I have a place in the mountains. It is SoCal so not really cold. Maybe 20's at night and 50 during the day. There are two furnaces. One for the house and one for the Master, laundry room and master bath.
Which saves more energy? Should I turn off the furnace to the master and close the doors during the day and then heat it up at night, and do the opposite for the main section of the house? I usually keep the heat at 68.
I tried it last night. The main house dropped to 58. When I turned the main furnace on it seems to run straight for 10-15 minutes. The master only drops to around 61 during the day with the furnace off. Or should I just keep the place warm all the time?
I'm trying to figure out which uses less gas.
Thanks

Buy 2 nest or ecobee stats, connect them to wifi, and they'll automatically set the thermostat back with their occupancy sensing when you're not around. Or you can program them to set back at a scheduled time. They'll have smart recovery so when the time comes for you to arrive home, wakeup or whatever, they'll be up to temp
