Does turning down a thermostat during the day save oil?
Yes. You always save energy when you turn your thermostat down in the winter. We suggest you turn your thermostat down when you go to work and at night. And, in case you were wondering, turning your heat up to 90 degrees when you return home will not heat your house up any faster than if you turn it to 68 degrees. Your heating system has 2 settings: on and off. When it is on, it will heat your house, when it is off, it does not. There is no control that lets you determine how fast the heating occurs.
