Wondering who has yet to turn on their heat? We have been building fires in the wood stove but haven't turned on the heat just yet. I went and pre- paid some propane this week and nearly fell over at how little $200 bought! We will be using our stove as much as possible this year.

OH yeah, our heat has been coming on now for well over a month! We keept the thermostat at 65º. We don't have a wood stove or anything else so this is our only source of heating. We heat with fuel oil.

Oh yeah...our heat has been on for about a month now...I wish we had a stove--maybe someday! :)

No heat yet here, but that's no surprise. LOL Maybe by the end of Jan. or beginning of Feb.

Yep my heats on.........cause DDIL gets cold and turns it up to 80

and then I have to go behind her and turn it down. She still dresses like its summer:bang:

We turn it on at night and turn it off when we get up in the morning. I can't stand being cold, even DH stay's cold in the wintertime. We had a cold rain last night and a cold wind yesterday and of course Thankgiving we had flurries so the heat has been on alot this week.

Yup it's on!

We had the woodstove(s) going, but haven't had to turn on the heat yet. After paying for 500 gallons of oil this summer (ouch!), I'm determined to hold off as along as possible.

Our heat is on too, but you wouldn't know it to walk in my house. I keep it down so low, 62-65, trying to save on the electric bill. We own lots of blankies and sweats......LOL!!!

Yea, our heat is on. Have fires in both fireplaces to keep the gas bill down. The paper reported that we can expect a 19% increase in gas prices this year.:mad:

I am in So. California and it has been unusually cold here for the last week or so.......in the lower 30's when I take the kids to school in the morning......ice on the car......cold!!!!!! This is the first year in many that we have had the heat on this early.......I am usually able to wait until January! I only turn it on to take off the chill in the morning and then a little in the evening when we are all home!

We had some unusually cold weather for this time of year the last couple of nights. It was 61 in the house when I got up this morning, but we haven't turned on the heat yet! We piled the beds with all the blankets/quilts we have last night (it got down to around 35 here last night) and did just fine. We're bundled up inside the house and doing okay. We're supposed to warm up to the upper 60's today with a low tonight in the low 50's and it should continue on that trend for the next few days (or so the forecast says).

Yep, heat is on....55 when we are not home, and 62 when we are home! Trying to save as much as possible on the bills!

Our heats been on for about 2 months now. I am keeping it at 67 most of the time though. The poor dog is freezing to death. Dh complains occaissionally but I just throw him a blanket. :laugh:

We only have eletric heating, so we have turned ours on a few times at night only. I would love a fireplace or a wood burning stove to save electricity, but will have to settle with what I have.

Yep, my heat has been on for a couple months now. During the day I keep it about 72* & then at night or when I leave I turn it down to 65*. Right now it's only 43* here so it's cold.

Propane is bought during summer when the prices are down.
We pay about 1.09 a gal.
The wood hubby gets free for the cutting.
So needless to say, we use the woodstove a LOT.
It does heat the whole house of 1200 ft.
Our stove is gas converted to propane.
We keep the heat at 60 at night and 68 for an hour in the morning when we get up till we make a fire.
Hubby said the electric bill last month was around $75.
So it really helps big time to have the wood.
About a week ago we had wind chills in the minus 20's and it was in the toasty 70's in here.
We insulated well and used the styrofoam under the siding when we remodeled.

Yes, it has been on for the last few months. Dh freezes easily(blood thinners) so we keep it on 67 during the day and 63 at night. This new house is much drafter than our old one. I would like to replace the windows but it is still on the want list. cau:cool:

We were actually able to turn the heat off for about a week! Jan. 2, no heat on now.
