What do you set your thermostat at ?
 

With the colder weather coming our way, I'm curious what you folks keep house temps at, during the winter.

For us its at 65 right now. Once the really cold weather sets in I'll change it to about 68. Our house is really drafty.

I keep the house and the garage at 74. If i get to working hard in the shop, I'll turn it down. That doesn't happen too often anymore though.

We keep ours at 69 deg., although if it were up to my wife, it would be a LOT higher.

We keep ours at 68 when we are up and it goes down to 64 at night and when we are at work. The programable thermostat is the way to go.

We only heat one room most of the time, but when the weather get really cold then the house hermostat is at 68.

Maureen keeps it at 60 year round.Needless to say,Grandsport is freezing year round.

Exactly what we do.

About 74 here. Even before we had the baby. If your house leaks air at "x" rate, what does it matter if your furnace keeps the temp at 63 or 73? Just to maintain?

I love the programable thermostat. It helped reduces our heating and cooling bills. Like others, we have it turned down at night and just before we get out of bed it kicks it up a few degrees.

grandsport, 60 degrees? I like it cold, but even my fingers would start turning blue.

Ours stays about 68 but we only heat 1 room and only cool 2 .

71 during the day, 68 or maybe 65 at night, have to look at the thermostat to see what it's set at. Sorry, but I'm going to be comfortable in my own home. Not going to wear sweatshirts, wrap in blankets, etc. I worked too long and hard to buy this home, I want to be comfortable.

70 in the winter & 74 in the summer....this keeps the electric bill less than $300 a month, usually.

My power bill seems to stay the same whether a/c or heat is set low. We were even gone 3 weeks of one month and our bill was about the same .Me thinks they guesstimate how much power we use .

In winter, I keep ours on about 62 during the day...maybe 66. At night, 58 TOPS.

When I used to live "up north", the thermostat rarely saw the top side of 58.

Now in the warmer weather down here, the thermostat stays on 76 when we're not home, 70 or 72 when we are home, and 66 or 68 at night.

I hate when they guesstimate the bills. Then they hit you all at once with a doosey of a bill.

I thought the gubment was going to pay our utility bills.

we nots poohr nuf.

Give it time my friend.Give it time.Waving

74 in the winter, 77 in the summer
