    Change in the heater Controll.

    Heater Controll started doing this. Didn’t see anything like this posted in a quick search. I changed nothing in the programming.
    Why the change?

    Your house probably got colder.

    I thought that too but it seems the heater shuts off before it gets to its upper range temp for some reason. Maybe normal behavior. I totally get the long ramp up with the cold house. It was all the notches that concerned me. Wasn’t sure why it wouldn’t be a steady rise to the set max temp. Guess I’ll just watch it.
    Here is the power draw with the temps.

    Does your heater have an inline thermostat built in? If so, I wonder if the thermostat is starting to go bad. It might be interesting to see a graph of power draw on the outlet when it is turned on.

    That’s a thought but changing the Neptune program seems to have fixed it.
