I see you don't know what energy conservation is.

So you don't heat the home when you're at home?

Yes when at home.

I assume you come home at some point.

Yes and like most do have a switch that turns on to heat the home, switches are things thatr can be off or on and for teh most part I prefer my heating off from about 8am to around 4pm during the week because I am not there.

I suppose you leave your car heater and the engine on when you're not using your car.

I don't turn the heating off when I leave home. I merely turn down the
thermostat. I find I don't save money by turning the heating rigt off
and letting the house cool down. If I do that I've got 30 tons of
house and contents to warm back up again at a time when outside
temperatures are falling.

Anybody with proper insulation finds their house won't cool much in the 8 hours they're at work. Might as well just leave the stat set to whatever temperature you want all the time. Do you really think you save much if you let your house be 14C above outside temperature instead of 16C? That's 2/16 you saved, for a third of the day, so **** all.

that depends on the outside temperature.

it adds up, especially when there's more than a 14c deg differential.

I actually drop the set temperature from 20C to 17C with the outside
temperature generally being anywhere between 15C and 5C. It might not
save much but it does save. It only takes about 20 minutes to bring
the bulk of the house back up to temperature.

Don't forget I live in Auckland alongside the harbour. Air temperature
rarely gets below 0C.

I don't turn the heating off when I leave home. I merely turn down the
thermostat.

So why do you do that ?

See below.

I find I don't save money by turning the heating rigt off
and letting the house cool down.

really most people do and it helps with teh global warming thing.

Here in the UK we are encouraged to turn down our heating by just 1C to both save money and the enviroment, but then I guess if you're a Trump supporter then you don't believe in such things.


If I do that I've got 30 tons of
house and contents to warm back up again at a time when outside
temperatures are falling.

So you think keeping a house warm when yuo're not there is more efficient ?

Yes.

My house is hated with a heat pump. If I leave it during the ay and
turn it on in the evening I am giving it a major load when the outside
temperatures are approaching coolest. That means the heat pump runs at
a lower efficiency which means more power has to be used. That costs
me more. And then there is problem of the icing of the outside coil.
Deicing heaters come into use and that costs more money also.
