Ok, I'll leave it be in the colder months. (constant temperature)
Yes, I'll also watch the consumption.
The summer though.......
Are you saying also that a heat pump / air conditioner, it is also better not to turn it up in the summer when were not here for at least 8 hours??
Because on a regular air conditioner, it is much better to turn it up.
Ya, it runs a bit longer when you turn the temp back down, but is that not when a air conditioner performs it's best?

I guess what Im asking now, is, in the summer.
With a heat pump type air conditioner, should I monkey with the temp while no one is at home.
Is it more economical?
