Ann Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 At what temperature do you usually keep your thermostat set? How cold does it have to be inside before you turn your heat on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadstimeon Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 70 so the pipes won't freeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I like it at 70-- Jack Benny (John) tries to keep it much lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dchurchi Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 It seems as if my heater is on all the time. My poor man can not stay warm at all. Need to fatten him up. Under "normal" circumstances it is usually between 68 and 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 68 with humidity at 45 jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 It is programmed - not sure when it is whatever, but sometimes it is 68 and sometimes it is 65 and sometimes I manually turn it up to 71. Winter nights - my nose gets cold. When it is cold, I can't get warm and I hide under a blanket. This makes it very difficult to read, knit whatever. Need to find a nose warmer, any ideas???

Maryanne Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 70 at night and 72 during the day. But the last two days we had to increase that to 73. Its been in the teens here. If it was just me the temp would always be at 70 but Joel seems to be always cold. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda661 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 A lot of it seems to depend on how cold it is outside. Normally, I set for 68 during the day and 65 at night. When it got into the teens and really windy around here this winter, I kicked it up to 70 'round the clock...somehow I didn't feel as warm inside with all that cold and wind outside.

Don Wood Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 68-69 in winter; 75 in summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick C Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 68...wow, maybe that's why I am cold all the time...everyone here seems 70. When I'm not home, 55...that also seems low compared to what I am hearing here. Hmmm. May be time to revisit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missyk Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 In the winter...68. But lately it's been in the single digits with wind chills in the double digits below zero, so I kicked it up to 70! In the summer the A/C sits at 75-78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Daytime set at 71, overnight at 60 - it seldom gets that low but thank goodness for down duvets and a well insulated house! A programmable thermostat makes me forget about the changes until I get up in the middle of the night and crank up the downstairs heat.

Debi Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I keep mine somewhere between 68 and 72. I get hot and cold, I'm sure it has nothing to do with menopause , so the thermostat usually goes up and down like a yo-yo. One minute its hotter than Hades and I can't breathe, there's no air - I turn the heat down and within minutes I'm freezing. My feet and my nose always get cold first.

Jyoung20 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 My hubby keeps it on 72 but I push it up to 75 frequently and get fussed at.. hehe..especially when I am sneaky about it.. Being sneaky makes it fun!!! Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Our thermostats are not really set properly. If it says 70 on the thermostat a separate thermometer says it is 75. We like to keep the house around 70 in winter and 73 to 75 in summer. That takes a little math as I never know what the thermostat is going to do. We've had it checked to no avail.
