Can the house stay above 70 degrees in these conditions?
Tonights the night to see if my set up passes it...
At 5 pm it was 14 F outside with winds up to 50 mph. I've just got home to stoke the hotblast in the basement so I don't have to listen to the fuel oil furnace(gasp!) anymore.
I'm curious to see if my drafty half old poorly insulated/half new heavily insulated 3000 sq. ft. ranch located in the wide open fields(think arctic tundra!) can stay above 70 without the fuel oil furnace kicking on.
In still conditions its no problem, but with these winds it will be tough even with the white oak rolling into the door every other hour. We'll see!
