in the winter. I keep it at 67 at night, maybe up to 70 for a little bit during the day to keep things warm. Or I may just light a fire and turn the heat down to 60.
 
62 overnight & 64-66 when I'm home (I have a programmable thermostat.....

I try to keep mine down at 62 over night, but my son will sometimes get up and adjust it higher... the little hawaiian likes it up to 72, I choke! I like it cold at night, I sleep better.
 
damn northerners lol.. most my friends and family keep their shits at like 80+ i keep mine anywhere from 72 to 75...
 
68 degrees year round. Well.....August in Texas, 73 is satisfactory
 
I keep my apartment at 50-55 during the winter, I'd keep it colder but the pipes might freeze on the out wall.

I'm pretty much a polar bear: big, white, fuzzy, and love the cold.

You're my kind of man!!!

I have the house at 61 in the winter 24/7. Frigging roasted with a down comforter. We've got a tempurpedic now and THAT SOB is hot as hell!

No A/C in the house, just window units in the bedrooms, I think we keep the bedroom somewhere between 65 and 70 in the summer.
 
Mine is set at 58.. But I'll turn it up to 61 or 62 from time to time.
But I love to sleep when it's cooler in the house.
 
Holy shit! I blame the wife, but we used to keep it in the 80's sometimes in NJ. Now it's more towards 72 during the night and I let it go down to 66 or so during the day, but it rarely gets there because the temp doesn't drop down fast enough from the 72 setting until it goes on again the next night.
 
75 all the time day and night.

I like it cold but the more comfy I sleep the harder it is to get up.

Takes way to much effort to get out of bed in the morning to do cardio if its any colder!!

80 is my ideal. I'd have it at 80 if I lived alone.
 
dayum....what with some of the tempertures ya'll are quoting, you would need a second mortgage to pay the electrtic bill in the summer time if you moved to new orleans, lololol.
 
I just keep it at around 63 during the winter cuz I'm not there most of the time. But oh man, at nite.... LOTS of blankets.. Lots!

My cat hates it - he's from S. FL.
 
60 by day, heat off at night......my friends call my house "the Ice Palace" I once got my lease bought out by the landlord of a 2 story duplex because the downstairs tenant couldn't get their apartment warm because my floor was so cold! It would be about 35 by morning.

What are you saying? You were "bought out"? You had to move?

and I don't believe the other apt. couldn't get heat up because of you. That's crazy.

what did the insulation consist of in this building? a couple of snicker's wrappers between the floors? :rolleyes:

lol Yeah. I'm guessing no insualtion in between floors. People don't even do that now because it isn't an exterior wall. I did it only because of sound proofing reasons between floors.

Multi family dwellings may be different though. Still, a whole living space on top of your apt. should make your interior warmr because of the actual soace itself. It holds air and separates it from the bottom living space. That should be enough to keep it warm(er) and definately not give it "trouble" heating up.

Either way, Medical is crazy for letting go down to 30. lol You crazy, dude. Freexing pipes suck. When they thaw, they expand and crack. You'll have flooding in your apt. 45 at LEAST! But hey, you don't own it. lol
 
NOT JUST that but could you imagine the sound if there was no insulation between the floors? You could probably hear EVERYTHING! lol

That's why I hated living in an apt. I used to watxh TV at very low volumes. My wife and I would always fight about me keeping it too low. I didn't want to "bother" the other tenants. I'm anal like that.

No, it wasn't just the TV. I would hold her mouth closed with the palm of my hand when she orgasmed.

Now we have a single family house and one of the first things I did was buy a nice surround sound Home Theater for my living room. Ahhhhh. Now I'm livin'.

We also have loud sex.

NOW I'M LIVIN'
 
I try to put it at around 72, sometimes 73, but my mom always gets annoyed and puts it back down to 70 (where it stays most of the time) so I just wear my hoody and deal with it.

at night then temp is about 69-70, but i sleep in the basement where its probably like 67, and i wake up in the morning freezing cold, it sucks.

i'd have it set to 72 all the time if it were up to me. winter or summer.

55 is as low as my thermostat goes. It generally stays a few degrees warmer then that.
The last few weeks I cranked it up to 60 when it was in the teens and windy as hell outside.
I don't get home until 7pm or later. I just shower, eat and hop under a cover on the couch.
I like to make my money work for me...
 
slat, i would imagine heating costs this time of the year where you are (new hampshire???) are as prohibitive as a/c costs are here in august and september?
 
Some of you people are saving a lot of money. Great.
 
I have an apartment with electric baseboard heating.

I only heat 2 rooms - my room and the bathroom, lol. Keep them around 68ish and the doors closed.

The oil bill was $480 alone last January.
I would rather have a nice blanket then dish that out every month in the winter!
AC in the summer is another story though. I love that stuff!

Man I don't get you, you're afraid of your parents thinking you might be touching a girl but you screw with the thermostat? HOLY CRAP, my kids wouldn't DREAM of touching the thermostat! Don't you know the rules? If you don't pay the heating bill you don't have a right to express an opinion about ambient temperature!

Get a down comforter or sleep in a sleeping bag (72, I'd roast to death).

If your basement is even partially underground I would think it is warmer than the rest of the house, mine is.

I was thinking the same thing....in the 50's.......freaking burr!!

Heat is set at 69 and in the summer about 70/71
My electric bill has already been sky high for my little 1300 sq ft house....try $245.00--that is crazy!
 
my dad kept saying he was going to buy one of those plastic lock boxes for the thermostat, lol

he kept the 'stat at 78 to 80 for the a/c in the summer....i'd roll from one damp side of the bed to the other...had to wait until i heard him snoring to sneak down the hall and drop it to 76 so i could get to sleep.

wow, that's some Big Bucks!! the highest my a/c bill in august or september (our peak usage months down here) was around 180...and that made me kick furniture!! winter natural gas is about half my a/c amount.

geesh that is pretty warm to house down here, I couldn't sleep like that myself. If I put my temp on 78, it feels like 90+ with no breeze.
 
yeh...my father just didn't notice the heat....he drove small trucks for YEARS without a/c. my lil' sis was just like him...she had a black mustang with black vinyl seats, seldom ran the a/c. after her first kid, her hormones swung in the other direction, lol
 
I guess you get use to it if your in it all the time. My beau manages a mechanic shop and I tell you, being in that metal building will take my breath away. All the fans in the world don't help.
 
heat?
a/c?

what are these that you speak of?

my power bill (gas & electric) runs about $65 year round. and that includes a spa.

Landlord let me out of the lease and paid me $200 in moving expenses. It was an old house built in 1908 and devided into a duplex.......most of one of their walls was my stairwell and the wall was just plywood.

I live in an east coast house. I don't like it very much, but at least it's all mine :qt:

lol, wow, i didnt know rules were so strict like that in your house!
my parents are fatter than i am, so they probably sweat more when the temp is hotter.

yes, my house is partially underground, and its way colder in the basement.

Gotta laugh at what everyone considers strict.

In my house, after a certain age a person's body belongs to them. I have no right to tell another adult, even if that adult is my son or daughter, what they can do with their body, and I would never dream of judging that person's behavior or actions.

However, only the person(s) who pay the bills has the right to make financial decisions in my house. Financial decisions include the heat, air conditioning, what kind of cable service, etc.

How can you have a house, and your energy bill only runs you $65 a month? Running a refrigerator alone is usually a dollar or two a day. Hell, the gas portion of my bill is $25, we have a gas hot water heater -- no, not set high -- and a gas stove that gets used about every other day. And you have a spa? How the hell can you get away with $65 a month? How are you cooling the place?
 
i don't have a/c and we have never turned on the heater since moving in 3.5 years ago. there are just 2 of us.

i got all the windows replaced a couple years ago which are much more energy efficient.

You live in CA and you never need to cool it? Damn either you're seriously acclimated, you live in the mountains, or you're C-H-E-A-P.

Are you away a lot or something? You're talking energy usage of only a pinch more than $2 a day in a house, the only people I know who use so little electricity/gas are people who travel a lot, don't cook, don't run a lot of hot water, don't do dishes or laundry, etc.

Put it this way, there are only two people living in my house and our most recent gas/electric bill was $130 (which is why I'm wondering how you're getting away with $65). I don't run shitloads of dishes or laundry and I don't have a spa.
 
i do travel somewhat. it's a small house.

i live within a few miles of the coast, so it's a pretty moderate climate.

actually, the i just had the highest bill i remember which was $92 for dec-jan. it was coldish and we got an electric space heater.
 
My hvac units run 24/7 for circulation, even when the heat is off.

Yes it is. Yes it does.


Yep. Nope.

Maybe I will. Eventually, yes.
 
I've actually been setting my heat at about 55 and using our fireplace with the air blower insert. It sure works well after the fire gets going. After this last ice storm we had this winter, I'll always have a wooden fireplace in my house so I can stay alive. :) I kinda like being alive and all.
 
for one billing cycle i tried keeping the natural gas powered central heat thermostat set at 64 and running a new charmglow ventless gas space heater in the living room....electric bill went down, as the blower for the central heating system wasn't running as much....but my natural gas bill went up more than the electric bill went down.

sigh

back to keeping the central heat system set at 69 during the day, 60 at night.
