What temp do you keep your house at? CP

janda426 · January 2014

In Fahrenheit. I'm curious what temp others keep their house at- Ours is usually 73-75 degrees. I hate being cold. We turn it down at night though.

peggels24 · January 2014

58 when away or sleeping. 62 at other times.

Belou52579 · January 2014

If it were up to me it would be 65 year round!! I love cooler temps.

CrazyCupcake52 · January 2014

Really it depends on the season. We usually do about 69-70 in the winter (and turn it down a few degrees at night because it is warmer upstairs) and around 72-74 in the summer.

katietopaz · January 2014

It depends--California is so mild, we usually don't even set the heat or air. I'm high-maintenance about being hot, though, so in the hottest months I'll set it as low as 66-67. In cooler weather, I'll happily just cuddle up with a sweatshirt and blanket.

MultitaskingmMom · January 2014

Somewhere between 68 and 74. We have terribly old windows and the cold air comes right in.

janda426 · January 2014

I didn't think to include summer temps. CP fail on my part. In the summer we usually keep it at 69 or 70.

Irishcurls · January 2014

62 while we're away, 64-65 when we're home.

TeeJ526 · January 2014

In the winter, we keep the house at 68 if one of us are home and awake. At night, we keep it at 65, but we might go lower. When we're not home, we keep it at 62. I'm tempted most times to keep the house at 70-72, but our oil bill is too damn high for that. During the summer, the house is kept at 75.

I just had to use the google conversion to figure out fahrenheit.

Right now we have the thermostat set to 24C which is 75F. With the horrible cold weather we've had it up to 79F. In the summer we keep it cooler at around 68. And I also like to keep it cooler (around 68 or slightly higher) when I have a beer fermenting.

One of the benefits of condo life is our heating and AC is included in our condo fees.

janda426 · January 2014

@brettanomyces That's America for you- still stuck on Fahrenheit

MusicFanatic · January 2014

69 in winter.

At night, we turn it totally off. We have sorta small cozy bedrooms, and DH's body tends to run on fire.. if we have heat on, I would sweat. Not only do we turn the heat off overnight, but we open the bedroom window and use the fan (I need sound). And the bedroom is small, so it doesn't actually get cold.

We have it on a timer so the heat goes back on at 5am.

Manateearmz · January 2014

During the day 67 at night 63. I'm constantly in sweat pants.

honkytonk_kid · January 2014

We keep it at 62 during the day, 58-60 at night. During the summer we keep it probably 78? A little too warm for me, but to get it much cooler would mean the a/c just runs constantly and I don't like paying for that.

We used to have a game/running joke where we would see how cold it would get before someone would turn on the heat. I woke up to 47* once. Game over.

brettanomyces · January 2014

@janda426 Yeah but Canada is weird. In a restaurant we order pints of beer but half-litres of wine. We drive kilometers but describe ourselves as weighing Xlbs and being X'Y" tall. We buy ingredients in ml and kg and then measure cups and teaspoons for recipes.

littleboyermoose · January 2014

60. My hubby is a little stingy with heat.

hullabalou · January 2014

During the winter, we keep it around 60. I loveeee being cold and under a blanket.

I have been known to wake up and cut off the heat completely on cool nights and wake up to temps around 50.

During the summer, I suffer through keeping the air set around 72 because if not, our power bill would be astronomical. I run two box fans and the ceiling fan during the summer too.

EmilyA724 · January 2014

When we're home 65-67 (sometimes up to 69 if it's really cold out), during the day while we're at work 63, and 59 at night. Just bought a new house so this will be my first summer with a/c so we'll see!

snooks721 · January 2014

When we're home I have it set to 69. Sometimes if it's really cold I'll turn it up to 70. When we're sleeping or at work it turns down to 66. I used to turn it down to 64 but our pipes froze last week soo not turning it down that low ever again!

In the summer I have it at 72ish.

jaytee16 · January 2014

I had to google the conversion. This time of year we keep it around 69-70, mostly for H, he runs warmer than me - I'm usually in sweats, slippers and under a blanket.

LaDyBostonRN · January 2014

We keep it at 67 during the winter. I use lots of blankets and extra layers because this is still too cold for me. Since we have a dog we keep it at this even when we are not home. Makes for an expensive gas bill ;-)

LN1024 · January 2014

At nigh it's 64 and during the day around 68.

RayRay007 · January 2014

I voted 70 but it's more like 66 at night and when we're gone. I keep the a/c around 73-74 in the summer.

lebradford · January 2014

I'm not exactly sure because we have the thermostat to automatically adjust depending on the day of the week and the time of day. I think when we're home in the winter, it's 72, and when we're at work/school it's like 66, and like 68 at night.

Emerald27 · January 2014

65 winter, 72 summer

We use blankets and ceiling fans in this house.

catmagick · January 2014

Y'all cray at night! We go down to 56 at night. We use a big comforter. 66 during the day. I don't do anything in the summer but open the windows. Sometimes I use the A/C but it has to be sweltering for me to do that.

Lizbeth2462 · January 2014

70 in the winter, 75 or so in the summer! I hate coming inside in my shorts or whatever and being freezing in the house, so I like to keep it up in the warmer months.

jchickiem · January 2014

If it is cold enough to have the heat on, we keep the thermostat at about 68. In the heat of the summer, we set it to 74 or 75 in the house, but have a window unit in the bedroom so it will be cooler at night.

britneyfaye · January 2014

Depends on the season. Summer AC is on 77 downstairs and 75 upstairs. Winter heat is on 67 while we are home and 65 while away. With that being said we are in GA and last Tuesday our high was 32 and this weekend we were in the low 70's so we are constantly adjusting temps during the winter months.

This thread has me wondering if we keep our house too warm. I told DH the average temps seem to be in the 60's here on the board, but he thinks it would be too cold.

We are at 68/69 and I've never been cold in the house.

Anything in the 70's would roast me.

No honestly. My mom lives in an apartment where she can't control the heat. I think it hovers around 74. I made her open a window and was chugging water to keep my skin from cracking off. TOO HOT!

This exactly.

WinningColors · January 2014

68 in the winter and 72 in the summer. We keep it at 65 at night no matter what the season.

OMG DED that the poll only goes up to 73!!!

We keep our apartment at 78 in the winter and like 70 in the summer.

78 holy crap?

I'm sweating just thinking of this. Like seriously!

I don't want your bill, either :P

Pintobean39 · January 2014

I'm complicated

Winter 68 day 70 night
Summer 75 day 72 night

Last night I had my air on 70 because it's suppose to be winter and it's suppose to be 70 when I sleep.

linnae939 · January 2014

Um...58...56 at night, 58 if we're at work, sometimes up to 61 if we're chilly. I HATE being hot. Dh just has to deal....(he's the one that puts it up to 61...Before him I left it around 57 ALL THE TIME) ...I was surprised low 60's wasn't even a CHOICE! most people I know keep it between 60-65. Maybe that's new england, and that is positively balmy? I couldn't stand a house above 70 in the winter! i know when we have an infant we'll have to keep the heat up (another reason we wanted a spring/summer baby...) but for now I will enjoy my ice cave

ETA: Oh, I forgot about summer. We're cheap, so 75-78, but.....I sleep with on fan on my face and another over head haha...and sometimes I sneak it down to 72 before DH gets home

janda426 · January 2014

@linnae939 eek! I'd be FREEZING... The people I babysit for have their house at 63 and I thought I was being tortured.

I just feel like when the house is too cold, I want to stay in bed all day under the blankets and I'm absolutely miserable if I have to get up and do something, forget doing chores willingly. I guess it stems from when we were younger, we were broke and our furnace would always shut off in the middle of the night so it would be like 50 degrees in the house when we had to be up for school and I missed so many days cause I just didn't want to leave my blanket. It's a luxury I take advantage of now being grown up haha

linnae939 · January 2014

bigday111111 · January 2014

In the winter we keep it at around 71. It goes down to 65 at night. Summer its at about 76.

FemShep · January 2014

We live in MA, and our house has ceiling fans. We also have two thermostats (one upstairs, one downstairs) and we have a Nest for both of them. I

my Nest, it automatically detects when you're away, you can control the temps by an app, and it has smart scheduling so you can tell it that you want the temp to be 68 when you wake up and it will start the heat at the proper time depending on the temp of the house.

During the winter, we set it for 68 when we're there and awake, 66 upstairs and 62 downstairs when we're sleeping, and 62 when we're away.

During the summer, we often are able to just use the ceiling fans and be comfortable, especially at night. When we put on the AC, we set it to 72 during the day, 70 upstairs and 74 downstairs at night.

Maybe it is a New England thing? I keep my heat super low and not because I'm trying to save money - just because that is the way I grew up.....and I enjoy it. BTW - there is no way I'm showing my DH this thread or he will want to up the heat LOL
