I got the SMECO cooperative review today in my email. I was reading through the tips for winter and got to this part:
"Keep thermostat heat settings at one temperature. The recommended setting for winter is 68°F. "
WHAT? Then why all the bother with programmable thermostats? I keep mine at 67 in the daytime and 65 overnight, and turn on the propane fireplace for a few minutes in the evenings when it feels chilly.
So, what do you guys think--use the programmable thermostat, or just set it and forget it? Is SMECO right or are they full of it?
