What this week’s weather means for heating, cooling, pipes and fresh air.
Tonight’s low: 25°−4°

About 68% 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 15 hours are near freezing and damp, when outdoor units defrost more often.
