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.
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.
I don't have AC and haven't really needed it this year. I'm way north in New Hampshire.
We keep the heat at 63-65f(about 17c) in the winter, but occasionally go up to 67 when it's warmer out and the furnace doesn't have to work as hard to keep it there.
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
If it were up to me 17°C/63F, I can manage pretty good by blinds and windows open in the evening but I like to run the A/C an hour or two a day to help. In the winter, just leave the windows open to cool off its like -20°C out that's good enough to cool it to whatever feels good. I can't stand heat.
I let visitors change it at will, but I always keep it above the minimum temperature for water to evaporate as a temperature reference.
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.
It's been mid 70s here in the day and mid 50s at night just about all summer so far. Bought two window air conditioners but never bothered to install them. We open windows at night and close them in the day.
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
Usually around 74F in the summer but I'll bump it if the temps outside hit the mid 90s. 64 in the winter, I like it cold. I run a portable AC in the master bedroom during the summer while we sleep. Bit of a story there.
We do somewhere between 72 and 76. But at night in the peak of summer we'll bump it down to 70. Our bedroom is on the top floor and can often be several degrees hotter than the lower floor where the thermostat is, so for a few weeks in the summer we have to really crank it.
I'm told we should look into a vent fan to help distribute the air better but I haven't taken the time to put in the effort yet, I'm sad to say
Summer Cooling 22C - 23 C (71.6F to 73.4) in Winter Heating 20 C- 20.5C (68 F - 68.9 F) Since we have large summer and winter seasonal temperature differences we are all dressed more warmly in the winter so a lower over set point.
24°C / 75°F during summer, 20°C / 68°F during winter.
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.
You could probably just replace the dumb thermostat with an electronic one that regulates by temperature if you want. They are quite simple.
