What temperature do you keep your house in the winter?

[arcenite]

Was doing 68 for a little while... trying 67 now.

 

[waggy]

it's set for 68 during the day and 64 at night

 

[Dr. Zaus]

76 all winter 72 all summer.

Why wouldn't you?

76 all winter 72 all summer.

Why wouldn't you?

Because if you're comfortable at 72 in the summer then why would you put it at 76 in the winter?

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Because if you're comfortable at 72 in the summer then why would you put it at 76 in the winter?

It's slightly drafty, so I compensate.

I'm happy between 72 and 76; so I keep it a little warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

I was in Orlando and the weather man said that 82 was going to be "shorts weather"... I couldn't stop laughing.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

66.

Oh I get it. So you tried to bait me, huh.

 

[arcenite]

66.

How about at night?

70

If we're cold we can go downstairs and sit by the fireplace.

70 or 60? 70 is generally not regarded as cold...

 

[murphy55d]

71 during the day when we're home and 64 at night/while we're at work.

 

[arcenite]

Those who set it at 64 at night, any reason you don't go lower? I put mine at 60 and use a spaceheater... I guess it only makes sense if you only have one room occupied at night and that room happens to have a bathroom as well.

To my tiny wife it is.

 

[Pardus]

80

I'd have to check, but I think we let it drop to either 64 or 62 at night.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

To my tiny wife it is.

My friend's wife claims it is "cold" in the house when it is 83.

 

[RedRooster]

I think about 23 when we're there and 19-20 overnight. When it gets down to -50 overnight, letting the house to much under 20 on the thermostat feels WAY colder than 20.

 

[Zeze]

Gas is free at our apartment. And there is no thermostat.

So I open the oven door and turn it on to 400 degrees. I keep it on until the whole place is toasty.

Somewhere between 72 and 74. Central AC/Heating in this house kind of sucks hard to get it to evenly heat. Also, I'm pretty thin and have hypothyroidism.

 

[mshan]

68 heat; 77 ac.

I think you should keep heat at least 55 (I have seen others say 65) in winter to hopefully prevent water in pipes in walls from freezing and bursting pipes, and also drip the faucets if there is a particularly cold spell in your area.

If you have hardwood floors, extremes of temperature or humidity can warp the floors, but I would guess that might be more likely if you lost all power and heat in deep winter for an extended period of time.

 

[Leros]

I generally set the A/C to 72 and heat to 68.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

It hate it when places overcompensate for the seasons; why are they cooler in the summer when we're more apt to wear less clothing and thus be chilled, and warmer in the winter when more more likely to wear coats and layers and thus be too hot. Its completely stupid.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Don't have air con, so depends on how cold/hot it gets outside. Room temp goes from about 4°C to about 26 over a year.[FONT=&quot]

[CurseTheSky]

Heat is at 68 (usually between late September and late March), AC is at 74 (mid June to late August).
