QUESTION:Just had a new boiler furnace ( baseboard heat ) installed. Also got rid of
my very old thermostat & installed a new digital setback type. My question
is, what's the deal on setting back a boiler a few degrees at night.
Considering the time it runs in the morning to get the temp. back to normal,
am I really saving anything or not ?
ANSWER: Yes. Heat loss is proportional to the difference in temperature
between the inside and outside. While your thermostat is set back
the temperature difference is less than it otherwise would have
been, thus less heat needed.
