What's your home thermostat set at?

[Owlie]

The insulation in my apartment sucks. What's nice is that I can control the bedroom and the living area separately. I leave the bedroom heating off and keep the door close until just before I want to take a shower, then turn it up to 70, then back down to 60 before I go to bed. I do the same thing with the living room--it gets turned off when I leave for the day, then I turn it up to 70 for a bit and back down to 60. Then I turn it off at night.

67 at the thermostat, which keeps the temperature at 64 in most of the rooms.

I'm consistently freezing at bedtime, so setting it down at night isn't an option. I've been sleeping in two layers of wool on top and one layer wool longjohns or sweatpants, wool socks, wool cap, four blankets, and it's not even cold outside...

74 when we're home, 67 when we leave and at night.

My mom made me a bag of rice sewn out of one of my grandmother's old cloth napkins, with a flannel cover. Stick in microwave for 1-1.5 minutes, and voila! toasty warm feet!
(Also the giant super-warm comforter helps...)

Hmm. We are usually between 70-75. And I wear sweaters and socks and stuff.

For some reason, being cold is just one of the worst feelings in the world to me. I don't think we spend that much on gas, maybe around $50 a month in the winter. (I pay the electric, not the gas, so I'm not sure.)

It varies according to hot flashes. If I am feeling particularly warm that day then the thermostat is around 64-65 when I am home, 70 if my inner heater isn't working that day. When I leave home for the day I set it at 60-63. At night I set it between 60-65.

I hate being cold, and I am still wrapping up when it is at 70. I seem to be another one who is better with being hot than cold.

ours is set at 68 most of the time but if it get's chilly we turn it to 70. Our house well insulated so the heat stays in really well.

I haven't turned my heater on yet this year, so it's still on the A/C and set to 80. Even on the few nights when the temps dropped to freezing here, my apartment never got below 60. I'm just sucking up my downstairs neighbor's warmth That and two cats really helps. I like to be cold though.

I'm in a newish building and the heating system is not working the best. The HVAC system was not properly flushed...at the beginning. Something that our condo board has to look after....long story. Not worth going into.

So 67 degrees F (19.5 degrees C). I want it at 75. Sorry, this brings back memories of growing up in an old drafty house.

I only have wall to wall carpeting in the bedroom. And haven't spent money on scatter rugs which I prefer not use. (It only encourages dust accumulation when I don't vaccum often enough.)

63 on the thermostat, probably around 58-60 in the house. Our rental house is very poorly insulated, and much of the heat escapes through the roof. I can't wait for the day that we move (in a year or so) and buy an energy efficient home.
