WhoTom Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Heat: 68 when home, 63 when we're away and overnight. We also have a wood stove that I fire up late in the morning, so the heat pump/furnace only runs for a few hours a day. The wood stove keeps temps in the mid 70s. AC: 83. Neither of us likes using AC, but I'll turn it on to reduce humidity when it's really hot. A dry 83 is quite comfortable, and it keeps the electric bills low.
Seasons1992 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 It stays around 65-66 in the winter and probably 73-74 in the summer. Old house apartment with no insulation in the walls most likely.
teef Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 our downstairs heat is always at 72 in the winter. our upstairs is typically at 69, (giggidy). if our upstairs thermostat is changed by 1 degree, it really throws things off. for ac, 72/71 downstairs, 70/71 upstairs.
WotAGuy Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I work from home; I set the upstairs at 63 at night and leave it there until my wife comes home when it goes up to 70. It’s back at 63 when we’re away. I keep the downstairs where the master bedroom is and the magic happens at 64. That thermostat has a large swing in temps; it can be set at 64 and be anywhere from 61 to 66. We use window units units for air conditioning and I’ll blast them as cold as I can.
boater Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 65 winter 72 summer I get away with low temps because the system is unbalanced: 65 at the thermostat gives me about 68 in the bedrooms.
Steptide Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 68 normally, turn down to 65 or 66 at night mainly so we don't roast ourselves to death while sleeping. Side note, I live in a 950sq ft house and with our heat set at 68 most of the time our gas and electric bills are about $200 a month. I think that's really high. I know there's a lot of factors that come along with that, but our furnace is fairly new and windows are in decent shape. Just seems like alot for a house that isn't even 1000sq ft 1
GoBills808 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 No heat/AC. Live in a single wall 60s plantation house, insulation nil so whatever temperature it is outside it will be that temperature inside about an hour offset.
KD in CA Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 HEAT: At home during day: 68-70 At home whilst sleeping: 62 Away from home: 60 AIR CONDITIONING: don't have it, don't need it

Also..I really like to have the windows open in the summer..I'm a fresh air addict.
