damn!

i left the box fans in the windows last night running on medium. two blowing in, in the kitchen. two windows open in master bedroom.

last night it got down to 50ish.

my kitchen's thermometer says it's 55° and my bedroom is 60° :O

damn it's cold! hopefully it won't be 80° when i come home again....

BUT electrically wise, it's hella more efficient then the a/c. my kill-a-watt says I've used 1.88 KW hours in two days (two or three?) on one fan - which means less than $0.20 over two or three days per fan. that's like a dime a day per fan, or less. $6 worth of electricity a month to keep the house cold? sounds good to mee!

apparently the average heat pump (which is my house's a/c / heater) can use on average 2 KW per hour. woah! <2KW in 2 days with a fan, or 2KW per hour with a/c?

another funny/good note - my pc was running at 90° this morning, as opposed to 110° - i can play games when the house is this cold! :P
