Recieved a copy of Epoch Times in the mail yesterday. Anyone else? Trying to figure out if they're just sending these out or if someone put me on their mailing list as a prank or something.

According to a temperature sensor I put in my crawlspace, the crawlspace got as low as 33.3F. That is pretty close to freezing---enough to make me nervous about water pipes down there. I'm dripping my faucets hopefully...

Yeah heat pump heating capacity is a function of outside air temp. They just can't extract much heat from air this cold. Does your air handler have electric backup heat? Depending on your thermostat, you can lock out the heat pump when it gets below a certain outside temp.

Also, just adding as a fellow homeowner who bought a house with pipes that used to freeze, fix it before the next cod snap. Fill all the gaps under your house and wrap your pipes. It really doesn't take long and will make a huge difference.
