Great post that gives at least some credence to my wall cavity suspicions. I have always argued that the setback saving must be to a large extent negated by needing to reheat the surfaces. I try to just leave it on 71 but the wife dont abide.

Its a standard New Yorker boiler with a gas conversion. The temp at the stat is correct. House has been gone through and fitted with Roxul in 2x4 walls (great stuff, kudos Canada)) and new double pane argon windows. 12 inches in the attic rafters. Who knows what the differential is since ive...
