where do ya'll set ur thermostats at?

Upstairs 58/60 during the day, 62/63 at night. Unless the kids and wife are out of town, then 58 max upstairs.

Downstairs stays at 64/65. With the basement @ 58.

It's always easier to warm up that it is to cool down in my house. And my 4 year old likes to be on the cool side.

I did get 50 free gallons of oil from a friend this year, so that makes it a bit easier to get by. We run a kerosene heater downstairs on days when it's below freezing outside. A few hours in the AM and then before bed really helps out.

I need to get a good wood stove for next season. My father got 16 gallons of oil on his last delivery. Only uses about 150 gallons a year. I go thru nearly 1000 gallons. Old plank house with minimal insulation.

We have one too (one of those whimpy fireplaces though that they have down south). We use it 4-5 times per year.

Anyway, thermo is always between 65-70 year round.

loom at my no K having ass. I lost all of it on the damn playoff games
 
I just bumped mine up to 58, I'm getting a bit of a cold but as soon as I feel better it's back to 55.

It's set to around 63, but i would prefer it a little colder. we have a wood burning stove that generates a TON of heat. It's in the living room with cathedral ceilings, so i put the ceiling fan on low and it moves the heat around the house.
 
We don't have it on all winter as lots of times it is in the 70's and 80's and we used the AC in the winter. We have had the heat on a few times this winter though and we keep it at 72.
 
It's about 68 at my house. My poor baby freezes his ass off. I gotta keep my 5 week old son in 3 layers of clothes because his daddy always gets 2hot.
 
winter I set it at 68 during the day, 66 at night
summer it sits on 76 when nobody is home, 72 if sombody is and 70 at night

summer my bill is 300-350/ mo, winter it's 250-350/mo, I have an all electric house w/ fireplace...
 
WOW i'm totally wasting energy keeping mine at 75 compared to you guys. 75 seems like a normal temp to me.

How do you guys keep it so cold? I hate even being cold for one second.

I just need to suck it up and wear more clothes I guess.

Mine has nothing to do with economics, I think it's too hot if it's over 60. The only reason I don't set my thermostat lower in the winter is it doesn't go any lower. Plus the pipes could freeze.

69 (love that numba!) during the day, 64 at night/when i am at work.

i'd like to set it lower but this 1880's, 12 foot ceiling house takes too long for recovery with a greater differnential.... :(
