1/3 At what temperature do you set your heater? After last month's $140
PG&E bill, I lowered mine to 63 degrees and wear two sweatshirts around
the house.
\_ 78. $200 bill.
\_ 40
\_ Wear a wool cap. You lose a lot of heat from your head.
\_ spare us a lot of suffering, and just wear a bag over your head.
\_ Somewhere in the 70's. Just pay the $200 bills, geek boy.
\_ Issues of responsibility go beyond fiscal prudence. -tom
\_ buy fluorescent energy saving lightbulbs, they'll save u $$
\_ just turn off your heater entirely, that's more efficient than
leaving it slightly on.
\_ Indeed. My southern exposure apt is finally pleasant for once.
\_ Who uses a heater? Our apartment is heated by the four computers
and various assorted other electronic devices.
\_ 13 dollar electircity bill and a toasty warm apartment. Love
that central heating.
\_ $36 for electricity plus gas. Living in a house in Fremont,
central gas heater turned off, even the pilot light. Just wore a
coat and closed all windows.
\_ If you can move the water heater and the cloth dryer to inside the
house or at least re-direct the exhause pipes to pass through the
living space befoing going to the outside, the leaked heat should
warm up the house somewhat. But that's quite a bit of work to
do and I didn't do it. Plus you have to reverse it in summer.

\_ That's a really bright idea. The walls will be nice and damp
as an added bonus...
