What temperature do you keep your house at on a cold day??
 

What temperature do you keep your house at on a day like today? I tried the 74 like we had up North but that seems too cold. Not sure if it is because we had gas heat and here we have a heat pump? I nearly froze last night with the temp at 75.

68 when the heat is on and 74 when the A/C is running.

AC 74; don't know about heat, haven't turned it on yet.

75 - A/C and Heat.

Heat on: 68 day, 65 night

A/C on: 78 day and night

Maybe our floors are just cold from the laminate but that seems too cold for me.

Set it at whatever YOU are comfortable with. That is my feeling.

I go visit some villagers and it is like a sauna and I cannot wait to leave. Others must think they are a doctors office or a restaurant and try to freeze me out.

71 for heat
77 for AC

I almost never put heat on at night no matter the temperature. I get up in AM and set to 71.

The issue I have is that 'one of us' forgets the temperatures are different for heat and AC. I have come home twice on a hot day and thought what the :cold:. The house is on AC and the temp is 71.

For whatever reason 71 with the AC on feels much colder that 71 with heat on.

I know that makes no sense, but just how it feels to me... :shrug:

It will vary from house to house based on not only the perception of the occupants, but also where the thermostat is located as that is the point where the Heating or Air Conditioning will be attempting to maintain the temperature at your setting. I lived in one home where the thermostat was on a wall that had the laundry room on the other side. While running the dryer, the A/C would freeze us out in the rest of the house...until I figured out what was happening. Since then, I have used a remotely controlled thermostat (Venstar) and now my system maintains temperature in whichever room I have the remote in.

I prefer 68 during the day, off at night, just a cosy duvet. My husband prefers 74 all the time.
It's a dilemma when one likes it cool and one likes it hot.

Used to do 70 heat and 78 a/c in MI. Down here it's 73 heat and 76 to 78 a/c.

73 heat and 78 A/C seems to work for us.

70 for heat, 78 AC day, 76 AC night.

Same here.

Does anyone know approximately how much of a savings I can expect utilizing gas heat instead of electric in a 1500 square foot home in TV?
