Well water specialist thru DHHS can help. I posted link to more info, above.

Coliform is one of those indicators that your well might have other contaminants present. Usually does not cause an issue for healthy humans.

Folks with private wells can seek assistance from a private well specialist thru DHHS: https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/environmental-health/dwp/consumers/waterWellFacts.shtml

I have an apartment.

Monitor heater and electric baseboard: 65-68 when I’m home/awake (it’s an old monitor so I just set it at the lowest setting). I use the electric baseboard sparingly: when I go to bed and wake up I set it at 65 to take the chill off the bedroom for about 20 mins.

50 for freeze protection (via electric baseboard backup) when I’m not home and overnight.

How does it benefit the Dennysville resident to pay for a town office that's only open one afternoon a week? They have to go to Pembroke most of the time anyway. Why not share the costs between all residents of those towns equally and provide better service?

I keep the thermostat for the furnace set around 58, and run the pellet stove all day everyday and my living room(where the stove is) is usually around 72-75 and the bedrooms are around 60.

We use doorway fans to move the hot air and wear sweatshirts if necessary.

I need a phone with night mode..

Big difference between having some rust and having a fist size hole on the bottom of your car. Rust can be fixed, a gaping hole is more problematic.

Was "rot box" your nickname in college? 🤣

Normal is 68° to 70°. I’ll occasionally do a 71° burst for a short bit (hour or so) just to take the edge off during the day but I enjoy wearing a sweatshirt to warm up from a slight chill. Feels cozy. We run oil heat but have an electric fireplace in the living room I occasionally turn on if I want that space a tad bit warmer (it’s really effective so I only run it for short bursts, also), as well as 2 heat pumps - which are super effective for the open areas they’re in. I like sleeping cold, so at night I tend to drop the temps to as low as 64°, with an average of 67°.

Ducted geothermal?

Nice. That's my HVAC dream but retrofits seem so expensive due to the ductwork. Was your ductwork already present?

68 downstairs and 64 upstairs during the day. Reversed at night.

I mean, there are almost 200 million R32 units deployed worldwide. It's North America that took forever to adopt it because of Honeywell. The alternative A2L refrigerants, R452B and R454B, are less efficient and proprietary blends. Honeywell's own R-466A isn't getting much traction either.

Regardless, even if companies are going to eventually move away from R32 - they are already mandated to move away from R-410A so R32 is still a better purchase at this time.

Now you have me thinking about a whoopie pie.

60 at night and if it was up to be 60 all day but we go to 63-65. I love blankets :) the only struggle is when I’m at my PC my hands get cold

The wife gets a little cranky when the living room gets above 80. The 'Ol Vermont castings has the house at 69 degrees this morning.

Oh thank you

Happy cake day

I keep the room I'm hanging out in at 60 degrees and the rest of the house at 55.

Edit: except when there's a storm & the power might go out. Then I'll bump the whole place up to 65-70 until it's over. This weekend for the cold snap, will probably do the same. If the power goes out or heater malfunctions, a warmer house will be slower to cool to pipe freezing conditions. I'm frugal but I'm not obsessive. I guess I keep it cool when it's not crazy cold out so I can afford to keep it warm when it is.

House is always set at 64, but we have a wood stove so once it’s been loaded and going, it’s usually 72 or warmer

Code enforcement isn't just for reporting a landlord. They are an excellent resource, literally your local code expert. They should be able to point you in the right direction maybe even give advice.

Or you waste ten minutes. No stone unturned gig, they say.

62 at night and during the day when we're not here. 69 or 70 when we're here. My office job is cold. I'm not going to be cold at home too

Pep boys sucks that too.

Thanks, tourists!
