Your House Temperature is ... ??

[iCyborg]

I live in a building and heat/cooling is included in condo fees. Some people abuse it, crank up heat and open windows wide, mgmt complained about it. I try to be eco-friendly to a reasonable degree.
In the summer I keep it at 24-26C. Thermostat set to 24.
In the winter it's 21-25C, with the thermostat set at 22.
Right now it's not that cold here (~5-10C), and it's 24.1C with my heating basically not turning on, just the base heat from the building, I would have to open windows to get it lower.

If I lived in a house and paid for it, I would keep it lower.
18C or lower is crazy to me, at 17-18C my fingers start getting numb from cold if I'm just sitting idly.

Yeah, hence the gloves...

65F/18C. my heating system is old, and the ductwork needs work, so my bills would be crazy high in the winter if i kept it higher.

What wut?

You didn't notice it was likely written by AI?

 

[Indus]

I go with 67F summer/ winter. That's about 19.5C for you in Europe or elsewhere.

65 is not cold to me. 55 is getting near cold.

House now is around 66 - 68.

 

[bbhaag]

75* F(23* C) in the summer and 72* F(22*C) in the winter. For the in between seasons like spring to summer and fall to winter it remains off and the windows on the house are opened to let the air inside.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

66 right now.

Here's the Right Temperature for Your Thermostat in the Winter

That might be the most misinformation I have ever read about AC. 15 to 20 degrees below the outdoor temp is max you can expect? You are not cooling the outdoor air, you are cooling the indoor air. As the indoor temp drops, the temps coming out of the ducts will also continue to drop.

A proper system will cool the air entering the return by 15 to 20 degrees. I have no issue keeping my house at 69f on a 100f day, I can go even lower, and usually do just before bed. It's called insulation and sealing. AC doesn't usually even turn on until 3 or 4 pm.

In the fall I like the heat at 63f at night, 66f during the day. As the winter gets colder, we usually end up at 64f at night, and 69f during the day. Probably the dry air.

65F in the winter. 71-72F in the summer. It used to be higher in the summer but I WFH and there’s 2 desktops and a laptop in my home office on the second floor which is about 75 when the house is set to 72F. I found out that above 75F my tolerance for BS at work goes way down lol

How the fuck is anyone gonna sleep at 82F inside temp, especially when the dew point is like 76 at night out here in Texas in the summer. Would be a 90 degree heat index. No thanks. I keep my AC between 76-78F in the daytime in summer but at night it's going 68-70F or I'd never get a minute of sleep.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Currently have the house at 77F = 25C since I don't want to turn AC on in fucking November. Since humidity is low this time of year it's comfortable with a fan running though. Will probably run my bedroom AC for an hour or so before bed to cool the room down to sleeping temperature and then just use a box fan. Will have to use my AC in the day late in the week though when we're going to be around 90F = 32C.

After Katrina we slept outside in a truck bed and I remember it was 80 that night. It was... unpleasant. 82 is absurd unless the humidity is like 10%.

This house is poorly insulated and has shit windows, so we have several "micro-climates" inside. The main living area is heated by a pellet stove. That does a decent job. A ceiling fan located almost perfectly between the pellet stove and the stairway (11' ceiling at that point) to the upstairs does a mediocre job of pushing the warm air up stairs. Each upstairs bedroom has its own Cadet electric wall heater, as does the utility/laundry room in the back of the house and the front office, but those things really suck the electricity...and can be serious fire hazards, so we try not to use them any more than necessary.

I've been sitting at the computer all morning with the stat set to 18C, and I'm feeling borderline a little too cold so I'll just put on another layer.

My wife is more sensitive, but then I've heard her complain about being cold when it was 23C in the house during the summer. I have to keep an eye on the thermostat when she's at home!

Currently 60°F. I still need to clean my chimney. It'll be fire time in a couple weeks. Haven't felt like getting on the roof, but it isn't gonna clean itself.

 

[K1052]

Low 70s but that is mostly a matter of balancing radiators I do not control vs cracked open windows.

 

[waffleironhead]

Thermostat set at 68. Really need to walk the house with a thermometer and guage the different rooms.

 

[Shmee]

I like 69 F as an ideal temperature.

Chim-chiminey, chim-chiminey, chim chim cheeree...a sweep is as lucky as lucky can be...

I should probably do my chimney too, although when I peaked in it, it didn't look too bad. Just a bit of surface soot if I put my finger on the inside. There's not enough clearance between cleanout and ground to get the rods in, so I will need to dig a hole and put in a PVC pipe with a cleanout, that will let me insert the rod into the pipe first then up and just have not gotten around to it.

Suppose to get a load of firewood delivered today, kind of a bad timing since I'm on night shift so I'll be sleeping, I hope it wakes me up when they call. It kinda defeats the purpose of a wood stove if I'm buying the wood, but think it will still end up cheaper per BTU than natural gas so guess I'll still save money. Next year I really need to prioritize harvesting and splitting my own firewood early in the year so I don't end up in this same situation. Summers just go by so fast that you blink and it's gone.
