Default Setting a programmable thermostat

Hi Tony,

What do mean 'fixed for long term'? I'm locked in for a price per CCF on my
gas for the next year, but the electric has yet to get the competition in
our area so cost per KWH varies by month. Regardless the unit price, I
still pay by how much I consume.

I haven't seen a wireless stat. I'll have go Google that! My stat is
located in a hallway where it isn't always indicative of the temp I want in
the living space. I have to adjust regularly based on what rooms we're
using and the time of day. A wireless sounds like just what I need!

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.


Hmmm,
My power and NG cost is fixed for long term. Any way is there any one who
does not know that? One reason using programmable 'stat is to save energy.
I use wireless 'stat. In summer, it moves to upstairs, in winter, it
relocates to downstairs.
