In all of these years in my old home I only had gravity heat until last November.

With the new a/c and heat and a programmable thermostat - I have been pretty cautious.

Someone who "knows" told me that it is better to turn the a/c on only when you feel you need it because it is far more efficient that way than leaving it on the timer.

I am waiting for my first electric bill to come in to see what damage I have caused.

However, my winter gas bill WENT DOWN................YAY! Nothing ever goes down does it? At least if it involves money it doesn't.
