Title: Typical Startup Time/Temps
Post by: DBeleskey on October 13, 2019, 08:59:26 AM

New to OWB's but I have my Polar G2 all ready to go and wondering what the norm is for start up. I live in Northern Ontario Canada and the temps are starting to cool down. We are getting down to 35 degrees F at night but has been warming up to 50 ish thru the day.
I feel that if I startup now it will only be used a little at night and maybe once or twice through the day.

Any thoughts ?

I wait for the Mrs to mention it, and wait another week. ;)

I know you're in Ontario and I'm on Wisconsin, but I started mine up a couple days ago.  I created a post to keep track of each years start and end dates if want to see what my start dates are.  Feel free to post yours on it if you want:

Very interesting,  thanks. Right now I have just been turning on the gas furnace once in a while in the morning for a quick warm up then it's good for the day. Was just concerned with condensation if I warmed it up the didn't start another for a couple of days. Could just be over thinking...

Using the Mrs. gauge is a good way too.!!
