Woke up this morning to a chilly house... we are rural; no natural gas out here so we have propane heat. I checked my tank level not long ago, and I have a driver that usually comes by and checks, filling if needed. I underestimated how much we've been using, and we ran out during the night last night.
Now, it didn't get too cold. I usually keep the thermostat on 69 or 70 during the nighttime hours. The temp in the house was 65 when we woke up.
My tank normally only shows a .8 swing, every single day. Sandies, for some reason, swings .1 every single day.
Both tanks were 2 degrees below normal this morning. It seems both were right on the line of the heaters not being able to keep up and 4-5 degrees ambient change was all it took to cross that line.
Spare heaters are in both now, and gas is on the way, so I think all is well but I just wanted to throw this out there in case any of you may be "underheated".
