Learned a bit this past week. Temps were never over 25* and snow every day. The furnace seemed to cycle quite a bit and it got cool in the back as soon as it shut off, so I ran the fireplace. This made the furnace run less-but soon it was apparent that the water lines were freezing. So I tried this to force more heat into the belly; I covered the register in the bedroom(upstairs) and partially covered the one nearest the stairs. The furnace would run longer periods, but cycled less often and the water soon flowed again. The fireplace is nice and so is electric heat, but don't forget how the tanks stay thawed folks. As an added benefit, it was cooler upstairs and I slept better and the kitchen area is usually warm anyway.
