Energy Star recommends programmable thermostats that lower temperature when you're away, but the speaker keeps his constant because waiting for the house to warm up when he gets home at 5:30 p.m. is annoying. He accepts the higher energy bill for immediate comfort.
Look at Energy Star. They'll tell you to use a programmable thermostat set at this temperature when you're away from the house. Set it at this temperature when you're home. I like a constant temperature in my house. I don't want to come home at 5:30 and my unit is just now trying to get to 72 degrees. It's not going to happen at 5:30. It might cost me a few extra bucks, it might cost me more energy, but I like to be comfortable. So where do you stand on the debate? Let me know in the comments.
