when nobodys home. heat question?
just got home, took off my coat and had to put on a sweatshirt.
cold in here :( (its like 10 degrees outside)
so. when nobody is home for the 8 hours or what ever, be it at work or school.
what do you keep the thermostat set to?

65 during night and day and 68 in the evening when everyone gets home.
Cant turn it much lower than 65 since the house is so big and it take awhile to warm back up

ours stays at 68* 24-7.
we used to take it down to like 60 when no one was home but this year we are just keeping it at 68 and we've actually noticed a decrease in the heating bill.

It goes off. I only turn the heat on when I feel like it. Averages about 55*-60* in the apartment. If I want heat, I flip on the radiator space heater if I want heat, but normally only when I am home on weekends.
Got a main furnace, but havent needed it

Mine is programed to 68 at night and 70 during the day. The tile flooring stays around 75-80 if we turn on the floor heating. No getting up in the middle of the night and walking on cold floors.
