It's so frustrating. Little by little I'm trying to whittle down my electricity usage. Changing lights is saving 30 watts here, 100 watts there. But with snow maybe on the way and temperature of 39F right now, the lower level is cold again, so the electric heater is purring away. Since the heater draws about 1000 kW, even a little use adds up quickly.
The plan is to add solar hot water panels and storage, and underfloor radiant flooring. But until then, we're stuck with the original design which keeps the lower level almost 10F colder than upstairs.
How annoying :-(
