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

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.

I do 26c, my partner likes 24c.

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.

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.

[–] AlternateRoute@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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.

74 during the day, 70-72 when I go to sleep

[–] Notnotmike@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year 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

[–] rayyyy@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] primetime00@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

76F summer 74F winter

[–] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Programmed for 19C during the day and ramping up to 21C at night.

16C flat at all other times.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

I generally try for 18-19c in winter, and I usually see 24c in summer, though the AC can bring this down to about 21 most of the time. With the AC off, it's more like 26-28.

I'd keep the windows open more, but climate change has been causing massive wildfires where the air is too unhealthy to breathe....

[–] radix@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

19C in the winter, around 28C in the summer. It helps that in the winter I just keep a space heater near me (I get cold and turn it on at what a thermometer in my room calls 19C).

[–] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I have electric panel heaters so there isn't a thermostat. I'd normally turn one on in the main room and bedroom for a couple of hours each day during winter, but last winter my electricity rates were so high that I just used them on the coldest days. The thermometer in my bedroom dropped below 10°C, it wasn't fun.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Somewhere between 15 to 20 during summer and Somewhere north of 25 during winter for me.

[–] Tuss@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Whatever my renting company sets it at.

It usually is around 20-21C

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Summer: 73 during the day, 78 at night.

Winter: 65 all the time
