They are horrendously expensive and you will never recoup the savings
given today's low prices for natural gas.


So, it would be cheaper to keep the vacation house at 70F
all year long, instead of being able to dial it up when you're
two hours away?

It would have to be pretty expensive not to pay for itself when it
emails you that the temp in your house is falling below the margin you
set for it. So you can go to, or send someone to it to drain the
pipes before they burst-- or fix whatever is wrong with your heating
system.
