Reply to comment by WeatherInRI in The cold will go on: Local man breaks personal record keeping heat off by WeatherInRI

We still haven’t turned our heat on. We both run warm, and the temps in our place haven’t gone below the low- to mid-60s. Once it hits 59, I call it and turn the heat on, though. No need to be uncomfortable.

How does it stay that warm without heat? Do you have upstairs neighbors?

We live in a three family that was gut remodeled before we moved in back in 2019, so it has decent insulation. Plus the upstairs and downstairs neighbors sharing what physics insists they must. And my wife loves to cook, so the stove or oven is running at least a few minutes every day, and that releases ambient heat.
