Default What do you set your thermostat at?

I think I posted this before, but with cog fog, I don't remember.

In the summer we set our A/C at 78, in the winter, same. what is your comfort temp?

In the cold weather its on 68 during the day and 65 at night. I rarely bump it up, but when I do I use the 2 hour window my electronic thermostat gives me. I bump it by one or two degrees, and it will stay that way for 2 hours, and go back to its normal setting.

In the summertime I leave the windows open as long as I can, until it reaches about 75. At that point I turn on the AC till the house is about 70.

I have a range of about 65 to 73 that is survivable for me. go past it in either direction and I get all full of sx and spastic, and cog fog and visual stuff.

In the summer we set it at 75.
In the winter, it's 65 during the day, 60 at night for sleeping or when we're not home.

My mom has to wear layers when she comes over in the winter, she thinks we're nuts but we're acutally pretty comfortable (and nuts)

70 in the summer........68 in the winter. I rarely fluctuate from these temps. If I do it's usually in the winter when I'll raise it to 70 but no higher. Seems like the bedrooms stay cooler than the main living areas in the house.

The weather is still falling back and springing forward so, it's set at 62.

Normally I have it set at 65 year around.
During the winter, I turn it down to 60 at night....I like it cool.
