Well i am using Ubuntu through VMware and it seems i don't get signal.I have a wireless receiver in my pc.New to Linux
It sounds like you've substantially lowered your heating bill already (25%) is pretty goodHeat pumps are generally more efficient above forty degrees, but will still heat down to about twenty fiveAs the temp drops outside, so does the temperature coming out of your vents, at least until the backup resistance heat kicks inYour heat pump continues to run for a couple of reasonsIt anticipates temp drop in your house and kicks on early since, with cooler air outside it takes longer to warm your houseAlso, it goes through a deicing cycle(outside unit) which you may hear from inside, but not feel any improvement in the air tempurature.
A heat pump is highly over rated in Indiana winters, but they make up for it during our summer seasonI prefer basic a/c unit with R-410 refrigerant because repairs are cheaperI prefer 98% gas unit for 2 reasons, heats quicker so it runs less frequent, less electricity and when the electricity goes out you have gas for emergency weather situations.
Go into the properties of your virtual machine -network adapter - bridged That should allow your VM to use the internet connection directly from your host machine :)
I used to live in indiana, oregon nowlast month our temperatures were the sameMy heat pump has no resistance back up, and worked fine with OT of 17 f, When resistance heat is on, it takes three times as many KW to do the same jobResistance and HP point is about 15 degreesThe worse case is 33 to 36 deg f and high humidity when the outside unit ices up and has to defrost oftenIf the temp is above 20 deg outside, you may do well to turn off the breaker to the resistance heat and let the heat pump do what is designed for, three times the heat for the same $$If the air from the registers is ten degrees warmer than the room, it is workingOne other thing, Your windows are your worse heat wasterYou can get those shrink plastic covers for about three dollars per windowMy place is 2400 sq ft and HP is 30000 btu BTW for comparisonYes it gets a lot colder in indiana, but just for a few weeks, so yes a heat pump needs a little help sometimesAlso with a HP, do not change the temperature settings, because some units will use resistance heat if the variation is over two degreesSet back and programmable thermostats waste money with a HPany on tells you different just doesn't understand.
