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.




OK, let's have that point of view now.


Poll question:

How many guys here have wives who mistakenly think that when warming up
a cooled down house the rate of temperature increase of a typical home
heating system will be faster if they shove the thermostat setting all
the way up to 90F than if they just move it to the appropriate setpoint.

Then of course they forget to reset it when the place reaches a
comfortable temperature and wait for the man of the house to snarl, "Why
the hell is it so damn hot in here?"

And visa versa for A/C of course.

It can't just only happen to me. G

PS, I realize there may be some HVAC systems which don't conform to the
above scenario, but they sure aren't in the majority around here.
