Yup - we turned ours on a few days ago. But we did make it into October, which has always been my goal since the original no-heat contest.

Mine has only actually come on twice, though. We have it set at 66 in the daytime and 62 at night.

We have our thermostat turned on, but so far the radiators are still cold in the morning. I don't know if the heat is kicking on at night or not since we do have it set pretty low. It is getting chilly at night so I'm guessing it will be kicking on sooner or later.

Actually the old contest was no furnace, not no heat, as portable heaters and the like were allowed...

Turned it on the other week but it's only kicked on a couple of times. That radiator smell is phenomenal.

No heat here. We have pulled out all the extra blankets and as long as it is sunny during the day the house is staying relatively warm thank goodness. I am still a southern gal at heart and dreading the coming of winter!

I turned on the heat on Sunday after I dragged all the houseplants inside and took the air conditioners out of the windows. As always, it's set at 66 when I am home during the day and 62 when I am at work or sleeping.

I tried testing the radiators last night since we have a new boiler/heating system. (I thought it was better to find out about any possible problems while it is still relatively mild out.) The night was so warm the heat only came on for a few minutes.

No heat here yet. I want to make it to November, but Husband isn't sure he's into that idea.

it will be extra funny if those of us holding out on turning on the heat finally turn it on and it's broken :O

It's happened before. There used to be a rule that you got one furnace test to make sure it worked.

It felt almost tropical a night ago, I thought of putting on the air.

I always try to make it to November before I turn it on.

The No Heat thing just means no furnace heat oh oh Space heaters, fireplaces and radiant heat were acceptable...and one furnance turn on to be sure all is well in preparation to use for the oncoming cold. I used to bake in the oven to kill the chill cheese
