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!
77F normally
Summer - cool to 76 around the house. 68 for sleeping.
Winter - warm to 70 around the house. 65 for sleeping, with a heavier comforter.
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.
70F set it and forget about it until i woke up freezing at the middle of a night.
75 summer, 71 winter. Would love to conserve more but my body is a picky jerk.
I live in a campervan and so have no temperature control in the traditional sense. Closest thing would be the Maxxfan with thermostatic fan control and it's set to 68F. As long as external temps are lower than internal temps it does a reasonable job.
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.
For A/C I like it warmer than most office buildings, around 27Β°C/81Β°F, which means it's usually off outside of summer heat waves. My current place in Vancouver has no A/C.
Winter the heater's usually at 21Β°C/70Β°F.
27?! I would actually die. We keep ours at 19.
75 in the summer and 68 in the winter
Usually 72Β° F / 22.22Β°C. But my wife likes to turn it down on the really hot days were the AC doesnβt quite keep up. I try to explain the AC is running all out, turning it down does not help. And we certainly do not have one of the high end units that can throttle, it is either on or off.
At some point it will freeze up, stop working, and you can say "see?!" while it thaws. But no one will acknowledge you were correct and tried to warn them. But you'll know.
25.5 C (78F) in the summer, 21 C (71F) in the winter
There is no one right temperature β it depends on the humidity. In the winter I often have heat at 71. In the summer 68.
I'm in Denver Summer: 80Β° in the day, 70Β° at night Winter: 73Β° in the day, 63Β° at night
I like to keep my home at 16Β°C (60.8Β°F) when possible. Summers are hell.

In which CGPGrey discusses ordering parts to replace inside of hotel A/Cs so that he set the room temp to 16ΒΊ. Quite chilly, btw, why do you need that??
That sounds awesome!
Chiming in to say comparing thermostat settings between houses is comparing apples to oranges. Your AC is only "on" or "off," changing the thermostat setting only changes how much time it's on vs how much time it's off.
On a 100Β° day, the HVAC in a well-insulated house with double paned windows and solid weatherization is going to be able to maintain 77Β° with little effort, where a poorly insulated, leaky house may struggle to even reach 77Β° with the HVAC running continuously. These two houses may have their thermostats set the same but their internal temperatures and energy usage will be different, maybe even radically different
Just moved into a house with ac for the first time and it is well insulated and lots of shade from trees. At night before bed I set it to 68, and in the morning I set it to 74. Even when we had 100 degree days it never got above 73 inside, so basically I only run the AC at night.
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
Cincinnati. 66 at night 70 during the day during the summer, sometimes 72.
Winter 70-72 all the time.
Minimum, but it still doesn't get below 23C in the winter
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.
I don't! My windows are open all year here in Chicago.
You have your windows open in winter in Chicago? In a single family home your pipes would or rather could freeze in winter. In an apartment depending on how warm the neighbors get their place and heart can radiate through walls that might work. In the summer though Damn that would get warm.
I don't have AC and haven't really needed it this year. I'm way north in New Hampshire.
We keep the heat at 63-65f(about 17c) in the winter, but occasionally go up to 67 when it's warmer out and the furnace doesn't have to work as hard to keep it there.
Mine is set at 80 degrees during the summer. During the winter it is at 60 or maybe 65. I live in an over 100 year old dog trot style house in Alabama with only attic insulation and the original single pane double hung windows.
