I asked this question a couple of days ago, but I am not 100% satisfied with the answers I received. I'm not sure if everyone understood the question. So here it goes again. Thanks in advance for answering.
What is the BEST method for saving gas on your utility bill...a) setting the thermostat at a CONSTANT temperature (doesn't matter the degrees) ALL DAY...or...b) using the SETBACK method and have the thermostat AUTOMATICALLY drop the temperature 6-8 degrees when I'm at work/sleeping/etc and then RAISE it back when I am awake or come home?
The setback method happens automatically, everyday. I don't touch the thermostat. It's programmed and left alone.
In the SUMMER, experts and research says it's cheaper to set the temperature at ONE SETTING and LEAVE IT ALONE, no matter if you're at work or sleeping. So why is it different for the winter, with the invention of the newer, programmable thermostats?
I hope to get some real good answers, and maybe some proof. Thanks.
