I've been noticing the kitchen and living room are noticably warmer than the rest of the house. I don't hae the heat on yet, and usually this only happens when I cook. The cooking has been pretty minimal as of late.....I'm eating lots of leftovers, although I'm running low. (Time to cook the other turkey)
I woke up this morning and had a revelation when I turned on my tree.....
It's the lights.
Each strand of lights doesn't put out much heat, but I lost count this year and have between 15 and 19 strands.....there's that heat.
But I wouldn't recommend it.....My December electric bill is notoriously high.
