We had the same deal when we first moved in. We keep it at 60 when we're not home and at night, and then around 66 when we are home (which honestly isn't that often!) <br /><br />Also, re: the lock, my dad is a builder and he refuses to put those kinds of locks in esp. if your door is 1/2 windows - thiefs can break the glass, reach in to turn the lock and voila, the deadbolt is free. If it's a full door, this is not a concern, but if any glass around the lock you may want to reconsider. <br /><br />Best of luck!!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12450164195857641131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19977292.post-2996445983547146742007-01-24T17:42:00.000-06:002007-01-24T17:42:00.000-06:00Heat pumps are evil.

They must have been invented by a secret cabal of power company executives.<br /><br />In a climate where the weather rarely stays too cold for long, you shouldn't be in too much trouble. But here in PA, heat pumps were really in vogue in mid- to late-80s construction. And then people started getting their electric bills in the winter months. They revolted. They caught some contractors, strapped to furnaces, beat them senseless, and then sacrificed them to the gods of sun and high temperatures. And no one ever spoke of it again.<br /><br />Until now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19977292.post-81515312293299020422007-01-24T16:08:00.000-06:002007-01-24T16:08:00.000-06:00and that is why i don't own a house...
