    60 While I'm at work or sleeping, then typically between 68-70 during the evening.

    68. We live on the second floor of a two story apartment. We actually run the AC most of the Winter. We keep it at 74 in the summer. Our downstairs neighbors are from Nigeria. They hate cold. We can tell!!!!!!

    Around 70-ish. Our thermostat is old and not reliable... and with baseboard heaters... well... Actual temp varies greatly.

    62-65 which means I freeze but I hate paying the gas bill. :)
    So lots of warm fuzzy slippers and sweaters.

    Our house is over 100 years old, so it has bad insulation. So we have to keep the heat a little high. Its usually on 70

    62 during the weekday when at work, 70 during the evening and weekends when home and 65 at night when sleeping
    This is pretty close to what I do. There's no way I'd make it if it were set to 61 all the time. But apartments are different than houses... you get everyone else's heat too.

    i dont like to use heat at all, everyone has to wear a sweater if they're cold. i do however use the ac ( i get really hot) so i set the ac to come on only if its over 74 in the house.

    my husband gets cold before i do, so sometimes he sneaks the heater on for a little bit. but never heating past 68 deg. seriously, wear warmer clothes. we have pretty mild weather so i jsut dont see the need for the heat.

    I keep mine at 74 - and it's affordable even though my house is nearly 100 years old, since we put in a new energy-efficient furnace.

    My bf likes it at 68 when we're home, 65 at night for sleeping and 60 when we're out.

    I am always cold, so I am constantly in hoodies and slippers and use a blanket on the couch and at my computer and turn it up to 70 and use a space heater when that isn't enough for me.

    SAME. I'd turn it up higher if I could afford it. My sisters think it's because I'm a reptile...

    I WOULD have it set to 21 but at the moment they are all off and we are benefiting from our downstairs neighbors heat which means if I don't keep the windows open I'm at 26 degrees... which considering its only 8 degrees outside is a bit too high !!!

    Sorry I'm European I can't do 'big numbers'

    double it and add 30.

    My heat is always at 72. During the summer my house doesn't hit 72 but during the winter I keep it at 72 and because of all the drafts it feels like it's freezing. ):

    Edited to add: The hottest it got in the summer - with no heat on - was 68. :) It's weird. Can't retain heat in the winter but doesn't overheat in the summer. Odd little house.

    I don't turn it on at all. I just put another blanket on. My Husband will put it at 72 at night sometimes though.

    You must live near me. It was 80 yesterday here. I was sweating while putting the Christmas lights up.

    I woke up this morning with it being 56 degrees outside and my boyfriend running the AC around 65 degrees. He said it was 'too hot'. I could have killed him!

    Either way, I've never had to run the heat here either. Hooray FL weather :tongue:

    64 when we're sleeping
    66-70 if it's really cold out. We live in SC and there aren't many days like that!
