....during winter, how warm....

How warm do you keep your house?

[mrisha]

I keep my home temp at 68 at all times.  Electricity is very expensive.  Not enough finances.

I keep my house at 69 degrees during the winter. I like it like that, and I save a few bucks every month too. If I get cold I throw on a sweater. I have also winterized my house too so that I don't waste any energy, and that equals more savings every month.

Whew I'd burn up at 80! I keep it around 69 - 72 depending on how cold it is. I usually leave it lower at night since I can't sleep well when it's too hot.

i like it cold and then i dress warm and cover up or snuggle with my husband

I keep my house 63 during the day and 60 at night.  If I'm going to be gone for a while, I may put it down to 55.  I suppose I should also mention that I live in Minnesota

I like it to be 75 during the day and 70 at night. Although, my husband seems to think that winter cold is different then what it feels like with the a/c during the summer so he is convinced that the thermostat needs to be set at 80. He is insane and I sneak over to the thermostat every chance I get to turn it back down again.

70 during the day and about 65 at night..

It is nice to see someone else who also keeps it cooler, as my thermostat is set with about the same temperatures.   I live in PA and it does get cold, but I am sure it is colder in Minnesota.  You can really save a lot of money and use the cash for something else that is fun or important if your turn down the heat.  It is just a matter of getting used to the cooler temp.  You just need to put on a few more layers.  In the evening I use an electric throw to keep warm.  An electric blanket goes a long way too for sleeping.  So many times when I am in other peoples homes and it is 70 or so degrees in the winter, I actually get stuffy and sweaty, as it is too hot, even with just one layer. 

BTW, I am a person who does not like the cold, and I still manage.  I am not going to sit there and shiver, but I  would rather work around the cold this way, instead of just turning up the heat.  I would rather not be 100% comfortable all of the time to save hundreds and hundreds of dollars each winter.  It really is a good way to keep your bills down!

I turn it down to 58 before bed and then up to 66 in the morning to warm up house. We use a Moniter heater and it heats to 4 degrees higher than setting. So 66 brings it up to 70. Monitor heaters are the MOST fuel efficient heater there is.

live in FL - stat set to 80 degrees all year round - even in winter when it is 40 degrees or lower outside - a/c works in reverse to keep temp 80 degrees - and the dehumidifier is on 24/7 all year - IMHO >> In My Humble Opinion - The MUSEUM, Zazzle, deviantART, ArtFire, FineArtAmerica

65.  I'm cheap.

[Wren28]

We keep ours at 68-69 and wear sweats.

Its about 68 in here with the propane but the nights we have a fire it can get as high as 80 in the house.
