Because I’m a Floridian now, I’ll set the heat to 70 when I need to get up out of bed. During the day I’ll leave it in the 60s. It doesn’t cost much to run the heater because it’s not ever that cold here.
I have a fake fireplace tv stand if I want to leave the heat off and air out the house without freezing while in my living room.
Depends on how many logs I put in the woodstove! I do also have a wood pellet stove set to 65, and a forced air oil furnace as a last resort, set to 60.
That said, I’m moving to The South very soon, where the thermostat is at 70 year 'round. No more stacking wood!
In Texas we look forward to “ winter” cause we do not have to use the heater but maybe once or twice if the house dips to below 55 or so. It offsets the a/c bills to keep it at 67 in the summer
64 all the time. It’s a touch cooler than I want during the day, and a touch warmer than where I want it at night. But I don’t have to slog through the 28 item 7 day programming process.
Doesn’t it cost more to heat everything back up during the day if you drop the temp at night?
I leave it at anywhere between 64 and 68 depending on the outside temperature. I basically gage by how long the interval is between running times.
Vast majority of the time when the heat is on, we set it at 68. We have an electric fireplace in our living room that we’ll use occasionally, but the Mrs. makes quilts as a hobby, so there’s usually one of 10-15 quilts laying around if one gets a bit of a chill.
Downstairs unit doesn’t run in the winter unless we forget to fill the pellet stove. Upstairs unit set at 68 because the youngest refuses to use a blanket. Before kids, we didn’t run the upstairs unit at all.
My dad used to keep the house at 65 in mi winters and refused to let me have a space heater when I was in my early 20’s and still living at home. Burrr. Now I’m in my own apartment bottom floor which is half under ground. So in winter it’s usually 68-70 depending on how cold outside. Summer is around 74-77. Bedroom is way colder than living room, heat doesn’t distribute the same.

@RiotDemon I’ve always wanted one of those fireplace TV stands, but now I have no room and the TV is mounted.
Downstairs 68. Upstairs 62. And since it’s hot water baseboard heat, it stays there all day.
During the day 70. At night 62, with the fan on and right now the window open. My friends call my house “The meat locker”
@tinamarie1974 Ah yes. The setting on the thermostat labelled “Hi Blizzard” or when snow comes out the registers if it doesn’t.
@tinamarie1974 What a coincidence. That is what people call my ex.

@mike808 I wonder what that says…

Daytime- 69
Night- 65
Unless we light the woodstove…
68 or 69. Sometimes my wife wants it bumped up to 72 or 73, so then we do that.

67 during the day and 64 at night. But those temps are at the thermostat so my family room is currently 65
75/74 summer and winter. Husband’s cold-blooded.
Heat set to 68, AC set to 75, but the smart thermostat modulates that a bit, depending on time-of-day and occupancy. Geothermal rules!
22C during the day 19C at night
@phlippinout what would that be in Kelvin?
@ybmuG 295.15 and 292.15 respectively
@ybmuG 531.27 and 525.87 rankine respectively for you Americans
68 winter, 75 summer - unless the Mrs gains control, then it’s grab a blanket or a fan as needed.
@rtjhnstn Pretty similar, 67/77
71 while up, 55 when down or out.

Sometimes, if it gets especially cool, I’ll close the windows.

4 degrees less than we cool it to in the summer.

60 during the day, 55 at night. Sweatshirts in the house, woodstove if we’re watching a movie, and my teenager has a space heater in his room.

68 day & night.
