What do you set your thermostat at for winter?

[midnight armadillo]

Our house is 65F day, 61F night. Although if my new insulation/cold-air-stopping projects go as planned I think I'll be able to go down to 59F at night and be more comfortable.

1. 68 and 65 in this trailer. It gets very cold in here.

[amerikat]

2. 62

part comfort, part frugal......oil is 310 a gallon here.

Id prefer 68.

4. The lower the tank gets here the lower the thermostat goes, but then the

electric heaters come out.

[some guy]

3. 68 right now. n/t

[Orrex]

5. I set my thermostat to Kill

Stun is for wimps.

[petronius]

6. We set ours to "If you're cold, put on a damn sweater!"

Actually, we only have a wall heater, which we never use - we'd rather bundle up than deal with the dry air and heater smell...

[Withywindle]

7. 68F, ideally

Which is also what I set it to in the summer, and that costs WAY more. I just hate being hot so much more than I hate being cold.

8. 66F 24/7

although we frequently just turn it off and forget to turn it back on until it's very cold.

Of course, we live in San Diego, so it doesn't run that much anyways. :hi:

[blueamy66]

10. 68

[nessa]

[tigereye]

12. 65, a bit lower at night...

[Lisa D]

13. 64 during the day

61 at night.

[kentauros]

14. 75F. For a/c ;)

We don't really have winters here :D

[Silver Swan]

15. About 68 during the day

And 58 at night.

I'd have it a little lower at night, but I have a very old cat who doesn't take well to cold.

(I grew up in an old farmhouse. Our upstairs was heated only by heat wafting up from below. I like sleeping in the cold.)

[Beer Snob-50]

16. 62 during the day

and 58 at night. we also have a wood stove that heats the family room and part of the kitchen

[Crystal Clarity]

17. I don't set a thermostat...

I heat solely w/wood. My house is well insulated and sometimes it can actually get too hot even on the bitterest cold of days. That's probably my biggest complaint about wood heat...it can be hard to regulate the temp.

[AlecBGreen]

25. nothing beats wood heat!

i grew up in a big old drafty farmhouse. Half of the house was heated toasty warm with a single wood stove. LOVE IT! Nothing breaks the winter chill like a pile of hot coals

[Roon]

31. My parents have an awesome fireplace that has blowers

and when that thing is going full force, it heats this HUGE house all day. It's a strange fireplace,it has a door and you close the flue once the fire is set.

[progressoid]

18. 67/68 when @ home and awake.

drops to 60 at night and during the day when nobody is home.

[nadine_mn]

19. between 63-65 in the winter

I live in Minnesota and I like the cold. However our rental home is not very well insulated so some rooms are a lot colder.

We should probably plastic seal up our windows this year to be more efficient

20. thermostat?

My furnace has an on/off switch. You turn it on until you're warm, then you turn it off. We generally only use the furnace for 20 or 30 minutes in the morning anyway, to warm up the bathroom before showering and such before work. At night we usually light a fire in the wood stove-- if it's really cold, we might proceed that with a short burst of central heat to take the chill off until the stove warms up.

21. don't have one

but the thermometer on top of my computer tower is reading 61.3 now!:woohoo:

[TrogL]

22. 24 C

[TrogL]

23. 24 C

[Ron Green]

24. 67 day, 53 night.

We have a nice comforter on the bed.

[Duer 157099]

26. I just finally turned the heater on. Prior to that,

it's been getting down to the low 50s in the house. We've been using lots of blankets and wearing sweats and robes in the house. I personally sort of like the cold, especially if I can dress warmly.

That said, I finally turned the heater on this weekend. But I still keep it set at 55 most of the time, unless I just can't stand it and then I might let it go to 65.

The first morning after using the heater, when I went out in the morning it felt FREEZING!! Even though the temperature had been the same for the past couple of weeks. That's how much I had gotten used to it, and how fast that disappeared when I turned on the heater.

[Kaleva]

27. 68-69 degrees. Other house was so drafty, we had to keep it at 72-74

[Iggo]

28. About 6 or 8 degrees warmer than it already is in the house.

Let it cycle for awhile. Shut it down before I go to bed. Crank it in the morning. Shut it down when I leave for work.

SoCal, baby. Yeah!

[Xipe Totec]

29. 60 day and night during the Winter

In the summer, whatever the weather offers. No a/c.

[Roon]

30. I have an electric radiator, the thermostat doesn't work

so it's either on or off..during the day, it's on and heats my three room flat very nicely! I turn it off at night and snuggle with the blankets.
