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

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

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

Winter 70-72 all the time.

75 in the summer and 68 in the winter

[–] ptman@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Minimum, but it still doesn't get below 23C in the winter

For A/C I like it warmer than most office buildings, around 27°C/81°F, which means it's usually off outside of summer heat waves. My current place in Vancouver has no A/C.

Winter the heater's usually at 21°C/70°F.

27?! I would actually die. We keep ours at 19.

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

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

In winter I light the fire, in summer I open the windows, the temperature range goes from chilly to toasty. I don't have exact numbers on that.

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.

76F summer 74F winter

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Summer for ac it is about 76f

75f if it gets extra humid for some reason then we’ll push it down by one degree

But at night 78f for the ac.

Although if it’s nice outside we’ll turn it off and open windows.

Winter it’s 69 or 72 for during the day depending on a few factors. If I’m just sitting working in the computer it’s closer to 72 but up and moving around maybe 69.

66 f at night

Btw I’m in Minnesota US.

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.

[–] Notnotmike@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Surreal@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (6 children)

86F/30C. Turn on the fan and it's cool

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.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[–] AttackBunny@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

During summer 78-80. 78 is for husband. But prefer windows open as much as possible. Winter 70 or so. 75 if I’m really feeling like being a little less uncomfortable and paying out the ass for it.

I’m weird though. I generally think 80ish is my happy place.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I let visitors change it at will, but I always keep it above the minimum temperature for water to evaporate as a temperature reference.
