Quick question. We have one of these in our 2BR apartment in Michigan with a programmable thermostat. We've noticed that it takes a long time to raise the temp -- maybe an hour to raise it two degrees -- and we just realized that its hydroheat and not a standard gas furnace. Should we be using this with a programmable thermostat? Obviously, the set-backs can't be as aggressive -- given how hard (and long) it has to work to raise temp -- and we haven't had a really bad cold spell yet. Or should we just keep it at a set temp all the time?
