Just build a new home. First time owner of a heat pump. We turn the indoor thermostat down to 61 at night and up to 68 in the morning. We don't adjust it throughout the day. Here's my question: Am I using too much energy in the morning by heating the house up from 61 to 68 - would I use less energy if I kept it at a more constant temperature - say 65? I notice in the morning it says "Auxiliary Heat" on the thermostat. We have a pellet stove which heats the area we live in most and setting the thermostat at 68 has been comfortable.
I appreciate any information.
