i have heard different sides to this question. I have heard that you will save money if you lower the thermostat in your home during the day while you are at work, but i have also heard that it doesn’t save money because you use more energy trying to raise your home’s temperature, and you are better off keeping your thermostat at a consistant temp. for refrence in our situation, i was going to lower the theromstat to about 62 during the day and raise it to 68 when we get back home.
