Is it energy saving to turn the thermostat down, when
leaving the house? I mean, the furnace has to run to catch
up when I get home. I have a way of looking at the matter.
I'll explain my point of view after the argument is
underway.

Well, according to the message I have gotten several times from
Oklahoma Natural Gas, turning down the thermostat 10 degrees for
8 hours per day will lower your bill by 10%. I'm not sure the
bill itself will go down that much since part of the bill is a
fixed rate operating cost, but the usage part should drop.
And if you can't believe the gas company who can you believe.
