    Good tip. I’ve been doing something similar the last couple years. I have a timer on my thermostat and have it programmed to go lower when I’m at work and get toasty again when I get home. I also manually turn it down if I plan to be a way for a good portion of the night. Saves a nice chunk of change I’d say.
