Even if the thermostat is in another room, you are releasing some heat out that open window. This means that the furnace (or boiler) will have to run longer to make up for that loss of heat, and the room in which the thermostat is located will take longer to come up to the set point of the thermostat.

Are new electric baseboard heaters more economical than those made in the 1970's?
Not really. Baseboard heaters are rated in watts. W = Amps x Volts has not changed since electricity came into being. What has changed are some of the designs of the baseboard heaters. Some heat oil in the baseboard heaters, which dissipate the heat out at a more even heat. On the market now are new types of thrermostats that pulse the baseboard heaters for a more regulated heat rather just turning them on when the thermostat calls for heat and turns them off when the thermostat is satisfied.
Why is heat loss bad?
heat loss is bad because you waste more money for heating bills, waste more fossil fuels and help global warming
Is it more energy efficient to raise the AC thermostat during the day then cooling down the house at the end of the workday or leaving the thermostat at the lower temperature all day?
Typically it is more efficient (and cheaper) to use a set back thermostat. Here is the most basic reason. The rate at which heat is gained or lost by a home or building depends on the difference in temperature between the indoors and the outdoors. Setting the temperature back (higher in the summer and lower in the winter) decreases this temperature difference and thus the total amount of heat gained or lost by the building. When you raise your AC thermostat during the day when no one is home and then cool the house back down in the evening, the total amount of heat removed by the AC during this cycle is less then if you left it cool for the entire time.
How is kinetic energy related to heat production?
Friction creates heat when an object rubs against another very quickly. So, if the kinetic energy is higher, then there is a more higher chance of heat production.
What is another name for limescale in kettles?
The limescale is a poor conductor of heat and makes the boiling of water more difficult and expensive. The limescale affects heat transfer.
What object will take in more heat a single-pane window or a double-pane window?
The double pane window should be more efficient in keeping heat out. However, there is also more heat transfer from the frames if they are metal rather than vinyl. And the surface area of the double pane window is greater so it takes more time for the energy to be absorbed than the single pane window....I think:( My friend told me this information
Why does car heat up when idling and cool down when moving?
It is more than likely a thermostat
Why won't my Goodman air conditioner turn on?
This one is hard to answer without more infos, such as the model number, or type of AC (heat pump, window unit, etc.) For now, check to make sure it's getting the proper electricity (there should be a nameplate on it somewhere that describes what and how to feed it) as well as 24V control power to the thermostat. Also check the thermostat wiring. Obviously, you won't have control power if it's a window unit, but you will for a heat pump. Troubleshooting this stuff isn't hard, but it does take some time and reasoning efforts.
What does a thermostat do if it gets too cool?
the thermostat will gain more heat because when it gets cool it rises temperature so it can do its job keep a certain area warm.
Why does a room heat up or cool down?
the heater may be turned on more people more heat if window opened it gets colder and less people in the room less heat
Where is the heat regulator in your Ford Escort?
Actually, the heat regulator for the engine is the thermostat. It closes off the coolant when the engine is cold and circulates more coolant when the engine is hot.
Why does my car have weak heat?
Could use more info about the vehicle but a good place to start would be to replace the thermostat.
Your 1992 Pontiac gran prix does not heat up quickly?
If you are talking about the engine temp then more than likely your thermostat is stuck open or if you recently changed it the heat range is not proper causing it to open prematurely and not allow the engine to heat up. Change the thermostat and this should take care of the problem. Hope this helps. "G"

Which setting should iuse on electric thermostat heat or em heat what is differnce?
These two settings are found when you have a heat pump. Using the "Heat" mode uses the heat pump capabilities alone. Using em heat, turns on conventional electric coils to create more heat (and run up your electric bill)
Lack of heat could i have an air lock in radiator of your 1994 f150?
more likely to need a new thermostat in engine , than an air lock.
Why is air in a double pane window?
The air in a double pane window is actually more likely an inert gas such as carbon dioxide, argon or krypton. This gas is important because it conducts heat less than glass which makes the window a better insulator. This keeps the heat in during the winter and the cold air in during the summer.
