What type of climate do you live in and what is your thermostat setting?

It is NOT the cold that makes you sick.

It is the fact that your house is closed up and full of viruses and germs!!

We open the house up, every chance we get. And yes, "even below zero, it was heat off and window an doors open for sleeping".

We are hot during summer, and cold in winter. Perfect during spring and summer.

During the summer, we set the temp at 70 simply because the heat pump doesn't like being below 70. When we had decent air conditioning we would set it at 65. It is hard to sleep when nighttime temperatures do not drop below 70.

During the winter, we generally set the temp at 74 during the day.

Our electricity prices are so low it doesn't make sense to suffer the heat and cold.

Seattle may get into the 90’s in any given summer. But usually with low humidity and not long lasting. AC is not necessary. But if you are wealthy, go for it!

I chose "COOL Climate; <70 on the thermostat."

I'm in Maine, where the long winters can get pretty cold. Our summers, though short, can be in the 70s and 80s, and there's usually a brief period of going up to the 90s. I don't have A/C, and just use fans when it's that hot. Most of the summer is pleasant and around 70-75. I keep my thermostat at around 62-64°F from about Oct. thru about May, and turn it off in the warmer months.

Yes, agreed. Dress for the season and save on your heating. I live in a climate that is cold in the winter but very hot in the summer. Shorts are essential from Late May to early September. I like to keep my leg exercises up to date just for show. Strange funny habit! But I think many males understand.
