My husband and I moved a few states north last year, and we are still getting used to our new home.
We moved in the middle of July, so it was still warm outside at that time.
Towards the end of September, it started getting quite chilly, and we ended up turning our furnace on the first week of October. It was the first time that we had turned the furnace on since living there, and we were very surprised at how well it heats the house. The house gets too warm for me though. Even though the thermostat is only set to seventy degrees, it gets much warmer, and we cannot figure out why. I actually called the previous home owners the other day, and I asked them if the furnace had done the same thing when they lived there. They told me that the house was always nice and warm, but they never checked the thermostat to make sure that it was the correct temperature. They are an older couple so they liked the house to be super warm. It was definitely a blessing to them. I just wish we would have known before buying the house that there was something wrong with the furnace or thermostat. My husband told me about two months ago that he would call an HVAC company, but he just keeps forgetting. I decided that I would just call myself, but I could not get ahold of anyone. I am going to try again tomorrow because I am so sick of the house being so hot. We are having a lot of family over next week, and that will make it even warmer in the house which is not okay.
