Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?
Our heater is set to 60F in the winter.
If i want it warmer than that (usually) it’s up to me to keep the wood stove fired and fed!
68F-72F in summer 66ish in the winter. In live in the South East United States and humidity is a bitch
With ceiling fans on in every room
No? Set termostat to a lower temp in the winter so the heater doesn’t stay on as long. Higher temp in the summer so the AC doesn’t stay on.
Another reason to keep it closer to the outdoor temp is clothing. I loathe places in the winter that have the heat cranked up, I dressed for the cold, I don’t want to melt because businesses crank the heat up to 80F for some reason. Same with the summer, I’m shivering cause I dressed for 90F but inside is in the high 60’s.

Because celcius sucks for environmental temperature
What a bizarre claim.
I mean I don’t really care what temperature is based on but exactly what does 77 degrees exactly refer to in that it is better or worse than any other number?
It’s not about learning or not. It’s about 1 system being fundamentally less suited for the task. You wouldn’t argue that we should all be using kelvin. I mean, you could argue that, but you wouldn’t be right.
Yes Celsius certainly seems more natural.
Not for human centered climate, where 0-100F is a very convenient set of human centric temperatures. 0 is really cold, 100 is really hot
You are talking purely out of ignorance. The majority of the population on Earth are getting on just fine using celsius with none of the problems you claim to exist.
Also “really cold” and “really hot” are purely subjective terms which varies a lot from person to person and from location to location.
You just described Celsius, you idiot.
Where is freezing? That is a pretty important one particularly for driving or freezing pipes? So 40 is really hot, 20 is decent, 0 is freezing and -20 is cold and -40 is really cold. And water boils typically around 100.
I mean, ignoring zero in Calvin, it is all arbitrary when it comes to temperature. Just celsius likes to land some key numbers on human centric values.
We do somewhere between 72 and 76. But at night in the peak of summer we’ll bump it down to 70. Our bedroom is on the top floor and can often be several degrees hotter than the lower floor where the thermostat is, so for a few weeks in the summer we have to really crank it.
I’m told we should look into a vent fan to help distribute the air better but I haven’t taken the time to put in the effort yet, I’m sad to say
76 in the summer and 68 in the winter
76F summer 74F winter
There is no one right temperature — it depends on the humidity. In the winter I often have heat at 71. In the summer 68.
Summer Cooling 22C - 23 C (71.6F to 73.4) in Winter Heating 20 C- 20.5C (68 F - 68.9 F) Since we have large summer and winter seasonal temperature differences we are all dressed more warmly in the winter so a lower over set point.
62F in the winter and 72F in the summer… I like It chillier than warmer :-)
Same here!
76F to 78F in the summer.
68F in the winter.
My Dad does 85F summer and 65F winter though. I though I was being luxurious with my settings lol.
I do run a dehumidifier in the summer and a humidifier in the winter though. Humidity control is almost more important IMO for comfort.
Usually around 74F in the summer but I’ll bump it if the temps outside hit the mid 90s. 64 in the winter, I like it cold. I run a portable AC in the master bedroom during the summer while we sleep. Bit of a story there.
In the summer? I have no AC at my house but it doesn’t usually go above 77 - 80 on it’s own. It’s in a unique part of the city where we’re surrounded by the woods and trees which provide a lot of shade and cool the air. Also the house is built into the side of a mountain and surrounded by massive retaining walls, so the first floor is basically a story underground. Our bedroom is also on the first floor, so I don’t really go upstairs except to do laundry.
In the winter, usually about 64 - 67. It goes down to 60 during the day on a schedule or whatever.
Summer for ac it is about 76f
75f if it gets extra humid for some reason then we’ll push it down by one degree
But at night 78f for the ac.
Although if it’s nice outside we’ll turn it off and open windows.
Winter it’s 69 or 72 for during the day depending on a few factors. If I’m just sitting working in the computer it’s closer to 72 but up and moving around maybe 69.
66 f at night
Btw I’m in Minnesota US.
