What do keep your thermostat set on in winter?
-
Usually 70 to 74, really depends on how cold it is outside.

I have tried to turn my back some to save $. I think I am freezing my husband out, but he can add another layer :dontknow:

About 70 during the day so I don't have to bundle up so much while I am up and about. I live in South Central Florida, so nights rarely get that cold. 40ish is about as low as it usually will go, and it is for a few days at a time and then weeks of warmer. This goes on from about January to March. At night I turn off the heat and use a really good Velux blanket for warmth. My two cats help keep me warm, too.In case you wonder why I turn off the heat at night, it is to save money, and also, when the heat is on as I sleep, it causes me to be congested and uncomfortable with my allergies. :wave:

Generally speaking, we do not keep our thermostat set at any temperature. Due to the MS I suffer from, I find I am hotter in winter and cold in summer. So, we tend to keep the temperature around 60-65.
This is all very strange to me, as I used to love the heat, but now I can no longer tolerate it. I used to hate the cold, but I do not *feel* cold anymore. Most of the time, the colder it is, the hotter I feel. Yes, it is a concern.

I just keep my thermostat set at one temperature which is 75 degree for the winter. :icon_rr:
-
I keep mine as low as I can tolerate to save energy. This winter it varied between 65 and 68 most of the time. We had a pretty mild winter here in NM. We just got our first/only snow about a week ago, but we've had a few nasty wind storms.

Because i tend to like it cooler, my husband uses a little electric space heater.
-
I keep our thermostae around 65, Hubby likes it cooler, i add layers. But the fireplace burns a lot. It keeps the living room toasty. But he likes the doors open i want them closed because of having to clean more. I win.
-
During the day it stays mostly at 65. But at night time when it gets really cold it can go up to 70. But I try to stay warm with just more blankets.
-
I use my fireplace but if I have to turn the heat on its usually set for 70 I get cold really easy
-
Ours is set at 60 year around, but I have a wood stove to heat the house.
-
During the winter between 60 & 70! :)
-
usually around 72.
-
As long as we have money for propane, I keep the house as warm as possible as I am always cold even though I bundle up! Usually, I have it set at 74 or so.

Last winter I kept it at 65, and was fine with just wearing some thermals under my clothes. This winter I've been really, really bothered by the cold. Even with thermals and heavy sweaters or hoodies, I was still freezing all the time. I've had it up at 71-73.
