Programmable T'stats are great.
I am a big fan of the White Rogers, now Emerson, Big Blue T'stat.
I like the options for setup and they seem to last for a very long time. Available with different staging options and heat pump operation.
The one thing to remember about set back temperatures is that you are not just heating the air, you are heating up the mass of the structure. If the air is warm and the structure cold, you may still be uncomfortable.
Our night temp for heating is 67 deg F. Cool enough for a good night sleep and an easy recovery for the furnace. If the furnace kicks up to high stage during the morning warm up period, I know that it is very cold outside.
Another thing to consider is the possibility of the house freezing if you have turned the temperature down too low or turned the furnace off.
