Larry Fine,
Ahhhh yes Gas Heat. I remember it fondly. The house I had in Chicago had gas heat and it was magnificent. My new house in North Carolina is all electric (big mistake).
Thank you for the emergency heat explanation, I actually understood that.
The HVAC guy is here as I type and he found that my tray was full of water, so he emptied it and vacummed out this pipe that water should drip out of....no water was dripping. He also found that the "heat strips" were on. He disconnected them and will come back tomorrow with some relay things. He thinks there is something else wrong because the unit doesn't stay on long enough to satisfy the temperature I've set it to. he will figure that out tomorrow when he returns.
I'll let you know what my kwh usage is after he has fixed everything. Hopefully it will be back down to the norm.
I did mention all of your suggestions to him. He smiled and was very pleasant, he knew I was regurgitating something I'd heard someone else say.
Whew, sucks to be me.
