Bella Vista
Space Heating
Bella Vista has a propane-fueled central heating
system regulated by a remotely controllable NEST Learning
Thermostat. The inside temperature is regulated to keep a
cozy 70 degrees between 7AM and 11PM and 64 degrees at night
time. The house is subject to so much passive solar
heating that the furnace rarely has to come on to augment heat
to the 70-degree setting.
Should you find the house cold on arrival, it may
be that the thermostat is still in the "Economy" mode (Green Leaf symbol).
To set it to the "Heat" mode, simply:
(gently !!) press --> turn
(outer ring) to bring the "Green Leaf"
symbol up --> press --> turn to
highlight "Heat" --> press to set.
To set the thermostat to the "Economy" mode when you depart:
press --> turn to bring the
"Heat" symbol (waves) up
--> press --> turn to highlight "Green Leaf" symbol --> press
to set
Please keep in mind that, should you use the
fireplace, the thermostat "thinks" the entire house is warmer
than it actual is, and the bedrooms will end up cooler.
