I have an evaporative cooler it really doesn't have temperature control. It is kind of whatever the outside temperature is -20f degrees with 75% humidity.

68F-72F in summer 66ish in the winter. In live in the South East United States and humidity is a bitch

I live in a campervan and so have no temperature control in the traditional sense. Closest thing would be the Maxxfan with thermostatic fan control and it's set to 68F. As long as external temps are lower than internal temps it does a reasonable job.

Currently set to 67F (19.4C) for heating, and I don't have air conditioning but would probably keep it around 76F (24C).The weather here is mild enough that we usually don't need AC in summer.

We're starting to have more and more hot days during summer though, so I'm getting the gas furnace replaced with a heat pump HVAC (which is the term Americans use for a reverse cycle air conditioner) this week. The furnace is 22 years old so it was due for a replacement anyways. I had an 11.2kW solar system installed earlier this year, so I'm trying to move away from gas appliances.

My folks keep it at 79°F during the day and 72°F at night.

70F set it and forget about it until i woke up freezing at the middle of a night.

77F normally

Summer time - 75F during the day, 72F at night. Winter time - 68F during the day, 62F at night.

I live in the Midwest US

I'd like to have it at 71f, but it's not going to happen. After a $$$ AC repair i can now get down to 74 instead of 78. Usually around 68-70 in the winter. How come it's always so hot indoors when i go to places with a cold climate?

Summer - cool to 76 around the house. 68 for sleeping.

Winter - warm to 70 around the house. 65 for sleeping, with a heavier comforter.

72 during the day and 68 at night.

74 in the summer and 68 in the winter. Before I met my wife I would keep it at 60 in the winter but she wasn't having it lol (heating oil is expensive). I didn't have central air so my bedroom (window unit) I'd keep at 68-70.

I program mine to run less when we're not home. On top of that I set a "super cool" routine on weekends when it's going to be hot outside.

You see, the a/c is most efficient when it's cooler already. So in the last hour of darkness in the summer I set it to run down to 68 or so. Then it doesn't have to run as long to do that. Then it doesn't have to run again for several hours as the temperature is set back to 72.

I also clean the outside coils annually and put up a sun sail so that the outside unit is shaded all day. This has helped save a lot of money along with the thermostat programming.

Mine is set at 80 degrees during the summer. During the winter it is at 60 or maybe 65. I live in an over 100 year old dog trot style house in Alabama with only attic insulation and the original single pane double hung windows.

65° while I sleep, 68°-70° while I'm home, off while I'm not

In the summer 78F during the day but I spend most of that time in the basement because that's where my office is and 68F at night to sleep.

During the winter 68F all day err' day

Summer time 20C (68F)

stays on 73F year round , AC and heat. Average bill runs around $80.

I'm in Denver Summer: 80° in the day, 70° at night Winter: 73° in the day, 63° at night

There is no one right temperature — it depends on the humidity. In the winter I often have heat at 71. In the summer 68.

Chiming in to say comparing thermostat settings between houses is comparing apples to oranges. Your AC is only "on" or "off," changing the thermostat setting only changes how much time it's on vs how much time it's off.

On a 100° day, the HVAC in a well-insulated house with double paned windows and solid weatherization is going to be able to maintain 77° with little effort, where a poorly insulated, leaky house may struggle to even reach 77° with the HVAC running continuously. These two houses may have their thermostats set the same but their internal temperatures and energy usage will be different, maybe even radically different

25.5 C (78F) in the summer, 21 C (71F) in the winter

Just moved into a house with ac for the first time and it is well insulated and lots of shade from trees. At night before bed I set it to 68, and in the morning I set it to 74. Even when we had 100 degree days it never got above 73 inside, so basically I only run the AC at night.

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.

75 in the summer and 68 in the winter

Cincinnati. 66 at night 70 during the day during the summer, sometimes 72.

Winter 70-72 all the time.
