BRRRRRR! How do you have your thermostat programmed?

[rucky]

I work at home, so I'm set for 67 in the day & down to 63 at night.

Just curious what everybody's "comfort level" was - both with temperature and heating bills. It's a tough trade-off sometimes. Almost enough to get one of these...

[muntrv]

1. 65 degrees. I don't want to spend too much on heating, but I'll end

up doing so, with higher energy costs.

[lunatica]

2. 65 degrees

But it helps to keep it warm when I run the clothes dryer (on low hear) or cook.

3. I'm in Florida...

It's off during the day, when I'm not home.

At night, if it goes below 50 degrees outside, I set it to 74 and turn it on right before I go to bed.

[Johonny]

4. funny I turn mine off once I goto bed

Once I'm under all those covers it doesn't really matter.

[Fresh_Start]

5. 55 overnight

with a 68 at 5AM so that I'll get out of bed

[ThomWV]

6. 58 during the day, 60 upstairs at night

Downstairs we have a woodburner so anything I can get above 58 keeps the oil burner from kicking on.

[Fridays Child]

7. Pretty much the same as the daytime outside temp.

70°

[Jawja]

8. 70 degrees while I am up;

60 during the night. I have one of those "Snuggies," too, and I love it.

[InvisibleTouch]

9. 68, of necessity, and I'm absolutely freezing.

I like it about 20 degrees warmer than that, but can't afford the heat bill. :( I should turn it down further, in fact, but then I won't be able to move at all. Can't wait for Spring!

10. wood stove.

I load it and turn it way down around midnight. On nights like tonight, I have to get up by 6 to load it again. Keeps the house nice and toasty during the day and cool- around 55 to 58 at night.

[lumberjack_jeff]

11. 68, 64. But it's kind of moot, the woodstove runs all day. n/t

[tridim]

12. 66, but I use a heating pad sometimes too while I'm sitting

[RiverStone]

13. 60 during the day --- 55 at night

Just wear lots of layers....

And I have an efficient wood stove to supplement the forced air heat. Thankfully, I have enough deadwood on my property to keep me warm.

[trackfan]

14. We don't set the thermostat.

Sometimes we run the heat for a bit during the day, especially right before going to bed. We never run it at night. It doesn't get that cold here. The lowest the indoor thermometer has shown this season was 48 a few weeks ago.

[ileus]

15. 66 daytime/leave 70 night/wake

[Warpy]

16. I have a 1946 floor furnace in my living room

The living room is comfy enough to sit at the puter in 2 sweaters although my feet get cold.

The kitchen stays about 62.

The bedroom and bathroom stay about 55.

[ccinamon]

17. to keep my fingers and nose from freezing... 72

anything lower and I literally can not move...for some reason, I'm very susceptible to cool/cold air.

[AlCzervik]

18. The Snuggie® made from dead muppets and suitable for high mass.

the heat is off because it's been kind of warm here, i also had a new fireplace insert installed about 2 years ago so i heat my house almost 100% using that, gas bill dropped by half so the actual heating system in my house is never on.

summertime, that's a different story.

[customerserviceguy]

19. 66 for a couple hours in the AM, and a few in the PM

Then, down to about 60 during the rest of the time. Theo, the cat is a Himalayan, he likes it cool with his thick coat of fur.

We also took to hanging blankets in the back windows, they really do reduce the need for heat, and we don't miss the light from them too much, since there's not much on that side of the house in the winter.

20. North Carolina - 60 day / 58 night.

We like it like that, and if we feel cold we add a sweatshirt or sweater - but, we usually don't.

Your body will adjust if you take the thermostat down a degree day by day.

[TahitiNut]

21. When there's an 89-year-old woman in the house, different rules apply.

:shrug:

[Kajsa]

26. That's so true, TahitiNut.

My mom's retirement home is always warm,
the thermostat is set up to 75+during the day
and never below 70 at night.

:)

[deaniac21]

22. Mine is off.

[yy4me]

23. Leave it untouched at 63 degrees once the furnace is on.

If the house(200 years old) gets too cold, I use the electric oil filled radiators for a while. They are expensive to use but this house can get pretty cold. I just figure on a $200.00 a month electricity bill in additional to scheduled oil deliveries in Jan and Feb.

When we bought this house, you could heat for a whole winter for what one delivery now costs.

[SoCalDem]

24. A/C just turned off here..

I usually turn the whole system OFF during the day, and then set it on 70 at night...usually end up shutting it down & opening the house up around 4 AM to cool "my part of the house " off..

During the summer..all bets are off..life's too short to be sweaty:)

[Xipe Totec]

27. My mom reports it's 78 in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas

[Xipe Totec]

25. 60F, 24x7 n/t

[etherealtruth]

28. 68 during the day (when home) and 60 at night

[sakabatou]

29. Mines manual

I think it's off actually.

[sakabatou]

30. dupe

[ogneopasno]

31. I'm at home all day too. It's about 60 all day, but our bedroom gets down to 55 or so at nigh

night. I'm not saying it's comfortable.

[TripleKatPad]

32. 53 degrees, give or take

I try to keep the thermostat set as low as possible. As I write this, I am bundled up in a fuzzy robe over a sweatshirt, leggings and warm slippers, a blanket draped over my lower body.

At bedtime, I have the benefit of a 40-pound TripleKat blanket to keep me warm.

Oh, and outside it's 9 degrees and falling.
