Set your thermostat when you are home or away? Please post complete question.
When at home 68 in the day time and 62 at night. When nobody is home 65. If you have a programmable thermostat it will take care of changing the temps for you. Just set it once and it should do the rest.
If you mean Fahrenheit, I set mine at 65 when no one is home. Electronic thermostats make it much easier. I have mine programmed for different times of day.
When what? If you clarify we can help.
Dear Ruth, Electric heating I am not familiar with but I do know that there is an assisted program concerning a heat pump for electrically run heating in Northern Ontario. I was just informed of the Ontario Electricity Support Program too, that may have information for you. Hope that is a start and just ask for more if needed.
The electric company here in the Dallas, Texas, area tells us 65 winter/85 summer. So we flip it to 85/65! Not really, but we keep our thermostat in the 70s year round. 73 winter/78 summer, unless we have a house full of company. 😇
