This month, I bought a digital thermostat($20) and control the heat at 65 while I'm home, and let it cool down to 60 when I'm at work/sleeping. My gas bill this month was $145.



You must not be married lol!!

I have a programable thermostat that keeps the hosue at 72 when I'm there and 68 when I'm not. I don't want it to get too cold while im away or otherwise it takes too long ot get the hosue warmed back up, using too much energy as well.
BTW my house is 4 stories (including basement and attic) and is about 1200 sq ft.




Hahaa you're right, I'm not married! I've got a 5 degree variance, but I figure that the energy it takes to warm up from 60 to 65, is not going to outweigh the 13 hours that the t-stat is set to 60.
