Off. ~~Type error: null is not a number.~~

I don't live somewhere that it gets to 0°C / 32°F, although it can get close in the middle of the night in winter, so I don't need to worry about the cold killing me.

Electricity is expensive though. I just dress in layers and use blankets or a hot water bottle when it's cold. When it's hot I might turn on the aircon to get myself to "not miserable", but that usually only happens a few weeks a year. I try to acclimate to whatever the outdoor temperature is.

I also keep my windows open all year. The idea of keeping an entire house (not my small city shoebox, that is at least insulated by other shoeboxes) at a constant temperature year-round is sort of weird to me. Most people I know will use the aircon or heater at home maybe half the time, they're nowhere near as avoidant of using them as I am.

I just find it hard to justify the expense, both financially and environmentally, unless I'm truly miserable and not just slightly uncomfortable.

73 in spring, summer, and fall. 67 in the winter.

Hah, thermostat

I'm the top floor apartment

My AC is set to 70f, it's currently 82f inside at about 0100.

My bedroom is 85f

If it could do the job I'd have it set to 75f and ideally keep it there but unfortunately I have to set it to 70 because the area near (like within a meter) the AC gets cold enough to get it to kick off any higher while the apartment cooks

18.5 celsius, which probably translates to 17.5 in some corners of the house. I used to put it on 20.5 C, but the insane gas prices and the limited gas supply motivated me to put it at the minimum I can live with. Although when working from home I usually put it lower (like 17 degrees Celsius) and use an electric heater instead in my working room. And obviously when I'm away from home it goes to like 15 degrees.

This is all caused by the insane energy prices here in Europe last year. I think my energy bill increased like doubled or tripled. While I can pay it, it feels like an absolute waste of money (and gas) to do that. We had to work together to keep the supply high after Russian gas stopped being an option.

Edit: this is for the Fall/Winter/Spring. Currently it's at 16 or something and hasn't turned on in months.

76F summer 74F winter

Programmed for 19C during the day and ramping up to 21C at night.

16C flat at all other times.

We don't have a set temperature for all year, that seems silly to me. The outside temperature, the price of electricity/gas, the energy efficient of your house, so many variables...

Apologies for not converting, but in the winter we stick to the mid to high 60s when it's in the 40s or below outside. For the summer if it's getting into the high 90s or low 100s we have to go up to the high 70s to avoid going broke on electricity.

PS go clean out the heat exchange fins on your compressor outside, sometimes animals or weather will clog them up with debris which kills the efficiency of the compressor.

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.

86F/30C. Turn on the fan and it's cool

I do 80F during the day and 78F at night in the pacific northwest US. It usually gets cold enough at night that opening windows will cool my house to the low 70s overnight. In the winter I have it set to 68F. I use ceiling fans and appropriate clothing to stay comfortable within those parameters.

71F always, year round

I don't! My windows are open all year here in Chicago.

Whatever my renting company sets it at.

It usually is around 20-21C

Summer: 73 during the day, 78 at night.

Winter: 65 all the time
