To save energy, I set my AC at 28β in the summer, for a couple of hours in the afternoon. In the winter if my room temperature wasn't below 8β I don't use heating. Otherwise I set it to 12β.
Apparently I don't understand the very energy consuming 20β summers/winters.
you are the only one i can read, all the others keep using uncivilized measurements (fahrenheit... btw, so many americians here. ew. π€’)
In Northern California my AC is off as much as I can help it. When it's on it's set at 82. Energy bill is still at least $250 for my one bedroom apartment...
Right now in summer: 67 overnight while we sleep (helps that we have tiered power pricing where late night power is almost half the price of it during the day), 72 when we're up, and 80 between 2 and 6pm when we have the most expensive power hours. Luckily we're in an apartment that's like three years old, so it's surprisingly well insulated and hasn't gotten above 73 during those hot hours.
70F (21C) during the summer time, and usually its off during the winter (we just have the windows open, and might briefly use a space heater if its really really cold).
In fall and spring it just heavily depends on the day and how it feels.
73 day, 70 night.
I prefer it a little cooler, but my apartment isn't insulated for shit so anything less and the ac basically never turns off.
Hasn't turned off a whole lot with heat waves lately.
I do 76F in the summer for AC and 68F in the winter for heating. Try to use minimal heating and air and still maintain a comfortable range. Can get expensive if working the system too hard. If it wasn't a matter of cost I'd leave it on 72F all the time.
Evaporative coolers are great if you live where you can use one, much cheaper to run and they can work pretty good as long as humidity isn't too high. I had one in a house I lived in before along with a regular AC system. It was a good to have and saved a lot on the electric bill. If it was dry enough out the AC unit was not needed.
Haven't used a heat pump before and don't know much about them. If they work as well and cost less to operate that would be a good option, but I wouldn't use one if it's a downgrade in performance. Rather pay for the comfort.
During AC season, 71 during the day, 68 at night. Geothermal FTW.
In the winter, 68, 69 if I'm particularly cold, In the summer I don't turn on the AC unless I'm absolutely dying, and then it only goes to 77. I'm a lizard, I love the heat, but I also hate paying high gas bills.
We live in Seattle. There is no thermostat.
We donβt have a thermostat. We have storage heaters and criminally insufficient insulation. Iβd like to keep the flat about 21C (69F), a little lower at night. I can only afford to keep the flat above 17C (62F). Cost of living crisis sucks.
23.5 in day and 22.5 at night. For summer, at least. I realized too much AC really affects my joints. Too little is unbearable. Humans are a fickle bunch...
Might for 22.5 day 21.5 night for winter.
65F/19C. Fans in summer, sweaters in winter.
75F basically all the time, cooling only no heating. I also always turn it off at night and open all the windows/vice versa in the morning to save energy. I'm not a dad but this is totally a dad thing that I started doing when I turned 30.
This is in the southwestern US.
Only have heating, no AC. So 19C over the day and 16 at night for the winter
21 in summer, though it hardly ever kicks in with the awesome isolation we have.
23 in winter, cause I like it toasty.
18Β° in winter. 24Β° in summer.
However I would only put the heater or aircon on somewhere between 40-60 days a year and only for a couple hours. And often it's just to take the chill out of the house or cool the bedroom before bed. I have a modern well insulated house which is a rarity in Melbourne or Australia in general, houses/apartments are built like shit here.
Australia has some of the worst built houses in the western world, especially houses built in the 20th century. I think the average was 0.5 stars out of 10. Thankfully we have the most amount of solar of any country so we are offsetting the crappyness.
24.5Β°C
70-74F during summer, 65-68F during winter.
The simplified version
Summer: Day: 76Β°F (24Β°C), Night: 73Β°F (22Β°C)
Winter: Day: 78Β°F (25Β°C), Night: 73Β°F (22Β°C)
76 in the summer and 68 in the winter
Summer time - 75F during the day, 72F at night. Winter time - 68F during the day, 62F at night.
I live in the Midwest US
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.
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!
My folks keep it at 79Β°F during the day and 72Β°F at night.
68F-72F in summer 66ish in the winter. In live in the South East United States and humidity is a bitch
19C in the winter, around 28C in the summer. It helps that in the winter I just keep a space heater near me (I get cold and turn it on at what a thermometer in my room calls 19C).
I'd like to have it at 71f, but it's not going to happen. After a $$$ AC repair i can now get down to 74 instead of 78. Usually around 68-70 in the winter. How come it's always so hot indoors when i go to places with a cold climate?
Currently set to 67F (19.4C) for heating, and I don't have air conditioning but would probably keep it around 76F (24C).The weather here is mild enough that we usually don't need AC in summer.
We're starting to have more and more hot days during summer though, so I'm getting the gas furnace replaced with a heat pump HVAC (which is the term Americans use for a reverse cycle air conditioner) this week. The furnace is 22 years old so it was due for a replacement anyways. I had an 11.2kW solar system installed earlier this year, so I'm trying to move away from gas appliances.
75 summer, 71 winter. Would love to conserve more but my body is a picky jerk.
I have an evaporative cooler it really doesn't have temperature control. It is kind of whatever the outside temperature is -20f degrees with 75% humidity.
74 in the summer and 68 in the winter. Before I met my wife I would keep it at 60 in the winter but she wasn't having it lol (heating oil is expensive). I didn't have central air so my bedroom (window unit) I'd keep at 68-70.
