I stop once my wife says she is comfortable......even if I am in a T shirt, sweating buckets and she says Honey, I am cold...up the temp goes...I do not want to listen to her.....LOL
We keep our thermostat set at 70 degrees, 24/7, year-round. If it calls for heat the heat comes on; if it calls for a/c the a/c comes on. During winter months I open the bedroom window at night, because 70 is too warm for me to sleep in. In the summer, the ceiling fan goes on.
To be honest though, for a good 4+ months of the year we have it shut off entirely and just have the windows open. Tucson living at it's finest.
Keeping the heat on? I wish that was a "thing" for us here. Honestly. We are in South Texas, it was near 80 today, fans going, have used the heater now maybe a week or two total this "winter". Ours is a large modern gas space heater and it doesn't get much use. Yeah it's a money savings but I want it to be cold, darnit!
62F. But we also run a wood stove, so it's usually higher than that in the winter, from 70-75F. In the summer it's at 62F as well, which is about where it stays naturally, though the boiler will kick on during stretches of cooler, rainier days. Inside at least, I often wear long sleeves and fur slippers in the summer, and shorts in the winter.
At night, it doesn't matter what the temperature is because he has a wool mattress pad, flannel sheets, down comforter, and wool blankets....
I wouldn't mind that but you still have to get out of the bed in the morning. My friends and I used to do some fairly serious winter camping down to temps below 0. Wasn't so bad in the tent, putting those cold boots on in the morning sucked though.
I'm in Va. Temps have been in the teens to 20's. I always keep my heat at 68. If the gr babies weren't here it would be down to 63-65. I couldn't stand the temp to be above 70. Way too hot for me. Central heat.
