Heating usage this January 2013 compared to last January 2014.

Let's compare TackyTed's Nest energy use with a new AirEase 97% furnace from this January 2014 to January 2013. 

Last month the average temperature was 32°F and I used 13 fewer hours of heating than in January 2013, when the average temp was 41°F.

Your state used 87 more hours of heating. The country as a whole used 35 more hours of heating.
