I just reprogrammed my thermostat for some additional savings. It used to be 70F while I was at home and awake, and 60F when I am not and while I'm sleeping. I have now made it so that it is 70F when I am home and awake, 60F when I am at home and sleeping, and 50F when I am not home.

Depending on how well this works, I might try to drop my temperature while sleeping, and bump the temperature up in the morning to get ready for work. I currently just keep it at 60F until I leave the house in the morning, and then it goes to 50F.

I'm hoping these changes show up good on my energy usage. Its been a very cold winter so far.


Here is my typical week day when I'm home in the afternoon.
