WHO says your heating bill will be less?
- Hamuko 4y agoYou still need to heat your home, are you there or not.
- jefftk 4y agoIf no one will be there you can drain the pipes and leave it unheated over the winter. People typically do this with summer homes. (I think this thread is silly though: there's no way enough people will move to warm climates for the winter to make a dent in cold-country fuel consumption.)
- secondcoming 4y agoAt least in the UK, the part of the bill that is really increasing is the Standing Charge (a charge just for being connected to the gas network). So even if you turn off your heating your bills are still going to increase.
- roguas 4y agoNo, if you live in multiapartment complex. At least in my country there are laws that forbid you as others have to provide extra heating.
- jefftk 4y ago> laws that forbid you as others have to provide extra heating Link? As far as I know, there's nothing like this in the US, and it's something that I've known broke people to do.

- kelnos 4y agoNot as much, though. Leave home and set the thermostat to 50F or so.
