I know from experience living in very cold climates (-40 C = -40 F in the winter) that a programmable thermostat ALWAYS saves money! The colder the climate, the more it saves. ![]() This is our program for the thermostat: Night time (9:45pm - 5am): 18 C = 64.5 F Awake (5am - 8:30am): 19.5 C = 66.5 F "Away" (8:30am - 3pm): 17.5 C = 63.5 F Evening (3pm - 9:45pm): 19.5 C = 66.5 F I've been working with this schedule for 3 weeks (rental) and it appears that the 17.5 C drop needed an extra 30 minutes to get it up to a "comfortable" temperature when my family gets home at 3:45pm.
