Default Re: Turn the heater off?

Can you put in a programable thermostat? We have one, I have it set for 68 when I'm home and awake in the evenings and 60 the rest of the time (I also can program it for the weekends, 68 from 8 AM to 10 PM and 60 overnight). This way it doesn't drop too low when I'm asleep and not at home, but at the same time it doesn't run nearly as much as it would if I kept it at 68 24/7. It's nice, I don't have to remember to turn it on/off all the time! I don't think they cost much, maybe $25 or $30, any hardware store would have them, maybe Target or Walmart, too.
