I stepped outside just to feel it and scurried right back inside. I have my heat cranking and it’s still only 65 in my house. I can’t decide if it’s a problem or just an old house thing and it’s just going to suck today.

Same issue. Woke up this AM and my house was 60°.

Same! I know my heat is working, but my house is 100 years old so I think it’s just going to be like this today.

Over the summer we had an energy assessment, everything fully sealed and extra insulation added, all the heaters checked and up to date, everything. My house is still sitting at 63 while being set at 72. I think the heaters just can’t keep up with the cold. It is slowly getting better as the day is heating up though

Yeah, it’s starting to improve in my house, too. The afternoon sun is helping a bit! Luckily just one day of this.

Same thing here!

Sign up for a RISE energy assessment. They can advise you where you may need more insulation or other improvements, and they give you big discounts on the work. Huge improvements for my house!

Same here. Heating just can’t keep up.
