I've always had to turn off the thermostat at night in the winter. The air is way too dry otherwise. Even when I lived in Boston, I'd just pile on the blankets. Made it really hard to get out of bed in the mornings before smart thermometers.

I'm in LA and it gets really hot in the summer but the best part of being in a dry climate is that it almost always gets down into the '60s at night even if it was 99° during the day. Windows are open all night here.

If it's above 70 at night here, It means it's probably over 100° or we've got some weird high levels of humidity like the marine layer coming in.

72 in the daytime, 70 at night. I can't fall asleep if it's cold at all -- and yes I'm wearing pajamas and socks and have multiple blankets. Anything lower than 70 and I literally lay there awake for an hour or more shivering.

I'm miserable year-round anyway because it's either cold outside, or everywhere I go the A/C is set to frigid.

I hate when people say "well you can always add more layers!" because no, there's a physical limit and it doesn't help everyone anyway.

My wife's Asian, and I lived in the E/SE Pacific for over a decade. Give me some warm humid never changing weather. Plus I don't exactly have a lot of insulation. I keep it around 73 all the time (it's 76 in my home office room right now while 19 outside - all the hardware creates its own heat space). Fuck the cost. We've got whole house solar, but I literally break out in hives when my skin gets too cold. Luckily prevented my dad from getting stationed in Alaska when I was young.

At my grandmother's 101st birthday last week, it was actually pretty warm until everyone started leaving and I glanced over and saw it was set to 68. Cooled off pretty quick. Not too bad, but I put on my coat. Didn't think much until I walked in to my living room and realized how relaxing it was.

Kayki7@reddit

We live in an upstairs apartment, where the thermostat is located in the downstairs unit. We don’t have easy access to it. We have to call the landlord to come and raise or lower it when needed, as the unit has been empty for years.

Our solution was to keep it set around 62 degrees, and then we have a couple of space heaters around the house (I have an electric DuraFlame wood stove-style heater in the living room and a regular electric space heater in the bedroom) and we just turn those on when we get cold. Turn them off when we get warm etc.

We live in the Great Lakes Region, so we have cold, snowy winters, but this system has worked very well for us for the past 5 years. We could theoretically keep the thermostat higher, but we’ve noticed that if it’s set any higher than 65 degrees, our upstairs apartment turns into a furnace. It gets up to over 80 degrees upstairs. We’re opening windows lol.

[-]

Jasnah_Sedai@reddit

Also in Maine. We have an old leaky house, so no matter what temp we set, actual indoor temp will vary widely throughout the house. We set to 68 simply because we have a lot of pets who are not Mainers and need warmer temps lol. It’s easier to heat the house than regulate the temps in a dozen cages. I’ll set it a little lower if I can get away with it on a sunny day without wind. If it were just me in here, I’d be okay with the low 60s, but not the 50s. Idk why 59 feels so much colder to me than 60, but I’m sure it’s just in my head. But I’m from away, having only lived in Maine for 15 years, so I’m definitely not as tough lol.

Live in a climate that gets well below freezing in winter (I heard -15F next week, that will suck).

We keep it 66-70F during the day(usually only 70 for 20 minutes or so and just to take the chill off when the sun goes down).

At night we drop it to 63-64F. I can't sleep when it's too hot, and there's always nice warm comforters/blankets. I'd drop it lower but there's actually an efficiency point where you can drop it TOO cold and your furnace has to work too hard to bring it back up to temp.

I'm in Southern California, It's usually around 70 during the day and 40s at night and we don't turn on the heat because we like sleeping cold. I do have a space heater in my room for when I wake up and get dressed and stuff. Otherwise it's really not that bad. And we don't even have insulation cuz our house was built in the 40s.

People who don't live in climates like this also don't realize that even in the winter it's sunny and the UV index is high enough to give you a sunburn even if it's only like 60 out, so that also helps keep the house warm enough. Myself and my three roommates are all from either the East Coast or the Midwest so we can handle it.

Even if we did turn the heat on, we literally have one register in the main kitchen/living room where the thermostat is, so our bedrooms would be a million degrees by the time the main living area heated up.

My parents in Indiana keep it at 73°, my grandparents In the same town keep it at 78° It's absolutely ridiculous.

I wouldn't turn on a heater in winter if I wasn't living with my grandma. I have it 60 at night and 65 during the day. Sometimes she feels cold and I raise it to 70.

It gets colder where I live now, but it doesn't drop below freezing often. This winter we had a week with frost on the ground.

Sacramento suburbs. In winter we keep it at 63 during the day and 59 at night. For reference, this week the lows have been in the mid to lower 30s. However, our house is only 1300 square feet and we fairly recently had a shit ton of insulation sprayed in the attic.

[-]

Jswazy@reddit

I don't use my heater at all most winters since I live in South Texas. The house is normally at the lowest 60. If it drops into the 50s and that's very rare I put the heat on to 63.

Have to save money to run the AC at 69 for 7 months if the year.

Quadcrasher66@reddit

I set my ac in the summer to 78. Any lower and it get way too expensive. Idk how you do 69

[-]

Destructive-Angel@reddit

If you have a smaller house with good insulation, it’s not all that expensive to run 68-72F during the summer in Texas. I average around $140-160/mo in the peak summer months in a ~1300sqft, single-level home. Granted, I happen to know I have R13 fiberglass insulation in the walls with rigid foam board insulation right under the siding. I can’t recall the R rating for the board. Also had new insulation blown into the attic.

[-]

hx87@reddit

My parents in Houston recently replaced the black asphalt roof with white standing seam panels, stapled a radiant barrier sheet to the bottom of the rafters, moved the water heater and HVAC out of the attic and blew 14 inches of cellulose on the attic floor. It's soooooo cheap to keep the house at 68F even in August now.

patticakes1952@reddit

My daughter lived in Houston when they lost power during a cold spell a few years ago. My other daughter was in San Antonio at that time. Both the houses they lived in had no insulation to speak of. My daughter in SA said it was 33* in her bedroom one night.

[-]

hazelowl@reddit

I'm in Houston with crap insulation and we fortunately kept power the whole time except for about 16 hours overnight and it was STILL in the 50s in my house because our heater just could not keep up (plus we also have a house with a 2-story living room and floor to ceiling windows along that wall).

We've replaced the ductwork since then but haven't made it to the insulation yet, hopefully we'll fare better this time.

[-]

catdogwoman@reddit

Why do you think we will lose power? My understanding is that it was an overload on the system and they fixed it. I moved to Houston in 2023.

Fury161Houston@reddit

Maybe we won't. When Beryl's first slight gust came through my area power went out for 4 days. The winter freeze was also for 4 days. I live in a condo, all electric and can't use generators. Parents live 30 minutes away and have whole house generator but they keep it at 76-78. Too hot for me anytime of the year.

[-]

theoracleofdreams@reddit

plus side, it will be cold here, just put your perishables in coolers, and stick them outside with something heavy on top to keep animals out.

At least you won't lose much food as opposed during Beryl, where our house had power, but a tree through the roof, and my parents had no power, so we moved a giant deep freeze to my house to keep perishables safe.

[-]

testmonkeyalpha@reddit

I never turned on my heat for years while in my condo in Chicago. It was so freaking hot that I left the window cracked open throughout the window even when it was below zero outside. It'd still be 80+. Then the hot water radiant heating pipes in the ceiling leaked and during the repairs I found out that the pump for the heater was stuck on so it was essentially set to the highest temp year round. My electric bill in the summer was less than half the year before after we fixed that.

[-]

Gladyskravitz99@reddit

This is pretty much me in Alabama, too. Except I love it cold -especially while sleeping - and typically turn my heat completely off at night unless it's supposed to get down into the 20s. I'll put it on 60 during the day. So usually I wake up and it's 57 degrees in my house (and my windows are open in the bedroom), and 60 tops when I turn my heater off again a few hours before bed.

In the summer, though, my AC is running absolutely non-stop. I can stand about 73 during the day, but in the height of August heat, it will never get the temps down to 67 at night if I set it that high during the day. It's horrible but sleep experts recommend a cold room for sleep (mid 60s at most), so it's not just a preference thing.

[-]

ArbysLunch@reddit

Look into a solar powered mini split heat pump, like this:

https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-hybrid-solar-mini-split-kit-energy-star-certified-air-conditioner-heat-pump-ac-dc-24000-btu-seer2-21-3150-watts-of-solar-pv-kit-e0012/

Assuming you have unshaded southern facing roof space. Let the mini split run all day on 65 while the central AC is set at 78 or higher. They do not have to tie into your house electric as long as you're happy with it only working during the day. When demand and prices drop in the evening, set the central AC to whatever.

Since they're heat pumps, they can make heat, too. Handy if/when your grid goes down in the winter. During the day, at least.

[-]

observantpariah@reddit

Hah. Came here to say this exact thing but in North Texas. I set it at 55 and it never goes below 60.

[-]

Destructive-Angel@reddit

Similar here. Northern Texas. Only time the heat is thrown on in the winter is when it drops into the 40’s and below. Wear more layers or use blankets if ya feeling cold otherwise.

Summer however is another game. That AC is on and somewhere between 68-72F.

IWantALargeFarva@reddit

55??? I would divorce you. That’s insane.

[-]

finchdad@reddit

Even while buried in a warm bed? With smart thermostats you can have the heat turn on before you even get up. It's so refreshing to be warm in bed but breathing cool air.

However, anyone's house that manages to drop from 68F to 55F in one night needs more insulation, that's a crazy amount of temperature fluctuation unless it is like...single digits or below zero outside.

[-]

medium_green_enigma@reddit

Not insane for me. I've endured worse on camping trips. I can't stand the thought of paying to heat the house while I'm snug in bed with a heavy comforter.

When I get up I turn up the furnace, feed the feral cats, make coffee, and then huddle under a big lap blanket and pashmina shawl. I sip my coffee and do various puzzles and games on my tablet while my brain wakes up and the house warms.

Same state, same temperatures, but we cover the heat register in our room with a pillow so we can sleep cooler than that while not freezing all the kids, pets, and houseplants. And during the summer when it is hot outside we run the a/c at 72 because I can't afford to keep the house cooler than that. When I visit people who have their summer a/c set to like 78 I literally cannot sleep. I lie on top of the bed sweating while staring at the ceiling.

SW PA. 68 is warmer that I'd prefer it if I'm actually moving around doing stuff at home but that's about where it usually is for us. But my wife would absolutely murder me if I set the thermostat to 55°. Most nights she's wearing multiple, long, warm layers and under blankets while I lay atop the sheets in shorts and maybe a t-shirt on the verge of sweating so we struggle to find a compromise. But there's no way it's going that far down.

NJ and similar here.

68-70 during the day in the winter, down to 62 at night.

Summer is another story because we have a split level house and our bedroom is upstairs. One day we’ll have the $$$ to redo the central air and fix the temperature difference, which as much as 15 degrees sometimes. My office is downstairs and I’m the only one at home during the day, so I set the upstairs air at 75+ so that I don’t freeze in my cave!

68 or 69, but i’ll bump it to 70 when the temp goes way below zero because our house is old and the insulation kinda blows.

[-]

Liakada@reddit

In my opinion, the colder a climate, the cooler the house can be kept. When it’s winter, I’m dressing warmer anyway, so I can also keep the house temperature lower so that I don’t start sweating in my layers. In the summer / warmer climate, I wear only one light layer, so I can keep the temperature much higher.

Not dressing for the season and keeping the same temperature year round sounds crazy to me. Putting on an extra sweater is free. That’s money I can spend on something else that I can’t get for free.

arcticmischief@reddit

When I lived in Alaska: 68 during the day, 55 at night.

As i’ve lived down south longer and gotten older, I find I prefer warmer temperatures during the day. In winter, I generally keep the house about 72 while I am up and working. Sometimes even then, having a space heater on me feels nice.

During summer, I basically kill the air conditioner when I wake up, and the house settles in the mid 70s, and then I turned the air conditioner on when I go to bed.

I still like it cool when I sleep, though. I have a portable room air conditioner (the kind with the hose that goes out the window) that I run at its minimum of 61° in summer. In winter, I cracked the window and it will sometimes get down into the low 50s in the room. I just find myself sleeping best when the ambient temperature is chilly but I have a nice pile of blankets on top of me. If I try to keep the room warmer and have fewer blankets, I find I have a hard time getting comfortable.

55?? I’d be absolutely freezing using every blanket in the house! I’d never get out of bed.

arcticmischief@reddit

It was a little warmer outside last night, so my bedroom was 64 when I woke up, and I woke up drenched in sweat. Of course, I had a sheet, a duvet, and a blanket on top of the duvet all piled on top of me. Duvets are amazing for sleeping in cold rooms! maybe that's why they're the bedding of choice in Scandinavia. You just need more and better blankets!

[-]

sewingkitteh@reddit

I have a duvet and a sheet and two other blankets. Why would I sleep in the cold if I can have heating on?

[-]

arcticmischief@reddit

You do you. I'm just reporting what I find comfortable. I cannot sleep in a warm room with a thin blanket. I find it impossible to sleep without the weight and warmth of thick blankets above me (sometimes I even put a gravity blanket on top of the bed). But having the thick blankets that make me feel cozy enough to sleep requires a cool room to avoid sweating.

Same but remember the temperature at the location of the thermostat isn't necessarily the temperature in the various rooms. You need to keep it at whatever temp keeps you comfortable.

We also live in a mild climate.

We lived in Connecticut for 7 years, and kept our thermostat at 62 during winter. We'd planned for this in advance, so we had enough sweaters, light weight thermal underwear, and a wood burning stove. In summer, we had no A.C. as it was rarely 90 F, but mostly in the 80s. We had a whole house fan which cooled us. Now we live in the Sonoran Desert (Tucson), and we keep the home at 67 F in the winter and 77 F in the summer (A.C.). It's dry, so no humidity to suffer through here. Winter mornings are often 30 to 40 F as it is a desert, but afternoons average 65 F to 70 F in winter, so it's nice.

Well, the thermostat is set to 80, but that’s because it’s directly under the largest heating vent that’s closest to the furnace. The rest of my house, I couldn’t say, but I can tell you my work laptop gives me a “battery too cold” warning every time I turn it on in the morning…

We use a woodburner and have an unlimited supply of good firewood. Our house is normally about 76 degrees. We have an oil furnace as a backup set to kick on at 72. It only does once a day at about 4am. Our house is so toasty that when we have a dinner party of 8 or more we need to crack a window.

CoralReefer1999@reddit

I don’t turn on my heater at all during the day it’s about 65F at night it’s somewhere between 30-50F. The only time my home gets heated is after I’m done using the oven & I’ve turned it off I open the oven door all the way. My pge bill was $50 or less every month during this winter. This really helps because during the summer it’s an average temp of 100f-115F so we spend a lot more using the air conditioning otherwise we’d get heat stroke.

Year round about 72F. Occasionally in the summer it'll be turned to 71 or 70 (but not likely as we also have extra portable AC in the bedrooms for getting a slightly lower temp for sleeping). In the winter, occasionally 73 or 74, but we have blankets and stuff, and some of those portable AC also have heat functions.

Gonna see what this next summer is like tho. Got a new roof and vents and stuff so .. should be easier to maintain versus the 110F Texas heat.

On the coldest nights we can leave the thermostat at 67 because it will kick in and keep the radiators warm and the whole house will feel relatively warm because of that. But ironically on nights when it's raw but not really frigid, those are the worst because the thermostat never wants to kick in and the radiators stay cold, so then I bump it up to 70 or even 72 to force it on and get the raw chill out of the air.

The temperature setting for home comfort is highly dependent on the relative humidity. The more moisture in the air, the more heat is retained and the warmer you feel. We used to keep our thermostat at 72 degrees Fahrenheit during the day while it was freezing outside, but since I set up three humidifiers in my home to get it to 40% relative humidity, we can lower the temperature to 68 and still feel comfortable, saving some energy. The nightly setback temp is 64 degrees.

Most homes here don't have air conditioning, and we only had a heat pump installed a couple years ago, after an unprecedented heat wave.

We have a thermostat war at home. My husband keeps the house at 66 when we’re not home during the day. It’s 68 when we’re home, but I constantly walk by the thermostat and jack it up to 72. He’ll notice and turn it down and I’ll turn it back up.

Neither one of us say a word to each other about it except occasionally I’ll whine, “I’m cold,” and he’ll sigh and take his phone out and turn it up at little - normally to 70. We also have an electric heater in our bedroom and two electric blankets.

In the summer, he wears shorts and tees in the house and I’m fine with the temp at 72 as well.

I know it’s a money thing for him because every once in a while, he’ll whine, “ugh, it’s too hot in here,” and turn the house down to 68.

It’s super funny. We’ve been married for 20 years and there are certain “fights” that become comfortable.

Roughly this, 21-22°C.

My apartment complex uses radiant in floor hydronic heat. Centralized boilers, under floor hosing, really cheap to run, pain in the ass for them to maintain. Takes an hour or so to start noticing it. Once it hits 73 and shuts off, the hot water in the hoses continues to radiate, usually stops around 75-76 in here.

It helps that our walls are around R26. Southern Colorado, SLV.

Boilers are gas, nothing else, residents only have electric to worry about, complex eats the gas bill. I might pay $40/mo for electric, use around 10kwh/day.

The downside to this is I have no built in AC (not a problem up here), and no air changer/filtration. Farts will haunt you.

autophage@reddit

My house is poorly insulated, but we have a ductless mini-split heat pump setup. That means that we can heat or cool different rooms different amounts; what we set them to depends somewhat on which room we're talking about. (For example, my office is above an uninsulated garage. I keep that room set to 78 degrees F. It rarely reaches that temperature through most of the room, usually settling at around 68-70. The den, on the other hand, is better-insulated, and we usually set it to 72, which it maintains pretty comfortably)

We also adjust these based on whether we're in the room in question. If it's someplace central, we tend to keep it comfortable (which might be a setting of 72, or might be 68 or 70 if it's getting good sunlight). If it's a room that's rarely occupied - eg, the basement - we might leave it at 66.

California here. In the winter it'll drop to about 40 in my area at night. We turn the heater off.

Temp is usually in the low 60s overnight inside but can sink to the upper 50s depending on the humidity levels and other factors.

Anything above 64 is impossible for sleeping anyway.

We don't really "keep" the house at any particular temperature. We just engage the AC/heater when it fezels too hot or too cold. However, overnight we generally don't have anything running.

Sataypufft@reddit

For the winter time I do 65-67 during the day and 62 when everyone is asleep. It pops it back up to 66 at 530 am and I wake up from the heat, no alarm clock needed.

In the summer it's set to 74 indoors during the day and drops down to 70 overnight so I can sleep better.

Our summers are usually generally high 80s-mid 90s with 70% humidity and occasional days over 100. Winter temps are usually right around freezing during the day with a week here and there down to single digit temps and overnight it's usually in the mid 20s.

[-]

BrownDogEmoji@reddit

Typically in the winter (Ohio), we keep it 66-68°. When it gets below 20°F outside for a long enough stretch, we put it at 68°. If it gets below 10° for more than a day, we might move it up to 70°, but that doesn’t happen often (except this winter).

In the summer we keep the AC at around 75° and only turn it down for extended stretches above 95°.

I grew up without any AC and in houses that were not well heated. Not spending money when the easiest fix is to put on a sweater or to grab a cold drink.

I live in the south east US. We are having a cold for us winter (lows high 20s and highs mid 40s-50s). We of course had a hot summer with lows 80s and highs mid 90s

As I type this I am sitting on my screened porch wearing thermals,sweats and a puffy jacket. If I am home I am generally outside as my house is dark.

Winter I keep the thermostat at 63 F. I have a heat pump and when the temps get close to freezing the heat seems to never stop running. From 6 pm to 9 pm I have it programmed at 66 F because that is the time I am most likely inside just sitting

In the summer I set the thermostat for 83 F during the day and at 6 pm it is programmed for 78 F (6pm-8 am)

Until this year my highest electricity bill was $180 ish. I know the power company raised their rates but this year I’m paying closer to $280 during peak heat and cold seasons (which is a lot).

Outside of Pittsburgh, 100 year old house with no insulation to speak of.

We’re currently renovating the house next door to live in permanently, and one of the things we are doing with the open walls is putting in insulation before we put drywall where the plaster used to be. I also have rafters above the second floor bedrooms I’m going to rent a blower and fill with spray insulation. In a few years when we replace the siding I’m going to have one of those companies that drills a hole in the wall and fills the space between the studs with foam come and that’ll really help keep it at a nice temperature.

Middle of Michigan here, so it's 21F currently. We keep the house around 68-70 when we're up, and let it drop to 60-ish overnight while we sleep. Since thermostats are central, you do find that when it gets very cold the termostat might read 68, but in a corner room it might be more like 63. I think that's something worth mention. You see people running around in sweaters and might think the house is set to a lower temp, but it's actually the same or even higher, but with possibly a lot more variability as the outside temp and inside temp deviate.

Midwest here. I think 68-69 is the sweet spot in my house. It really depends on the house, though. I grew up in a really old farmhouse and we kept it at 71, but the only place that was actually that temperature was the room the thermostat was in. Leaky windows, settled insulation, etc caused variances in other parts of the house. Even in my current house which is fairly new, the bedroom over the garage gets cold on the really cold days. The original owners didn't section out the HVAC to control it better though so there's not much we can do.

Winter: 70 day, 66 night Summer: 70 day, 62 night

This was roughly the optimal configuration for avoiding daytime cooling in the summer and running the furnace too long to warm the house back up in the winter. We would prefer it cooler at night year-round and usually open a window to chill our bedroom further. I wish we had more precise control of each room, as a lot is wasted trying to keep the downstairs warm enough in the winter and upstairs bearable in the summer.

msabeln@reddit

I live near St. Louis, Missouri, and the climate classification is “humid subtropical”, so air conditioning is needed for comfort, more for removing the humidity in the air. I keep the temperature around 76° F.

But winter tends to be cool to cold, frequently below freezing, with very dry air, so I run a couple of humidifiers and keep the furnace temperature at about 68°. I once tried lowering the temperature to 60, but my pipes started to freeze.

73-74F. I feel bad because it consumes energy, increases the bill and yeah not very green.

However, I really don't know what to do because we rent. The apartment is not very well insulated and the heat is not well distributed.

The thermostat says 74F and I still wear a winter long PJ in cotton + a heavy fleece sweater or a hoodie on top, plus extra thick winter socks. If I don't do it I get so cold that sometimes my feet turn a violet hue.

The good thing is that on the other hand I rarely turn on AC in summer. 78-79F is still pleasant to me.

Mostly 68. What I love about winter though is how easy it is to control and vary the temperature.

So when I first get up I may increase the temperature to 72 before dropping it down to 70 then back to 68 as I get going. The cold outside temperatures allow far faster cooling than AC in the summer.

And I usually block off my bedroom to get it into the low to mid 50s. I sleep so much better with low temperatures and a nice comforter than moderate temperatures and a light blanket.

69 during the day and 64 at night. I've gone lower depending on the day. Colorado weather is weird.

66 or 67 here in Bend, Oregon. We use a pellet stove and have a heat pump for backup. We like it cool in the house.

South Florida here. Heat is set to 60 F year round. Cold is never set below 70 F. If you are cold, get a jacket or blanket, I'm loving every second I'm saving money with the A/C not running.

I'd set the heat to come on lower, but I figure the dogs appreciate me keeping it 60 or more.

My heat came on for 34 minutes in 2024. Only 10 minutes in 2023. Hasn't kicked in yet for 2025.

Welcome break from 15-16 hours a day of running the A/C March through November to keep it under 80 F.

In San Francisco- warm the house up to 67 in the morning. 68/69 if showering. 62 at night

AwesomeWhiteDude@reddit

50-55 because I'm poor and the house I'm in has no or very little insulation

pfcgos@reddit

I'm in Wyoming, and for context this weekend we're expecting high temps of 11 degrees.

I have my thermostat set to keep my house between 53⁰F and 65⁰F.

Pac NW- winter heater is kept at 67 or 68 in the winter, 66 when I sleep. Summer AC at 68

Happy_Nutty_Me@reddit

Nebraska here.

In the winter, we (I) keep the temp around 62F/64F during the day and about 52/54F at night.

In the summer, the thermostat is set to 66/67F.

California 15 miles/24 km from Pacific Ocean probably doesn’t get below 65 in my apartment not sure because my heat is broken

66 all year

Single-Raccoon2@reddit

I'm in Southern California. When the temps drop, we have the thermostat set at 66-68. Most nights, we turn it way down or off and use an electric space heater in the bedroom.

Mid 60s if I'm lucky. There really isn't much of a need for a heater here in Phoenix.

74.

reddit_understoodit@reddit

55 is the lowest your heat should be if it is going below 32 degrees. So I put mine there while using my electric blanket. I am plenty warm. I have fingerless gloves handy for my phone browsing.

[-]

JMS1991@reddit

68 year-round, heat or AC (most of the year is AC)

[-]

redditsuckspokey1@reddit

On really cold days 75. On slightly above/below freezing, 70F.

[-]

SomethingClever70@reddit

Mild climate here. I keep daytime temp at 69 (let the jokes begin), and nighttime I turn it down to 64 or so. 66-68 sounds pretty chilly to me.

Coastal New England.

62-65 (our thermostats are good old fashioned non-digital ones so we’re not precise). Split-level home with 3 zones. The lowest main level- ground floor is usually set to the warmest temperature of the 3- progressively set lower as you go up levels. This works out nicely as I’m usually in my office which is on the top floor- my PC keeps me pretty toasty and we like to sleep cold. We will make it warmer if we have guests.

The basement is finished but not directly heated. The furnace puts off enough heat on its own. We don’t soend a lot of time down there, yet. That reminds me, I still need to get that radon detector… anyway!

Probably spend $1,400-$1,600 a year in oil. Fill around December/Jan then again in March/April unless we can stretch it to the summer. Heating and hot water are both via the oil furnace.

Usually about 70F in SoCal.

DerekL1963@reddit

Pacific NW, one bedroom apartment. We keep the living/dining room and kitchen at 68° and the bedroom at 65°. (We don't turn down the heat at night because we have pets that need to be kept warm.)

Midwest - 67 during the day and 64/63 at night

About 62 degrees. I live near Seattle. It's cool but not usually cold here.

dontlookback76@reddit

We have not turned on our heater, and last year, we used it less than a week. There are 5 of us in a 1300 sq ft, around 120 square meters, apartment. There are always at least 3 people home at all times, plus 2 small dogs and a cat. Between the heat load of living bodies, computers, TV / monitors, always on, laundry, and cooking, my ac is set at 73 right now and cycles on and off. Not like the summer, mind you. Maybe 1 or 2 times an hour for 15 minutes. The summer it never shuts off.

Las Vegas, Nevada. The current neighborhood temp is 45f, 7c, at 1045 pm. The high forecast for tomorrow is 60f, about 15c, and sunny. But we are seeing warmer temperatures. It's used to be common to get 2 week snaps of temps in the mid-20s, -4 or so c, for the low and 38f, 4c, for the high. Then you'll use your heater, and we set it at 66 overnight and then 68-69 during the day. If it's really cold and rainy, we'll generally set it around 72 to keep the damp chill out of the air.

Gloomy_Goal_4050@reddit

Moderate climate. 66. But only from 5-8 am and 6-10 pm. Otherwise it’s off

[-]

TucsonTacos@reddit

In phoenix and Tucson it was whatever the outside temperature was at, I don’t run the heat.

And it does get down to the 30s I just wear a winter jacket inside and sleep with blankets. I’m very comfy.

[-]

Karamist623@reddit

My husband keeps our home at a frosty 62 degrees.

[-]

1singhnee@reddit

NorCal, when the temps hit 50 outside in winter we usually heat it to 68.

The rest of the year it’s A/C at 70.

[-]

Curmudgy@reddit

Given this recent article, between 68 and 75, usually 70.

maybach320@reddit

When I lived alone 68 and usually 65 sleeping. My partner thinks she needs 72, I’ve found I can slowly adjust her to 70 without her noticing.

[-]

anneofgraygardens@reddit

68-70 when awake, I think it's set to 55 at night.

[-]

jimmyjohnjohnjohn@reddit

I keep it 72 year round. Sometimes a little warmer if it's very dry.

[-]

BB-56_Washington@reddit

I honestly couldn't tell you, I don't have a thermometer. I'd venture to guess it's 65-70.

Southern Idaho here. I keep mine about 62. I might turn it up some when the temps drop below zero

[-]

68

TaquitoLaw@reddit

Just turned on the heater this week in the Phoenix area, keeping it at 61

[-]

bananapanqueques@reddit

We have old-school baseboard radiators, so the analog thermostat isn't exact, but we aim for 20-22°C or 68-72°F.

[-]

kaboobola@reddit

65 in winter here, which is fine most of the time. right now our overnight lows have been dipping into teens & 20’s so I’ll have a fire in the evening sometimes. That will get the house to 68-70.

[-]

KoldProduct@reddit

71-74, but my heater is broken right now so I’m at the will of God

[-]

TeddyDaBear@reddit

Portland, OR: 69 (giggity) when home, 65 when away or sleeping. During the summer I don't turn AC on until it is at least 83 and I cool to 75.

[-]

Budgiejen@reddit

Mine is at 71 right now. Ideally I’d like 68 or so, but I get chills

[-]

DianneDiscos@reddit

I keep it at 69 all the time in the winter. I have tried 68 at night but i end up getting up to turn it up cuz im too cold, even with a second blanket. At 70 its just too hot. 69 is perfect.

Chicago suburbs, we’re at 72.

[-]

Mountain_Man_88@reddit

70 all day year round, I have a dumb thermostat that isn't programmable and I can't be assed to switch it constantly. If I had a programmable thermostat I'd say down to like 67 at night, 70 in the morning and maybe 72 after work until bed time.

[-]

Eric_J_Pierce@reddit

We don't have central or any a/c and only one electric wall heater unit. We're in SoCal, three miles from the Pacific. Our house temperature is pretty much whatever it is outside; thus far this winter, mid-60s, but lower on overnight, when we're under blankets.

[-]

Prowindowlicker@reddit

72-74. That’s if the temps drop below 55f. Otherwise I just shut off the system

[-]

VeronicaMarsupial@reddit

I keep my living area around 65-68, depending on my mood and how warm I'm feeling, and my bedroom cooler. Generally I just don't turn on the heat in the bedroom so it gets down to around 60-62 when it's cold out. If it's getting colder than that inside I'll turn the heat on to keep it above 60.
