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.

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.

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.

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.

66 right now.

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
