Thermostat Optimum Temperature Settings

Cincinnati is different, people need to be led in to the energy efficient barn like cattle. A recent question arose as to optimum temperature settings for your thermostat on WCPO Cincinnati, due to temperatures falling into the negatives.

What's the Best Temperature Setting for your Furnace? Best Temperature for Winter 65 and 68 degrees daytime (open blinds on south side of house to allow radiant heat) 60 and 64 degrees nighttime and when you're out (close blinds and block drafts) However, experts say do not turn your heat below 60 degrees, because your walls can get too cold, and pipes can freeze. ( this is only possible on exterior walls with pipes in them) Is it just me or do you find it funny that they show the old dial type thermostat instead of the newer set back thermostat.
