My friend said he places his thermostat lower upstairs, because heat rises and he says that the heat from downstairs will naturally heat your upstairs. Doing this would save money on your electric bill he said.
I had a debate with him about this. I actually figured that it would be the reverse. Here was my logic...I felt that if heat was rising from downstairs, then that would mean that it was escaping and that you'd need MORE heat pumped out to heat the downstairs and that would increase your electric bill.
Any thoughts from you physics heads? :)
