Re: heat efficiency

Well he is heating with Oil, so heat pumps dont matter to him
specifically!

Provided you dont let things freeze the lower the better savings wise.

I used to live alone, when I went out in the AM I would set it at 50,
come home after work, if I was going out right away I would still leave
it at 50. Tended to shower right after work back then. Turn on shower,
shut bathroom door, bathroom would get nice and hot!:) Get shower and
leave with house still at 50.

When I got home I would set it at 70 and tough it oiut till it got
comfy.

Why pay to heat a space when your not home? I mean you dont want it to
freeze, but other than that cold doesnt matter.

insulate your home, caulk all air leaks, have a efficent furnace and
good windows, wear warm clothes at home, and close off registers to
unused rooms like extra bedrooms.

you can get a heat audit where a company puts a blower on your homes
door, then checks for leaks with a smoke stick. this can help more
