Constant heat temp or scheduled throughout day?

What is the cheapest way to save money on heat during the winter? Amid it best to leave the house at a certain temp all day or should I schedule the temp throughout the day. When I’m at work leave it at a lower temp?

If your thermostat is programmable, turning the head down to 65F at night or while you're away during the day is a good way to save loads of money on your heating bill.

I can't quote any specific studies but most electric companies encourage people to turn down their thermostat when they are not home because it saves electric.

Around 68 during the day and wear sweaters.   Turn it down to 62 at night and stay under the covers.

For any given structure, the less difference between the inside temp and the outside temp, the slower the heat loss. That means you WILL use less energy allowing the temperature to drop somewhat when you are away. How much is the only question.
