Do you folks need to heat your homes in the winter months?

Depends on your site location. We are fortunate that the enclosed section of our lanai off the living area faces SW. On sunny days this winter, we'd trap the heat on the lanai and then open the telescoping sliders and let the sun heat the house. After a day of sun, the temp in the house seldom dropped below 68 during the night. Our heat seldom, if ever, came on. Since we're from Upstate NY, we could live w/ 68 until the sun warmed up the house again. What electricity we didn't use for heat in winter, we probably will use for the AC during the summer, though! We arrived in Sept which was intense enough. I set the AC to 76, and can't manage it any warmer than that!
