Dufferz and PDX, thanks for the brand names of the two programmable thermostats. This has to be something extremely recent? I know when we bough the home in late '02 I check some out at HD and they informed me that "no can do".
Yes, you're abolutely correct about ceiling heat being garbage. I suffered far too many sinus headaches due to that lovely contraption! First night there, I told my husband he needed to move the boxes away from the walls as I wanted to turn the heat on, (Nov.) I was fraid they were on the vents......... coudlnt' find a vent at all. I was thinking there's no possible way in Idaho that they'd have apartments without heaters and then his 6'4 self reached up and felt the heat
