As of 03/26/2010, the Sanyo has been repaired and is working well.
It's starting to get a little warmer now (44.6F on average) ,
so the average kWh is down to about 9kWh a day.
$1.80 a day isn't too bad for the amount of heat we are getting..
Most of the time, it's at 72F and we sleep with it set at 68 these days.
If it's too warm in the bedrooms, we just close the door to keep out the heat.
We are using a little more power at night, because we have started to leave
the den doors open 24-7. The den has a lot of glass (and heat loss),
but we find it gets used more if we keep it warmer. (Our best TV is in there)!
I have turned down the Aquastat on the boiler to it's summer hot water settings of 120F min & 140F max. (Less leakage cycling).
I hear it might get up into the
80s for the weekend.. So, I can do some AC mode testing..
The power log that I'm trying to keep up to date is at:

If were not for the floods in the basement, this would be a much more enjoyable spring..
