Annual what’s your thermostat set at?

[Clone1992]

I'm all over the place, just depending on how it feels. Seems to vary with if it's humid or "dry" in the house. Guessing 74 is sort of the norm but will go lower to chill down some if it feels stuffy at all (or before bedtime to drop temp for initial sleep).

Yesterday might have been a first for me, ran heat and A/C on the same day. Took morning chill off by running heat for a few minutes Sunday AM. By afternoon it was quite humid. Niece and family arrived later in the day and they are from dry air foothills in Montana so dropped A/C on to dry and chill the house a bit before bedtime. They are off to day to SE Iowa. Kids are going to think it's stupid humid!

This is what I do too. I refuse to be even slightly uncomfortable in my own home. That usually ranges from 66 to 74 depending on the weather outside, but I'll go as low as I want to or as high as I want to to be comfortable. As an added bonus I will open our patio door when it is cold or hot out sometimes and adjust the thermostat accordingly to compensate if I feel like letting some fresh air in regardless of the temps outside.

Summer 73 night 76 day Winter 57 night 64 day

57 at night in the winter?? You must not have a wife who has to sit on the toilet seat in the middle of the night.

Summer - 75 during day 71 at night.
Winter - 68 during day 63 at night.

Our thermostat in the summer hot crap goes to 68° at 2 AM until 6 AM. Before that 70° all day. I am a sweat hog.

Whatever the Ecobee thermostat decides at any given time.

if 78 is too hot for you inside... you need to get off your ass and work in the heat.

sorry my dad got on my account

74 in the summer
66 in the winter

This exactly what we keep ours at.

Built in 1920,...9' ceilings downstairs, 7' upstairs, with a forced air system. A coal bin in the basement.

Updated a bit since then,.....Duct controls in the basement allow huge changes in air-flow. Winter, close down upstairs, open downstairs and it is all good, 70* at most,....heat rises.

Spring/summer,....push most A/C air upstairs, even with 7' ceilings it gets very cool with the temp at 68*. Cool air sinks.

Physics works.

77, but i live in Arizona so...

I live in Arizona too. We keep ours at 78 or 79. Sometimes we drop it to 77 overnight.

its set year round to kick heat on below 68 and AC on above 74. 21 year old house so no split level sadly. Upstairs we cook, basement we freeze

 

[AgronAlum]

We're 69 at night and 71 during the day. All year.

My wife and I are on the same page. We spend enough time outdoors that we refuse to be uncomfortable in the house.

Does anyone have a whole house fan? Ours hasn't worked since we moved in and I've been thinking about replacing it.

73 or 74 during the day, 76 at night. In the winter we'll do 68 during the day at 63 at night

I'm curious, do you have yours set at a constant temp? or do you drop it at night, i used to let it get a little high in the house, but it would take FOREVER to get back down and our electricity prices were insane.
