[FoBoT]

i like the house cool, i don't care how much it costs , in winter and summer, i put the thermostat wherever i want to to feel comfortable

 

[Electric Amish]

60-65 (at the very highest)

That's comfortable right now anyway. The decision wasn't made based on cost.

72 while I'm in the house and awake, 66 while I'm asleep or at work. We've got a year old high eff. furnace w/ programable thermostat.

 

I got my vote in 🙂

58 F in my house 🙂

Even if it was two dollars a month to heat my house, it would still be set to 58 f.

70? 65? 62? Below that?

Damn, Houston has changed me. I gotta have it aroung 74-76 otherwise I think it's too cold.

*runs downstairs*
Hmm, 71... not surprisingly, my room is a lot warmer than downstairs where the thermostat is. All the computer heat, lol
Bought a new gas heat burner that's a lot more efficient than our old one... it heats up the house pretty quick. We have a fairly small house so all the bedrooms are nice and toasty.

 

[profet]

my dad keeps it at 80

 

[erub]

yup, we have free heating here, its usually about 75-78 in my aparment, thats where my roomates keep it at. It doesn't bother me that much, I just sleep with a really thin blanket. At my parent's house, my mom likes it about 67 all year.

I live in Ohio, and haven't even turned my gas on yet this year. The apartments surronding me have children, so they keep theirs rather warm, and I have a small electric space heater that runs very well, and only ups my electric about 7 bucks a month. I can normally come home from work to find my apartment heated to about 78-80 degrees.

about 68 - higher if mrs. spamela is cold, lower at night.
