I left work at 5:00PM and it was 24 degrees. It took me 48 minutes to get home.
It usually takes me an hour. |

My dishwasher has a delay feature that allows 2,4, or 6 hours before starting, I have it set so it will wash the dishes at 4:30 AM which will be my automated faucet run.

Finally got above -10 yesterday and they opened the car wash. Had a bunch of ice buildup on my rims that was throwing off tire balance and caused a tpms warning light. All better now.

Well, made it through the night, still alive, pipes still OK, even though it's still below freezing. Tonight will be the real test. It will be even colder, and we won't have the benefit of residual warmth to keep pipes from bursting.
It's sunny, but windy, now, so in terms of trying to thaw out, that's probably a push, even if we make it above freezing today. |

Are you willing to be mildly inconvenienced by having the downstairs colder than the upstairs in the evening before you go upstairs to bed? In any event, hopefully this all wraps up by Thursday, so I doubt you're going to wreck your heaters in this short amount of time no matter what you do. Think about Houston.....our a/c's get punished for much of the year....rode hard, put away wet. Our heaters, on the other hand. are all low miles, one owner, rarely driven in the rain. |

Downside: More expensive up front, twice as much stuff to go wrong Upside: If one unit fails, the homeowner at least has the other one to limp along with while repairs are effected on the non functioning system. It's also commonplace for larger one stories to have two or more units. |

Over the last 24hrs my 5 ton downstairs furnace ran 10.46hrs while my upstairs 3 ton ran 1.87hrs. After the 2021 freeze we added the generator and removed the blown in insulation and replaced with spray foam. |
