? I know we did one on our house and we were essentially living in a gazebo.[/quote]
