Weather Station History : Weather Underground
The average temperature since midnight was 9.2 degrees F.

We used the Hybrid mode (oil heat in free-flow) since last night, so the Sanyo only used 2.8 kWh.
This morning at 7AM, when I set the thermostat warmer (from 66 to 68), the unit
went into a 10 minute defrost mode (flashing LED) and then started pumping out
the heat.

Edit:
After defrost mode ran, and the Sanyo seemed to be putting out some heat.
I was out of the house for a few hours, so I set the thermostat down to 66 F.
Leaving the oil heat in free-flow. Upon my return, the Sanyo didn't respond
to calls for heat. It's only drawing 700 watts peak, so it seems like the
compressor isn't turning over. Time to trouble shoot..
