Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

In winter I light the fire, in summer I open the windows, the temperature range goes from chilly to toasty. I don't have exact numbers on that.

[–] Torty@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

In the summer 78F during the day but I spend most of that time in the basement because that's where my office is and 68F at night to sleep.

During the winter 68F all day err' day

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.

24°C / 75°F during summer, 20°C / 68°F during winter.

[–] kuneho@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

on winters, I don't go above 20°C. on summers, I completely turn off the heater and even cut the gas, have all the two windows fully open for the rest of the season. I have an AC system installed, tho it's really old and consumes too much power for my likings. In my country they fucking rob people with electricity/gas bills, it's the fetish of our president. Also the AC unit is in a wrong place and haven't even cleaned it in years, so... it's just decoration at this point.

my luck is that I have neighbors on two sides and under me (I'm at first floor) so I don't really need to crank up the heater, because I'm already surrounded by heated homes. since my home is small, heating with gas is extra cheap for me.

I'm from Europe.

During summer 78-80. 78 is for husband. But prefer windows open as much as possible. Winter 70 or so. 75 if I’m really feeling like being a little less uncomfortable and paying out the ass for it.

I’m weird though. I generally think 80ish is my happy place.

77F - day 75F - night.

[–] AlternateRoute@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I have electric panel heaters so there isn't a thermostat. I'd normally turn one on in the main room and bedroom for a couple of hours each day during winter, but last winter my electricity rates were so high that I just used them on the coldest days. The thermometer in my bedroom dropped below 10°C, it wasn't fun.

[–] Notnotmike@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] RyanLiu@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I do 26c, my partner likes 24c.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I let visitors change it at will, but I always keep it above the minimum temperature for water to evaporate as a temperature reference.

In the summer: usually 78, but sometimes I'll drop it to 75 if I'm feeling hot. We spend most of our time in the basement and most of the time it cools off at night enough to just open the windows.

In the winter: somewhere between 65 and 68. Our house can feel chilly pretty easily so I tend to bump the heat up a bit.

[–] rayyyy@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

It's been mid 70s here in the day and mid 50s at night just about all summer so far. Bought two window air conditioners but never bothered to install them. We open windows at night and close them in the day.

[–] Saraphim@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

24 Celsius, which is about 76.5 f. My husband disagrees.

Currently, it is 76F during non-sleeping hours, and 72F during sleeping hours.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

I generally try for 18-19c in winter, and I usually see 24c in summer, though the AC can bring this down to about 21 most of the time. With the AC off, it's more like 26-28.

I'd keep the windows open more, but climate change has been causing massive wildfires where the air is too unhealthy to breathe....
