I'm still running forced hot air heat in the house with the exception of the kitchen which is on a separate hydronic zone. This old place gets chilly without a radiant heat source. The Harman does the job nicely.

We've had 3 nights in a row in the low 20s and it hasn't slowed them down much. Not uncommon to see bugs with snow on the ground these past years. When I was a kid you never saw this. We need a real cold winter that lasts atleast 4 months. They are becoming super bugs.
