I awoke at 6AM and watched those single digits slowly drifting downwards.
Clicked the Sanyos down from 20 to 19C, just to be safe.
It got down to 6.9°F and the house was still 19 to 20C.
Once it started back up (sun came up at 7:08 AM) I started cranking
the heat back up towards 21C..
It's going to top out around 29F today, so it looks like another good day for NStar..
(And the oil companies)!
Anyways, the good news is, no back-up was needed last night.
The house stayed at the selected setpoints just fine..
During the last 9 hours (since midnight), we've burned up 15.6 kWh ($2.52).
Not too bad considering how cold it was. (since midnight).
High 16.2 °F
Low 6.9 °F
Ave 11.7 °F
