[QUOTE="Mocha, post: 129643, member: 1002"] Hey bigbrad what are we talking about as far as heating bill? Not total electric but just heating if you can separate on you bill and if you can't what is your total bill during a typical winter heating month? I am not sure how changing out a thermostat will lower your costs. If you keep temp where you want it, a better newer thermostat will keep it closer with less variation but I fail to see how it will save you money unless it is programable so you can automatically adjust it down during hours when the comfortable temp is not needed. BUT then you run the risk that the boiler system will take a bunch of time to readjust to comfortable temp range. If it keeps up with the heat needed for your comfort then your problem is with the BTU cost to keep it where you want. Insulation, wind breaks, windows, types of power/boiler.........IMHO [/QUOTE]
