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.
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.
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.
73 in spring, summer, and fall. 67 in the winter.
Programmed for 19C during the day and ramping up to 21C at night.
16C flat at all other times.
I do 26c, my partner likes 24c.
24 Celsius, which is about 76.5 f. My husband disagrees.
Currently, it is 76F during non-sleeping hours, and 72F during sleeping hours.
I let visitors change it at will, but I always keep it above the minimum temperature for water to evaporate as a temperature reference.
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.
If it were up to me 17°C/63F, I can manage pretty good by blinds and windows open in the evening but I like to run the A/C an hour or two a day to help. In the winter, just leave the windows open to cool off its like -20°C out that's good enough to cool it to whatever feels good. I can't stand heat.
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.
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.
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.
24°C / 75°F during summer, 20°C / 68°F during winter.
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.
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
74 during the day, 70-72 when I go to sleep
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....
