Being the US temps are degrees F.According to the U.S. Department of Energy Web site http://www.eere.energy.gov, you can save about 5 percent to 15 percent per year on your heating bill by turning your thermostat back 10 to15 degrees for eight hours. That’s a savings of as much as 1 percent for each degree if the setback period is eight hours long
