I had a the same question. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place
for figuring out how to set automatic thermostats for better efficacy.
I've heard that you should not have them drop more than 10 degrees and
only if you are going to be dropped for more than 8 hours because you waste
so much energy bringing the temp back up.
I want to set the ones in my house to maximize the efficant seeing as I
have 200 year old house and it's got lots of drafts.
Anyone have any ideas?
