<<I have experienced super cold winters where I live, Canada. 10 degrees every 30 min is not accurate. At least not my old house. I must have good heat retention. If you are loosing 10 degrees every 30 min, get some insulation man.>>

Hi, Cheeky. Well, I'll do some checking on this. Perhaps, as it was starting to get c-o-o-o-l-d in the house it seemed to get colder faster then it did.

Another side to the coin is the laws of thermal dynamics. I'm no expert but I do know that when it's major cold outside and you turn off your furnace, the house cools down much faster from 70 degrees (f.) to 60 degrees, than it does from 40 to 30. Has to do with internal/external pressure factors. So I wasn't meaning to say that in four hours a house would go from 70 to 30. Main point was, when it's major cold and the power goes out, nobody without a backup heat source is going to stay cozy comfortable for any significant period of time. Can we agree on that?

Regards.
