Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

Usually 72° F / 22.22°C. But my wife likes to turn it down on the really hot days were the AC doesn’t quite keep up. I try to explain the AC is running all out, turning it down does not help. And we certainly do not have one of the high end units that can throttle, it is either on or off.

76F in the summer, 72F during the day in the winter, 68F at night in the winter.

68-75. This means if it's between those numbers, the HVAC doesn't turn on.

[-] Dr_Cog@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Does it turn off at the near or far end of that range?

What I mean is, if it were 76 and your cooling turned on, would it shut off at 75 or at 68?

71F always, year round

on winters, I don't go above 20°C. on summers, I completely turn off the heater and even cut the gas, have all the two windows fully open for the rest of the season. I have an AC system installed, tho it's really old and consumes too much power for my likings. In my country they fucking rob people with electricity/gas bills, it's the fetish of our president. Also the AC unit is in a wrong place and haven't even cleaned it in years, so... it's just decoration at this point.

my luck is that I have neighbors on two sides and under me (I'm at first floor) so I don't really need to crank up the heater, because I'm already surrounded by heated homes. since my home is small, heating with gas is extra cheap for me.

I'm from Europe.

76F summer 74F winter

[-] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I have electric panel heaters so there isn't a thermostat. I'd normally turn one on in the main room and bedroom for a couple of hours each day during winter, but last winter my electricity rates were so high that I just used them on the coldest days. The thermometer in my bedroom dropped below 10°C, it wasn't fun.

74 during the day, 70-72 when I go to sleep

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

77F - day 75F - night.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Somewhere between 15 to 20 during summer and Somewhere north of 25 during winter for me.

Hah, thermostat

I'm the top floor apartment

My AC is set to 70f, it's currently 82f inside at about 0100.

My bedroom is 85f

If it could do the job I'd have it set to 75f and ideally keep it there but unfortunately I have to set it to 70 because the area near (like within a meter) the AC gets cold enough to get it to kick off any higher while the apartment cooks

House only has a traditional heating system with no temperature control. In summer I just drink a lot of water and wear short sleeves, in winter it's the lowest setting that can keep me from freezing.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

You could probably just replace the dumb thermostat with an electronic one that regulates by temperature if you want. They are quite simple.

[-] Jazsta@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I do 80F during the day and 78F at night in the pacific northwest US. It usually gets cold enough at night that opening windows will cool my house to the low 70s overnight. In the winter I have it set to 68F. I use ceiling fans and appropriate clothing to stay comfortable within those parameters.
