house temp

BADASBKRCK · February 2015

What temp do you set your thermostat at during the winter? Before baby and after baby? (Tell us if its Celsius or Fahrenheit)

BADASBKRCK · February 2015

Before DD it was 65f, now its 75! It still doesn't feel warm enough for her!

Sporty1216 · February 2015

We're 70F during the day and 65F at night. On the most frigid of days we might bump it up a couple of degrees. Old houses are drafty.

BADASBKRCK · February 2015

Old houses are awful. We have no insulation between floor and basement. I let DD play in her play yard for an hour then put her in the pack n play (over a heating vent) for an hour. It goes like that all day

We keep it 72F. We used to lower it at night, especially since it gets way hot upstairs ( like we've been sleeping with the window cracked all winter and just realized it a few weeks ago!). But with LO we keep it 72 all the time and it seems to work.

I'm the opposite - I am paranoid about heat! So during the day it's set at 21c, sometimes 22, but at night it's 19c. It's also an old house and the temperature varies. Upstairs it is usually 1 degree lower than downstairs and LO's room is often the coldest at about 2 degrees lower. I think in Fahrenheit that's about 68 during the day and 65 at night.

We keep it at 72 f our second floor gets so warm though I usually wake up sweaty

That sounds rough @BADASBKRCK‌ ! So so so so unbelievably ready for spring!

Our house was originally built in 1880 and our thermostat is old enough that it hasn't been switched over to metric. We had ours set at 63F at night, 71F during the day until this awful cold snap (snap? month?). The furnace was struggling to get the house to warm up in the morning and we had pipes freeze overnight, so it's set "permanently" on 74F for now. Even so, the house still cools down at night to the mid-60s.

69f during the winter. Dh complains that it's too cold, but it's comfortable.

We have 2 separate heaters. One for downstairs and the other upstairs where the bedrooms are. We used to keep the upstairs cooler since we were up there less and sleeping but now they both stay about 70 all the time.

BADASBKRCK · February 2015

I wish we had separate heaters for upstairs and downstairs! Like several people mentioned, we keep the heat pumped for the downstairs but the upstairs is too warm!

emilyann64 · February 2015

We keep it around 69-70f.

LolaX2 · February 2015

Before kids we used to keep it about 68 during the day and 65 at night. Now we have a programmable thermostat and it is set for 70F during the daytime hours that we are home, 65F when we are not home (working) and 67F at night.

We also have an old house build in the late 1800's that is very drafty, but the upstairs get too hot. We really need to replace all the windows but don't have the money for that right now. We just had to buy a new furnace and car while I was on leave so money is tight!

teehee..69

babayRFL · February 2015

Ours stays at 68-69, before and after baby

LolaX2 · February 2015

Lately with the below zero temps and high wind chill I have been bumping ours up to 72-74 at times when DD is crawling around on the floor. I notice when I get on the floor to play with her that it is a lot cooler down there and her little arms and legs get cold!

yeah we have a foam playmat and a quilt but her hands and feet are still frozen

I'm cheap when it comes to paying for oil, so I generally keep it around 18c for the day and 15c at night time. It's chillier than most people's houses but that's what sweaters and slippers are for. DH thinks it's too cold but it's also too expensive to be much warmer all the time. It's the same as before baby.

babym6705 · February 2015

68F in the Winter. We use to keep it on 70F, but I heard reducing the temp by even 1-2 degrees can save you a couple hundred annually so yeah, I'm cheap.

kmos816 · February 2015

70 all the time- we used to keep it at 72 when we lived in an apartment but that got expensive in our old house when it's always below 0 here in MN!

A home energy guy said to keep the temps consistent, if you turn it down at night and then up during the day it can cost more.
