My current thermostat is a somewhat older, non-programmable one that only goes down to 60 degrees. This winter with the high oil prices, I want to have a thermostat that goes down to 50 degrees. Are most thermostats out there capable of being set as low as 50 degrees? Also, has anyone had experience keeping their house at this low a temp? If so, did you run into problems such as frozen pipes? Note: I use a woodstove, so when folks are at home it is fine without much heat from the furnace, but I'm more concerned about times when just the furnace is on.
