No but DH just lit the wood stove in the den and we had the wood stove on in Maine. We just got back as it was 32 last night and I'm not ready for that. lol

It's still quite warm in my area; it's actually just starting to become comfortable after the summer heat. We won't be using any heat until sometime in October when the fall rains start - something I am very much looking forward to happening.

No, but I turned on the foot-warming pad on my mattress last night. And closed two of the bedroom windows.

No way, not until December lol. It is suppose to get up to 108 the next few days. ugh.

My landlady (who is out of town more than she is in town) controls the heat and she turned it on weeks ago!! But she is in her mid 80's and feels the chill easily. To be honest, I felt it was too early and too warm but I just left my door open to compensate :-)

But for the last couple of weeks it has been much cooler, very much like the start of fall and especially at night, so the warmth of the heater early in the morning (and occasionally at night) has been welcome. And I do live in the lower level MIL unit and in the woods so my unit is always a bit cool. And I do have a gas fireplace I can turn on when I wish to warm things up.

Bedroom windows are always open, year round! Need that fresh air more than I need warmth when sleeping. That's what down comforters are for :-))

Nope. Outside it was down to 73 when I got up this morning, back into the low 90s again during the day. All five ceiling fans going all the time.

I was wondering about doing it. To see if it is working but also because some years when I first turn it on there is what I all "furnace smell". If it try it now I can have it repaired. If there is a smell the doors and windows are opened to lessen it. Some years there is no smell other ones it has been strong.

Oh goodness no. It's still Texas out there!

Ha, no. Ask again in, oh, November.

In the low 50's to high 40's here at night and I'd be surprised if it hit 65F today. And some parts of the country have already experienced a light frost...........it is NOT still summer everywhere !

Then again, this is an area that one seldom, ever, sees inhouse air conditioning :-) It just never gets hot enough to justify. Cars, yes....houses, very uncommon!!

Just a few days ago, we were melting from the heat...it was terribly hot. So hot, the dog was mad at me because it was so hot outside as if it was my fault...HEEHEE! Now if it would stop raining, we could enjoy the cooler temps. It's been raining solid since yesterday morning and has not stopped at all.

Nope, this is the first day it hasn't been in the 90's. That is only because it is finally cloudy and might rain. (I hope so!)

Oh no, haven’t even thought about it yet. Still in the 90’s with humidity here in north Alabama, so we won’t need the heat pump until maybe late November if we’re lucky. Maybe December. We are getting some much needed rain today which will cool things a few degrees.

You're kidding, right? It's cool right now (64) due to huge thunderstorm/cold front that came in last night, but it's to be in the high 80's by the end of the week. And then there is the humidity...

So after breaking a heat record two days ago ...96... last night it was almost in the 40's at 51. Now it's 54 and raining steadily and I will never turn the heat on for months. I opened my windows last night for the first time since June and didn't use the bedroom window AC much lest the central AC. Finally briefly cool after a gazillion 90 degree days and I can't walk because of the rain.

Heavens NO! But it is cool out right now, 68 degrees, and we have our windows open for the first time since about April.

YIPPEE!

Moni

Well, at 54* I will turn on the heat, or rather it will turn its' self on. We have a smart thermostat and it is set at 76* for cool and 72* for heat during the day and 68* for heat at night during the winter. Every now and then one of us has a chill or a hot flash and messes with the setting, but most of the time we leave it alone.

Not yet. There was a damp nip in the air last night if you were outside...warming up and an absolutely beautiful day today with blessed sunshine...something we have not had much for over a week. Back up in the 80’s all week.

This house doesn't have a furnace. :0) Radiant heat flooring....and not yet. It's never below 68f in the house so far.

AC still going 24 hours.

I wish. Still running AC here!

It's been raining here for the last 2 weeks.... or so it seems. We've had about 9" +. It's been so humid, I've been cranking down the a/c!

TODAY the sun is shining!! And it's only about 60F outside. I've opened up windows to let in some fresh air.

NO HEAT for me!!!

Not yet, but I did pull the comforter over me this morning. And I've been wearing a sweater all day. It's a chilly, rainy day.

We have cooled off nicely these last couple of days and it’s only been as low as 52F overnight. After the heat and humidity we have had lately, we love the cooler temps and sleep under a light quilt with the windows open. It’s supposed to warm back up this week. We probably won’t turn the furnace on until later in October or whenever it gets significantly cooler.

It was cool today, 14°C (57F), and is cool in the apartment. The heat doesn't get turned on in the building till Oct though. Overnight was down to 8C, I love having the comforter on and window open. The window is open year round, even in the winter, except when it's frozen and won't open.

Roxie thought it was cold in the bedroom. She's the lump beside Bud.

No, did put an extra blanket on though. I'm always cold but I just put on heavier clothes. I love the in between seasons. No furnace, no air.

Some years ago, in mid-October (you'll see in a minute why I remember the approximate date) we took a trip to visit a couple we'd met in a warmer region after they'd returned to their home town in, let's say, a part of the country known for cold winters. The temperatures took a downward turn the weekend we were visiting, highs in the low 40s, lows in the low 30s. We got in Friday evening but didn't really have a chance for much conversation until the next morning. Over breakfast, they told us that the timing of our visit was particularly lucky because they'd had much warmer than usual weather that October. I said something like "since you mentioned it, forgive me for saying this, but we're both quite cold, is your heat working?" The response was "we normally don't turn it on until November 1 unless we get an early snow", to which I laughed and said something like "Maybe you can make an exception for us? Please understand this is colder weather than we normally have at home on the coldest day of the winter. While it may be warm for you, it's not for us." They accepted it with good humor and put on the heat. Thank goodness.

Sorry for the long story in response to Jasdip's comment in passing - I know some people and some circumstances use the calendar to determine when the heat gets turned on. I've heard of the same thing in apartment buildings in NYC. It makes no sense to me to ignore the outdoor/indoor temperatures (which may be warmer or colder than expected) and to refer to the calendar instead. But I know it's not uncommon.

Hell no. It's miserably hot still!! AC is full blast!

It is mid-high 50s here today, and like for Arkansas Girl, has been raining almost non-stop since about 1 AM yesterday. But it is much lighter now, allowing the water to start draining in the back yard. Last night I got a blanket out, but it will have to be much colder before I turn the heat on.

Mid-week it's going to warm up again, to the mid-to-high 20's C. The humidity will come in again as well. I'm currently sitting in the lazy-boy with long pants, slippers and a flannel shirt. Cup of tea and a cat across my lap and laptop. Comfy.

My furnace was set at 67 but it has been chilly in the mornings so I turned it up to 69 so it would run. Supposed to get back to 80 later this week but then drop back to the 60's.

Boy, I'm really getting tired of the rain! Looks like it will rain all night and into tomorrow afternoon. So far, looks like about 5" of rain since yesterday. My husband and I are both kind of cold natured and don't like it below 70 in the house. I know that some people enjoy the cold inside the house but it's not for us! :)

Not yet. I like that my new furnace has an off and on switch on the thermostat, my old one didn't and would come on its own if I didn't have the dial set lower. I enjoyed going to bed last night because it was windy out, I had my windows open and my fan on. I did have flannel sheets on my bed but no duvet so I woke up around 4 am and had to grab a throw blanket to get warm. Chilly in the house this afternoon so I put the same throw blanket over my shoulders for a bit.

No, but I did have DH build a fire in the fireplace Saturday to warm up the house a bit.

It's 50 degrees at 6am here and the house was cold when I got up, so yes, I just turned the heat on to warm things up. I hate being cold. I will turn it off again before too long, though. Our dog loves the cooler weather, so I'm happy for her at least.

Great reminder, it's time to schedule the yearly furnace check before using it. Also check your fuel levels if you have a tank. That furnace smell is burning dust.

Not yet...it's getting chillier in the house, but we'll need to get used to the colder temps again as winter is coming. I'm already telling DH to put a sweater on.

I know that in the fall when it hits 50 it feels soooo cold...but in the spring, when it hits 50, we're ready to break out our shorts! That's just part of adjusting to seasonal changes. I always like the warm up, but I really dislike the cool down. Especially now at the end of summer, if the temp drops below 77 we start to feel chilled...it's a long way to go to get used to temps in the 20s!

I'm in the "it's finally cooler!" group. What I do this time of year is, cool down the house before I go to bed, and set the heat to go on if it dips lower than I think (like 65-68). It typically doesn't come on. I'm loving the cooler temps. And we got rain!!! I transplanted from 6:30AM-4PM on Saturday, and found two wasps nests. Ugh. I'm highly allergic and no son to help me with it. I may ask a neighbor.

Another indication my house is cooler - the butter in the butter dish isn't soft. Tears the bread when you try to spread it. : )

Turns out I may have to turn it on Thursday: they're predicting the S word. :(

Nope. Really pleasant weather here for the past few days - it was 58* at 6:30 am when I went for my morning walk, but the house was comfortably warm. Windows were open overnite and it was nice sleeping weather.

Supposed to warm to the mid-80’s later this week.

Our furnace is set to automatically 'heat' when the inside temp goes below 74 and 'cool' when the inside temp goes above 78. Sunday morning I was happy to hear it come on to heat before I got up.

I turned on my furnace this AM---right after I stepped into 3 inches of water in my carpeted game room. This happened previously in February and while I was still pondering a $10,000 estimate for foundation drainage. Wish I knew what to do or how to find someone who could tell me all my options. Any ideas?

Not yet, as I am not in control of it. I did sleep in my terrycloth bathrobe a couple times. It goes to the floor and is really thick. I was warm lol

Radiant heat is on in some zones (master bath, closet, and my office) but not all yet. We like a cool bedroom. We have had a fire in the fireplace in the great room a few particularly cool mornings.

We've had rain the last three days which is typical for this time of year and it didn't take long to cool off. We're back to long pants and jackets and umbrellas. I was tempted to turn on the furnace but refuse to do so until Thanksgiving. (Canadian which is second monday of October)

But right now it is clearing up, just in time for rain tomorrow and we'll be seesawing back and forth like this for the next month.

I had my furnace inspected today in preparation for cooler weather. I almost turned it on last night. The outside temperature fell to 54 F overnight. That's a far cry from two days prior when it was 90 F in the afternoon and 80 F at night. Fall was in the air today. Leaves have started to turn.

Most folks around here will be lucky if they have a refrigerator running in 3 days, much less their HVAC system.

I finally caved yesterday. It was only 18C inside my house. Even with my hoodie on, I was coooollldddd. It killed me to do it, but it had to be done. Just turning it on to 20C was enough to take the chill off.
