I live in NE Nebraska, -26 last night. I have a air source heat pump, but I also have an efficient wood stove in my basement. Below about 30 I switch to auxiliary electric heat, but it seldom runs, we heat with the wood stove. Two good weekends working on fire wood and I am set for the season. It sure is nice to have a 'slave' (14 year-old Grandson) to help, makes everything go quicker and more fun! Today we had our first ever 'rolling blackout', because of the wide spread extreme cold. We have another 2 days of this and our temps will moderate to more seasonable. AMEN!!!!
