Trying to figure out heat...does this make sense?
So for the past few years, I would keep the thero at 68 during the day
while I am at work, then to 70 when I am home. With the increase in oil cost and more inefficiency in my heating system (I am working on it), I am needing to put the thermo to 72 degrees when I am home to be comfortable. Here is a formula: Old way: 10 hours @ 68 degrees = 680 14 hours @ 70 degrees = 980 Total of hours x degrees = 1660 New way: 10 hours @ 65 degrees = 650 14 hours @ 72 degrees = 1008 Total of hours x degrees = 1658 Does heat work that way, or does it take more juice to get to 72 degrees instead of 70? Feel free to tell my how foolish my heat calculation is. Bluesman |
