The last few days have been cool, and yesterday was not very warm. The house cooled off into the mid 60's. I have the programmable thermostat set at 65° for the days, and for sleeping, and 69° for the evenings and early morning. Often, on weekends, I pump it up. Haiku likes it warmer, and will spend a lot of time sitting on me when the house cools off, as she did this weekend.
Yesterday, the house was not uncomfortable, but may have become so as time passed. However, I did turn the heater on. Mostly, I wanted to be able to be present the first time it worked this year. It smelled like burning dust, which it always does when I first turn it on (I have not had the ducts cleaned.) Sake was up and concerned, sniffing. She checked out the kitchen, which is where a lot of the burn smells come from (I am sometimes distracted while cooking, and burn stuff.)
The heater appeared to be in good working order, for which I am glad. If it needed work, now is the time to call, before the weather gets freezing cold and the house is uncomfortable without the heater.
