Not really. It doesn't get down to absolute zero, at least in my
neighborhood.
CY: I don't care if it gets to absoloute zero or not. The actual temp is
from absolsoute up.


You are concerned with the heat flow out of your house. Heat flow is
proportional to the DIFFERENCE in termperatures, inside and outside.
And it's inversely proportional to the R-factor of the walls.
CY: I think I said the first half of that already.


In a previous house I wired an old electric alarm clock across the
circulator pump so I could measure how much the system was producing
heat for the house. The result was that only loose correlation with
the degree-days. Wind seemed to have a much bigger effect.
CY: Now, that is interesting.
