Blaine, if I get an electric bill like you're getting--you better know they will pay! Ryan, we don't see an indicator light for letting us know when the heat strips kick in; however, if we turn them on manually, the whole backdrop turns red on the thermostat. Geo people coming back on the 27th; hope to get this issue resolved (don't want the house to burn down).

My other option if they don't get it fixed is get another electrician to look at it. It just isn't right that the house lights stay dim like that.
