What this week’s weather means for heating, cooling, pipes and fresh air.
Tonight’s low: 13°−11°
Overnight low of 13°F for 6+ hours — cold enough that pipes in unheated spaces can freeze. Let faucets on exterior walls drip overnight.
About 73% less heating than a typical week.
Heating degree days, base 65°F
47, 17 and 5°F are the test points heat pumps are rated at. About 6 hours are near freezing and damp, when outdoor units defrost more often.
