Little things matter

Little things...like a thermostat...make a big difference. We'd assumed that our cold house had more to do with a lack of insulation and original, drafty 1926 windows than the thermostat. That is, until the furnace went out. Luckily Chris was able to diagnose and fix it (he is amazingly handy!), but we decided to get it serviced to be on the safe side. When we did we learned that the theromstat was about 10 degrees off...so when the heat kicked on, it assumed it was hot enough and shut it back off within a few minutes. We just got this fancy-shmancy modern, programable thermostat to replace our 1950's antique one and OH BOY are we toasty!
