Stop in for a cup of coffee

Its crazy that we're having to run some heat this time of year. Even though I keep things a bit cooler than that, I kicked the furnace on last night to get ahead of the drop in temps.

I try to maintain the thermal mass of the house at a constant temperature year round. It is the most efficient way to heat/cool the house and saves me $$ overall. I don’t care if I need to run the heat in May or the AC in March. Keeping the thermal mass constant is the goal.

The mass of the surfaces, structure and objects in the house far exceeds the air mass. Keeping them at a constant temperature is where the focus is...the air temp will follow.
