Try it n test it against your bacharach
Which makes more sense to you?
CONSERVATION - turning your thermostat back and being uncomfortable. Maybe saving 5-10%
ENERGY EFFICIENCY - leaving your thermostat where everyone is comfortable. Saving 30-70%
DO THE NUMBERS! Step on a HOMESCALE.
What is comfort? Well, it AIN'T just TEMPERATURE!
Energy Obese? An audit is the next step - go to BPI.org, or RESNET, and find an auditor near you.

Notice they have used ones on sale. Those are from people whose family returned them after they died from CO.

My new Fieldpiece SCM3 should be in tomorrow. But everyone should have a low level CO detector in their home. Could save a life.
Thanks
