[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Our thermostat has been at 72 consistently.  Since its a townhouse, we've had issues with it getting super hot or super cold on the top floor, depending on the season.  We have a nanny and toddler that are home during the day.  Just put it down to 67.  Thanks all for the useful suggestions.  [/quote]

Go to HomeDepot today, and get a programmable thermostat and install it. If you can't install it, call some HVAC place and they'll install it on Monday. Total cost for part + labor will be < $200 and you'll make it up in energy savings. Buy the thermostat from HD as if you buy it from teh HVAC place, they'll overcharge yhou.

We have nanny and toddler at home all day, so we have it at 72 during the day, then down to 68 at night. Remember it gets coldest at night, so that's when if you had it at 72, you're going to have your heat pump working the most.

Last night was chilly, and even at 68 our heat pump was running for a fair amoutn of the night.

Other benefit to programmable with a heat pump is it will "prime" it in prepartion for going from 68 to 72 every morning -- also an energy saver.

Next thing is to replace your windows. Expect $500-1,000 per window depending on if they are standard or custom-sized. They'll last 20+ years so it's worth the money.[/quote]
