When you get in the car in the morning...

Do you immediately turn the heat on, or do you wait for the car to warm up?

DH and I are always bickering over this.

I turn it on right away, that way the SECOND it gets warm it's on me already.

He says it just makes everything colder and keeps it off until the car is warm. BUT then he forgets to turn it on and I'm blue!!

I turn it on when it gets warm.... I hate when the fan is blowing cold air in my face.

Other - I leave the heat on & start the autostart from the house.

If I forgot the autostart, I would keep the vent off until the car wasnt' blowing cold air & then put it on.

Other. I send Dh to start the car while he is walking the dogs. He runs the heat as soon as he starts it & it runs for about 10 minutes before we leave for work.

I push a little button from my window, get dressed, kiss DH goodbye, and go outside to a very warm truck. Remote starts are BETTER than sliced bread! Chat Icon

Re: When you get in the car in the morning...

Remote start from the house with the heat left on! I let my car run for 10-15 minutes, that way it's nice an toasty when I get in.

But DH would agree with your husband. Chat Icon He thinks you should wait til the car is warmed up before turning the heat on.

Re: When you get in the car in the morning...

I don't let it warm up all the way... I wait maybe 2-3 mins before turning the heat on. It may not be hot yet, but it's warmer than the air in the car!

Re: When you get in the car in the morning...

i put in on right away but that's only because i dont sit in the car. i go down, let the car run for about 5 mins so the heat can kick on and then get in. i dont like sitting the car when its bitterly cold.Chat Icon

I voted for "other".

I have an automatic starter, so I leave my heat on when I get out of the car.

I turn the car on from inside my bedroom before I do my makeup, so when I get in 15 minutes later, it's all cozy!Chat Icon
