DO YOU REALLY SAVE MONEY BY LOWERING YOUR HEATING AT NIGHT?

 




 

We kept our day temperature at 72, and lowered it to 66 at night when the outside temperature was well below freezing.   Even at 66, our furnace still ran at increased intervals all night.   In the morning, it would take half an hour or more of constant running to bring the temperature back to 72. The countertops were cold, the walls and all appliances were cold, and the whole house had to heat up to 72. 

I am not convinced that dropping the temperature at night actually saves heating fuel.
