All,


Last night, the temp here in Iowa dipped down to around -10 with a -35
degree windchill. *This morning I noticed the temp was about 4 degrees
off of where I had the thermostat set (It was set for 68, but the
heater was running continuously to keep it at 64). *Right now, the
temp has risen to about -5 and the heater is running continuously to
keep the house at about 66-67 degrees.


When you look at the windchill, I think this is probably one of the
coldest days since I moved in 2 years ago.. Does this sound normal, or
could there be an air flow problem? *The amount of hot air coming out
the vents seems to be normal compared to warmer days.


Thanks,
Dan- Hide quoted text -

Why?
