What is wrong if you have a digital thermostat in your house with zoned heat and air and the heat and air work fine on the thermostat upstairs but there is no heat on the downstairs?
There is either a problem with the downstairs thermostat, or the wiring from that thermostat to the unit. First check the batteries in the thermostat. Yes the digital ones have batteries. :-) Next, if that doesn;t fix it, try switching your two thermostats. Be careful to wire them exactly as they were before. If your heat now works downstairs and not upstairs, replace the thermostat. If the problem remains unchanged and you still have heat up and not down - check your thermostat wiring. The voltage is low so a simple voltmeter can be used to confirm continuity from the end where it goes into the furnace to the end where it connects to the thermostat. If the wire checks out and the problem is not the thermostat, then call a licnesed professinal - youhave bigger problems.

Should you turn your thermostat on and off to save money and energy?
You can, but a better idea is to get a programmable thermostat. The main problem with turning off the thermostat is that you'll turn on your thermostat first thing in the morning, and by the time the house gets to a comfy temperature, you're already leaving for work - so you don't get to enjoy the benefits of all the energy spent. That's silly. Program the thermostat turn up the heat before you get out of bed, and to turn it off before you leave for work. Likewise, program it to have the house warm when you get home. That's the whole reason you have a heater. With the programmable thermostat, your house is warm when you're there and cold when you're not, and you don't wait for the heater to catch up. Enjoy. With that said, it's a common misconception that the energy consumed in re-heating or re-cooling a building is greater than is consumed when maintaining a desired level. This misconception has been dispelled by years of research and numerous studies. Your heater's efficiency is roughly constant, so the total energy used depends on how much heat the house is giving off - and a cold house gives off less heat than a warm one. The long time your heater runs to reheat the house may feel wasteful but it is cancelled by the long time the heater is off as the house cools down - tests have shown that very little is gained or lost in the process. So, the longer your house remains at the lower temperature, the more energy you save. The difference is minuscule if you only shut it off for a couple hours, but it's a big deal if you step out for the weekend. Bottom line, turn off the thermostat when you'll be out all day and then some, but for regular day to day stuff you'll be happier (and just as frugal) programming your heater to handle the warming and cooling for you.
