I was surprised not to see anything about using a programmable thermostat. Because you can get it to start heating your house early enough so it’s already comfortable when you get up, you can afford to set the overnight temperature way back, saving lots of energy. A 7-day programmable thermostat can accommodate odd schedules such as 3-day work weeks and so on; other simpler-to-program ones allow you one schedule for weekdays and another for weekend days. The myth that if you set a thermostat too low you’ll use more energy reheating the house than you’ve saved, is false both in scientific theory and reality.
