It's a VT subreddit so, as you can assume, I'm in VT. Same temp as anyone else in this state. I don't have a battery, and haven't done much research on them, but I was always under the impression they were like a generator and only used when you lose power. I'd love to be educated if I am wrong about that.

And, I do still have my forced hot air furnace in the house but am actively looking to get that and the oil tank removed.
