What temperature do you keep your house in the winter?

[Miramonti]

62F, (60@nite)

 

[Jeff7]

Um... so Jeff agrees: hotter in the winter because of humidity.

Once I did the math correctly, it looks like I was rather wrong.

Dicks⁴ - Balls⁴ != (Dicks - Balls)⁴

68

 

[jupiter57]

75 during the day, 65 at night.
Us old farts get cold!!!!

What's a winter?

 

[Rubycon]

It was something of a side statement, mostly to point out that I may have already addressed the concern about humidity.

I love how it gets dry in winter around here. I live about a half mile from a lake, so it gets humid here, moreso than I like. Winter is a nice reprieve. Dry enough that clothing dries in the time it takes to fold it right out of the washer. Well....ok, not quite. But that would sure be a timesaver.
(Though probably not as humid as being out on the ocean, I'm sure. [Yeah, that's right, more parentheses. {And check this out too: I'm using brackets and braces, in reverse algebraic hierarchy, no less.}])

"If you can't hear me sometimes, that's because I'm in parentheses."





How do you mean? Condensation on uninsulated sections inside the house?

Same here, though not so cold that my face ends up freezing in the night. Or I end up kicking the covers off and wake up with cold feet.

Yes windows will sweat/freeze in extreme cold if indoor humidity is too high.

Use a larger quilt or comforter, silly! The risk of toes getting uncovered is rare that way unless you're a crazy tosser and turner. 16 hours work/day + rocking ship = sleep like baby for me! :biggrin:

Basement, 60. Living room, 68. Kitchen, 65. My bedroom, ~60. My roommate's bedroom, I swear he is a menopause woman cause it is hot as hell in there.

Real men don't heat their house in the winter

I tend to kick in the night, as evidenced by:
- Feet constantly being uncovered.
- My cats at some point stopped sleeping on the bed with me. They'd be there when the lights were on, but as soon as the lights went out, they'd jump off and sleep on the floor. :\

I do weird stuff with the blankets sometimes. The layers are: Flannel sheet, knitted afghan, and comforter.
Some mornings, I'll wake up and the middle layer, the afghan, is neatly in a crumpled line along the side of the entire length of the bed, while the sheet and comforter are still neatly on me, as if I hadn't moved at all throughout the night.
Maybe I'm periodically possessed by an obsessive ghost.

 

[Anubis]

65-68 depending on the time of day. Colder at night, warm when people are not asleep

 

[Deeko]

68 winter, 75 summer, 60 at night and during the work day.

 

[BAMAVOO]

Wow really? We set our to whatever, usually 68-72 in the summer and 74-76 in the winter. We go up and down on how we feel.

 

[Gunslinger08]

Used to be 64 to 66. Raised it to 68 this year for dog, at least for now.

Dog can't handle the 2 degree difference?

 

[The-Noid]

73 all year round. Try to keep relative humidity around 35&#37; in the winter and around 50% in the summer.

 

[rasczak]

we don't use a heater or AC. I live about 2 miles from the coast.

 

[classy]

68 During the day. 72 at night.

 

[JTsyo]

74 since the kids were born.

 

[Drako]

Winter 64

Summer 74

 

[Baked]

While there's radiant heating on the ceiling of my condo, I don't set anything for summer or winter. Everything's controlled by opening and closing of the windows.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I usually keep it 66-68.

I would keep it cooler, but my basement is usually 5-10 degrees cooler than that, and that's where the home theater is, and the GF gets too cold...

 

[WelshBloke]

18 during the day, 20 first thing in the morning and before bed, cool as I can get it at night.

That's pretty kinky!
However with all that wasted kinetic energy perhaps you can devise a way to use it to charge up a bank of cells to keep things of convenience running! :awe:

 

[Engineer]

Between 68-70 or so. If it's bitter cold out, might lower it a tad and 'suck it up'.

 

[William Gaatjes]

Under zero. Makes the best come out of me.
