Interpret my static air pressure numbers

[STEVEusaPA]

With all due respect to Maikerum, and someone who lives in the Philly suburbs, please don't call temps dropping down to 65 as "winter" . Although it does sound nice.

Steve, they drop to 65 on the inside. Outside, it will be 20's or 30's. Not too bad, but not Hawaii.

Teddkidd, my gas and electric cost average $100 a month total. According to Duke Energy's user website, my energy use is 58% of typical for my size and age of house in Charlotte's climate. If everyone did what I did, or hired you to weatherize, we would have no energy issues in America. But it is labor and capital intensive, and most people don't think long term, unfortunately.

I would like to lower my high stage furnace CFM to drop the static pressure, but can't figure out how to do it with this Infinity thermostat, yet. As far as I can tell, I can choose between "comfort" and "efficiency" but can't figure out how to otherwise affect fan speed or cfm on high stage.

Well, talk up the $800-$900 a year you are saving. Seems capital intensive NOT to do what you've done.

NUTS, nothing more annoying than a link to a huge amount of reading. My apologies!!!!

Scroll down to the article All Shook Up.

Look for the heading "Low Water Temps" which explains the motivation for Europeans to chase getting more BTU from combustion.

Also look for other great stuff like "

Which only goes to prove that once you think you have it all figured out... you don't.

"

And:

From the beginning, the European heating engineers used wide temperature drops across their systems. Thirty-five to 40f is standard now. Her in the States, we typically work with 20f temperature drops. How come? Habit.

Is this guy GREAT or what!?
