Default But what about the hot water heater? Turn thermostat down?

Please forgive me while I troll for a moment.....

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.


Now that we've thrashed out the heater thermostat setting, what
about the hot water supply?
I'm starting to think I seriously goofed when I got a new hot
water tank, rather than go for an on demand system. I wonder how
difficult it might be to retro-fit one into the kitchen, anyway?


I looked into it a little bit when we replaced our heater a little while
ago; the increased exhaust requirements were a killer in my house
(hot water heater is located about dead center in my house, so there
were going to be no shortcuts running the exhaust).


Straight up? My Mom's house had a collection of bad executions
of reasonable ideas. One major one was a gas water heater, in the
garage, under the stairs up to the family room. And a plastic
connecting the previous owner's dogs had chewed on.
