I have yet to turn my heat on. Now I do live in the tropics of LI and have had a few fires but no real heat. You?

When you live in the northernmost region of New York along the Canadian Border you're heat is on in late October at the very latest
- yep mine's been on for 3 weeks . but programmed at lower temps for various time settings than full winter programming. We also use the gas fp insert in the am to take the chill off

It pops on in the morning and the evening. I have to tweak the schedule a bit.

58? :blink: A little extreme me thinks. I guess I would get used to it, but my girls would all be shivering...
We've been foregoing using the gas fireplace. I can't imagine that's all that efficient. It is nice on cold nights though.

Ours drops to 60 at 9PM, kicks back on at 6AM to 67, drops to 64 at 10AM, kicks back on to 67 at 3PM. On rare occasion, I'll override it if it's needed.

That's pretty much how ours goes, but it only comes on for about 90 minutes on weekday mornings and we go 4 pm to 10 pm.

Since we're retired and no longer out of the house for extended periods of time everyday , Mine is 62 @11pm, 66 @ 8am and 67@ 4pm-- i either overide it as necessary or kill it in the early am or early evening with the gas fp as we choose
i love my gas fp . Winter settings go up a degree -- except when teh grandkids are here then its up 2 -3 degrees when it gets nasty out ( we usually get a week-10 days here where it can be -30 F in January)

I've been using the pellet stove. Crank it up when I get home from work and turn it off in the morning.

Our heat has been one a few times in the main part of the house...not the back or upstairs (bedrooms).
Like you guys, turned down when we exit in the AM...up when daughter gets home from school (if it's cold).
I've been too lazy (or busy...viewpoint thing) to bring in more wood from the pile. REALLY looking forward to getting that stove upgrade. 30 days from today!
