IMO heat being 50 is perfectly fine for working. If I am working on something less physical I might opt to turn on a space heater and heat my small area more. I know other would prefer warmer temps and that is fine.
A programmable thermostat set to run from 4 till 8 is SO much better than running it all the time. The thing is as we build membership we WILL be running the heater more. Unfortunately we are heating empty spaces 16 hours a day. <insert sad panda> On Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 1:00 PM, Byron Moran <[email protected]> wrote: > The idea of a programmable thermostat is that it warms it up for you > before you arrive.
