Turning it off at night is the same thing as turning it down. Your heat will only turn on if the temperature drops below that setting. The lower you set the temperature at, the more money you can potentially save because the less total time the heater runs. The total time is less because it requires less time per degree to heat when it is closer to the outside temperature. Also, the temperature drops more slowly the closer the inside gets to the outside temperature. If you were heating to a higher temperature, the total time of running the heat would be more because the temperature drops at a faster rate and rises at a slower rate. The same thing works in reverse in the summer. If it is colder than 60 degrees onside, I flip my programmable thermostat to the heat setting, which means it heats to 60 when I am there, 55 when I am sleeping, and 50 when I am away. If it is warmer than 80 degrees, I flip my programmable thermostat to the cool setting, which means it cools to 80 degrees when I am there and sleeping, and 90 when I am away. This is a 40 degree away difference and a 20 degree at home difference which allows for the maximum amount of savings over the course of the year. It can get uncomfortable at first, but you can get used to it and adjust with your clothing/blankets/etc. If the temperature is anywhere between 60-80, my heating or cooling does not run at all which means my electricity bill is near zero. Also, since I live in an apartment, my downstairs neighbor helps heat and cool my apartment as long as their heat and cool settings are higher and lower than mine, which I assure you for most sane people it is.

No, I do not. I cannot do so. I live in a building where the heat is set automatically, and even those who own the place in which they live (like myself) have no control over the heat.

Yes! And our electric bill is under 100$ and we have over 2000 sq feet.
