Re: heater ?
Since we're talking heaters I thought I'd jump in. Right mow mine is bypassed just like discussed. It sure would be nice to have heat since it's 27 degrees in VA right now, but it's really not anywhere on my list. My fix for now is a small space heater attached to a extension cord and electrical timer that kicks on about 30 minutes before I leave for work so my windows defrost. If anyones curious according to the warnings on those electrical timers you shouldn't use them with extension cords or space heaters.
