Default Turn thermostat down?

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.



In the winter I have to run the furnace or it gets cold. That means heat leaks out.

If it is leaking out, don't put as much in to leak out while you are gone.

Simple
