So, I gave in and turned on the heat

And nothing happened. Nothing at all.

After sharing that the temperature has been between 58 and 64 in the apartment for days, I finally decided that it was time to bring the temperature up just a tad.

So, I switched the programmable thermostat to "heat" and confirmed that it was set for "Energy Star" programming.

Which keeps the heat at about 62 degrees. So, for the first hour that the heat was turned on, it didn't COME on.

Until just a moment ago. It will heat for a few minutes and then, it will shut off.

Why is it that people run their air conditioners until the temperature is below 70 in the summer, and then run their heaters until the temperature is above 75 in the winter?

The point I've been making is that a human can be quite comfortable between 62 and 70 degrees in the winter - you just have to THINK. Something most people refuse to engage in.
