What a difference

The geothermal heat isn't hooked up yet, but along with the new furnace came 3 additional heat ducts in the house.  One each in the dining room, living room and hallway by the extra bedroom.  The plumber has them hooked to the old furnace until the new one is operational.  I can't believe what a difference that has made in the comfort level of the house.  Our temperatures haven't been above freezing for several days and the nights have been well below zero.  In times past I would have had to have numerous layers to be even close to warm in the house.  Now, all the cold spots and drafts seem to be gone.  If it stays that way after the new furnace is hooked up I will be one happy camper and the dent the upgrade makes in my checking account will be a whole lot easier to handle.  I don't think it will be as good as the hot water heat I've had in a couple of other homes, but I'll bet it is close.
