Annual "What is your heat set to" post.

66-67 but my kids hate it and I often catch them bumping it to 70-71.

Even though DCUM is full of insanely rich folks, these temps seem reasonable to me (mid to high 60s day and low 60s night).

69 at night. it's off during the day because we have large windows that allow for a ton of sun to enter the home. it really heats up quickly on it's own.

Day: 64 (work from home)
Afternoon/evening when kid is home: 67
Night: 64

I would like it warmer but the bill is high and I am a single parent with low income.

I used to turn down to 64 at night but frankly can't be bothered any more.

Shame on you, too. Programmable thermostats are maybe $30?

Do you have kids? I really don't understand people who spawn and don't moderate their consumption of resources.

I like the dogs to be warm when they sleep. And not waking up to a cold house. It's only 3-4 months of the year when I have a heating bill. The savings from turning down to 64 are not notable enough to make a difference. My December bill is only $100.

You don’t owe that jerky PP an explanation.

You are perfectly fine.

68 day/63 night. We have a programmable thermostat (who doesn't?), so it warms up before I have to wake up.

For those of you who keep it at 69 or 74 or whatever year-round, do you wear the same clothes inside in both summer and winter?

Ours is set to 64 (63 night). On sunny days, it'll warm up a few degrees, but it's been such a cloudy winter so sometimes I bump it to 65.

wow that is cold. ours is set to 73-74 during the day and at night about 72 during the winter.

72-73 daytime
69-70 nighttime

No, shame on everyone else for lying. You really think no one on DCUM has it above 65?

76 during the day, then I crank it up to 85 for about an hour at night and then back down to 72/73 while we sleep.
