If its nice and toasty inside when its cold outside, they're just plain too high.The heat loss is a function of the temperature difference between inside and outside.

The ONLY reason that I can think of to work when you don't want to is an emergency - like a water line break; heating and cooling emergency when the outside temperature is extreme; or a refrigerator going out.

I have a thermostat that is equipped with a lock out and I was just wondering what temperature cycle can I set it at in new york?

Tom -Once again, you've reminded me how poor the educational system is in this country and reaffirmed how uneducated talk-show hosts are dumbing down this country one listener at a time...For someone who seems so good at cutting and pasting information from the web and presenting it as your own, I'd think you would have at least done a little bit of research on this subject...To a typical high-school dropout, it may seem intuitive that an increase in global temperatures would mean that big snowstorms are less likely, but to anyone who had done even a modicum of research would know that a rise in sea temperatures would likely trigger more extreme weather, including the freak storms like we saw last winter and this winter.

Looking at a graph of average daily temperatures for the area, it looks like your heating season is Oct through April, with Janurary being the coldest.
