No wonder the house is so cold

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169487) • United States 19 Mar 25

First off, we have 35-40 mph winds blowing out of the west, with gusts up to 75 mph. Also, when we started having good weather I turned the thermostat down. It was so low it was not kicking in. Add to those two things the fact...

Marsha @MarshaMusselman (38865) • Midland, Michigan 25 Jan 19

I took my car/van to be checked before it got very cold because it seems that the heater only works well when it's warmer out and not once it gets chilly. In the past, on the thirty degree days it seemed to warm up fairly quickly...
