Fair enough then.

Well I think outside temperature is the biggest factor with setbacks.
I agree the money you save during the initial setback to low heat is roughly
what it will cost to reheat to high heat, but I disagree a little when they
mention savings throughout the following 8 hrs of setback. Sure the house is
down to 15c but it now runs to maintain 15c, the same way it woul run to
maintain 20c. So where's the savings? Your initial setback savings are spent
reheating back to high temp.

"You save fuel between the time that the temperature stabilizes at the lower
level and the next time heat is needed."

If it's -15c outside I don't think there would be much of an off period and
therefore not much savings. I would like to see these "studies" that website
mentions.

Am I missing something here?

By your reasoning, better to leave the kitchen stove going and set to 350
deg all the time then....

Exactly why you are so clueless

Thus the reason you aren't the brightest bulb in the bunch.

It wouldnt do any good. It would be way over your head. Stick to "Dick
and Jane" books. Lots of pictures.

Just a brain. Canucks dont come with them. Its an option. You couldnt
afford it on your $100 a day plus beer.

Sorry bubba, your post makes no sense. Clearly you have no technical skill.
Way to recite what I typed, without offering any new info. Typical useless
post by bubba! I'm suprised your white trash family can afford the
bandwidth...o that's right no net at the trailer park. HAHA
