Anyone else still holding out on turning on the heat?

What?? No way. My heat has been on since October. No way I am walking around my house uncomfortable. I'd be miserable if inside my home was in the 50s.

My home is set to 72 in the summer and 74 in the winter.

Tell me you don’t have small children without telling me you don’t have small children

We haven’t turned ours on yet either and our kids are 7 and 9. We have heated blankets and the kids wear sweatshirts. They think it’s fun!

Yeah. Sure they do.

I was vaguely hoping to hold on till December but gave in yesterday and turned on the heat. 68 is the house setting. Which means the furnace isn't on half the time. So I've done my bit to be sustainable.

I'm sure they do, too I had a cold house as a child as it it was a big, rambling house from 1905 with a wonky furnace and my parents had multiple private school fees to pay. You got used to it but never did we ever think it was "fun."

I like to be comfortable. But I am slowly convincing my husband to keep it down a degree less this year. Ours kids are elementary aged and able to deal with cold rooms at night. And I love a cold room! So aiming for 68 upstairs which is 70 on our main level thermostat.

OP here. Kids have always been fine with it. It’s all they know. We are a cold loving family. Just wear a sweatshirt and slippers in the house. No bundling up. Sleep really really well, just a quilt and blanket. Not near duvet time yet.

I haven't turned on heat in 20 years. Granted, I live in San Francisco, but still I know other people here who do.

My heat has been on periodically for over a month. But a couple weeks ago we used the A/C. I’m not really willing to be uncomfortable.

Me, too. I had the heat on and then had to go back to ac for a week or two.

We must be giving OP the vapors! Imagine - being comfortable - the nerve of us!

Different people prefer different temperatures. Surprising that is news to you.
