Default Setting a programmable thermostat

Except that most people to save on energy costs will cool up and warm down.
A setting of 68-70 in winter will save on heating costs while a setting of
76-78 in summer will save on cooling cost.

Should the "cool setpoint" temperature be higher than the "heat
setpoint" temperature?

Hi,
Easy to remember this way; cool down to, heat upto the set temp.
