If you are gone for days at a time set your thermostat at 40 to 45 degrees, unless you have pets or plants in the house, then set the temp at 50 to 55 degrees. However if you are only gone for a day (say at work) you may only want to set the thermostat at 50 degrees because the lower you set it the longer the house takes to warm up after you get home.
For daily occupied/unoccupied set the unocc 5-8 degrees lower than occ, for sleep mode setback occ to whatever is comfortable to you. For away days at a time I would go no lower than 55-60 to avoid the risks freezing pipes along exterior walls and basement.

Water leaking from a furnace most likely occurs from the heat of the furnace which transforms into a liquid. The best way to avoid the leak is to put your furnace at a lower temperature.
How many btu furnace to heat a 3200 sq ft home in upstate NY?
A general rule of thumb in estimating the size of furnace needed to heat a home is to find the square footage of the home, and multiply that by 45 BTU (British Thermal Unit). For a 3200 square foot home a furnace somewhere in the range of 144,000 BTU would be a reasonable estimation of the furnace size needed to heat the home. To find the most efficient furnace for any given home, however, it would be best to contact an HVAC professional who can perform a load-calculation.

What is the best temperature to set your furnace?
The temperature should be set according to your comfort preferences. The temperature at which most people feel comfortable is in the range of 68°F to 72°F. Setting the furnace temperature higher will result in increased operating cost, as heat is lost through air leaks and radiation, especially when the temperatures outside are low and when it is windy. It is possible to run the furnace at much lower temperatures to save money, in the range of 58°F to 68°F, if one dresses warmly and doesn't mind wearing bulky clothing indoors during the winter. Remember that thermostats have a built-in temperature hysteresis, or "swing". Whatever temperature you choose, the furnace will operate a degree or two above and below the setpoint, so if you set the thermostat to 70°F, you'll observe the room temperature cycling between, say, 68°F and 72°F. This is normal. The hysteresis value in many electronic thermostats can be adjusted by the user according to preference. A larger hysteresis value results in the furnace cycling less frequently, but running longer once it comes on.
