68 during the day hours after work.
62 at night.
60 when no one's home but the cat.

65 from 6am to 9am, 62 from 9am to 4pm, 65 from 4pm to 11pm, then back down to 62

We much prefer cold to heat. Also, didn't we just have one of these polls a few weeks ago?

62 is usually ok. But for those nights when it's 10-20 below, it has to be turned up.

Whatever the hell 17C is. Why? I have no idea but I am damn cold in the morning and can't wait to blast the hot water in the shower.

My wife and I program ours it to 55 at night, then 66 from 5:30am-6:30am, then back to 55 then 66 from 4pm-10pm. On weekends it's 66 all day sat and sun.

Our Average Xcel bill (both gas an Elec) averages $120 in the winter and about $60 in the summer.
