Which is more economical...?

Is it more economical to leave the central heating on a constant (low) temperature all day or is it better to have it set to come on at certain times?
We currently have it set to come on in the morning and evening as we are out all day but a friend of mine says she leaves hers on all year round on a constant low temperature as she said it's cheaper as less energy is used in firing up the boiler to reach a certain temperature.
Any ideas which is best?
