Mark I leave my heat set at one temp all winter, thermostat set at one temp all summer. I don't have and don't like smart theremostats. I never turn the heat off in any room, because cold walls can get wet, condensation, and form mold. The beauity of cheap resistance heat is there is no fans, no trunk line losses, rooms at desired temps, no chill factor like I've experienced in my boy's heat pump home.
I like my bedroom warmer, I keep my attached garage at 50 to melt snow. I even crack open casement windows in garage to vent. The electrical in workshop is attached to house along with 3 security lights.
My centeral takes care of every room. No room is shut off. Each room has at least two registers. One is return air. Most houses only have one or two air returns, I have at least one, sometimes two air returns in larger rooms.
My house is heated and cooled 24/7/365. I rarely open windows to let in humidity, pollen, air pollution.
I have a basement under the old half of house. I don't have to heat it in winter, pipes never freeze. In summer, there are air vents in trunk lines that cool basement to help dehumidifier keep humidity down. I shoot for 50%.
Mark, I don't get it, you never seem to believe anything I post. If you want proof of my electric bill, email me, I'll give you my address and Duke energy's phone #. Tell duke you plan to rent my house. They will give you my average electric bill for the past 12 months. As a landlord, I do this all the time to give new tenants an average from previous tenants. If you go to vigo county home page, they have a place where if you put in a name, they will give you all the tax info, pics of place, footprint of all buildings, aireal pic. Put in my name and take a look see. George

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
