Department of Energy disagrees: "During winter, the lower the interior temperature, the slower the heat loss. So the longer your house remains at the lower temperature, the more energy you save, because your house has lost less energy than it would have at the higher temperature."

So what about the 8 hours/day 5days/ week you’re suggesting to keep it at operating temp? The heating system isn’t working during these hours? I don’t understand. Again, check out DOE website. Or just google your question. It’s debunked by multiple sources. Also, the reason for smart tstats is so you can set them for specific run times. It’s the whole purpose of a smart tstat

Not to be that guy, but a quick google search debunks this man… you’re saying in order to save money on heating, keep the system running 24/7. That just makes no sense

“Facts” ≠ your opinion

This is just wrong info. It’s a simple equation. (Time system is on)x(cost of heat) = heating bill. So decreasing the time your system is on will decrease your bill. The furnace doesn’t “work herder” based on the room temperature.

I think it’s even a metric like for every degree you lower your tstat setting can save 1% in cost. Go to the DOE website and research thermostats. “You can save as much as 10% a year on heating and cooling by simply turning your thermostat back 7-10deg for 8 hours a day” Source: https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/programmable-thermostats

The reason for smart/programmable tstats is exactly so you can set them for specific time periods? Running your heat when not needed (empty house) is a waste of energy. It’s the single marketing point for smart tstats. Even if what you say is true, the heating system is still not running nearly as much to where it would be if it was on all day.

This sounds more accurate. Odd seeing all the $200+ bills in this thread. Someone reported $400? I would shut my heat off and wear winter coat hat and gloves if my bill was ever that high. f****** that lol

Edit: I’d be curious to see people’s rent payments as a comparison. $400 is 1/4 of my rent payment. That’s bogus

Seems reasonable… I’m very curious about conflicting reports in this thread. I have the same living space as you, more or less similar tstat settings, and my bill is less than half of yours? Very odd.

damn sorry to hear its so high... maybe try getting the plastic for the windows and thicker curtains? Idk theres something strange about that bill for 1000 sq ft

Are you using a lot of hot water? $280 seems high! I'm single and my bill is $98 this month. I also keep t-stat in the 60s: 60 when not home during the weekdays, 65-67 from 5-10p, 60 overnight. Weekends I'll set it around 63-65 when I'm home during the day.

Edit: there is also the option of "balanced billing" but I'm not sure if it works out in the end... might end up paying more somehow. I don't trust how they calculate the average cost lol and I like the idea of paying <$30 for heat in the spring/summer months

Haha not at all!

It’s fckn ART bro, you wouldn’t understand…
