What do you keep your thermostat set to?
Winter/Daytime etc.
WD: 68 WN:65 SD:76 SN:78 |
Winter, 24/7= 62
Summer = whatever we get from Sol. |

I go between 60 and 62 in the winter. If I feel really cold I use a bunch of blankets and one small electric heater every now and them.
Summer, I just try to keep it bearable. My window ACs can be running constantly and it might still be 80 or more inside. Bleh... |
You can't know, because I put electrical tape over it, and wrote "DO NOT TOUCH" on the wall, in sharpie.

Summer is 78 all day/night (which actually applies for about 9 months of the year.)
Winter is 70/68 |
WD:62-64, WN:53-57°F
Summer - uncontrolled |
68 winter (only due to wife's whining)
65 summer would be 65 year round but Mary whines and cries about "freezing" at 68 as it is. I can be lounging in my undies in front of an open window (no, I cannot be seen from outside) and she will be bundled in fleece jammies, double socks and a blanket...shivering and claiming to be "cold". There's something wrong with her...I just know it! |
Do not have.

68 winter, but the wife keeps turning it up at night.
72 summer. |
Winter - 65 daytime, 55 - night (I use a thick comforter and two toasty cats)
Summer - as cool as my ancient room conditioner can get it. When it gets too hot, I head for the mountains. |

But due to 72yo father the heating is on more than I would like. |
Ah, the Brits are a hardy folk !

winter: usually none, unless it's the first thing in the morning when my nephew first come then we turn it on until the temp shows 23 celcius. after a little while, we shut it off.
summer: around 80 on the a/c thermostat, that means it's a bit warm in the home, but we bear it. keeps the electric bill down. |
In South Eastern England (and especially in my protected Vale home) we get nothing like the temperatures you do. Our current overnight lows barely hit zero (32) and it's generally 10-16 (50-60).
Snow is unusual where I live. A hard frost is more likely, but having to scrape your car windscreen for more than three days in a row is too. I am hardy as it happens. Walking into work I consider anything above 53 to be T-shirt weather. But that's because it's a mile uphill. I take a jacket or my cloak on Mondays because I have playground duty and am static for 15 minutes. I don't go for the hat, the scarf, the gloves and the boots that other teachers and TAs deem essential. And I walk back into the over-heated classroom reluctantly, rather than feeling relief at finally being warm! A/C in private homes is extremely rare here. I have been in a millionaire's house and they didn't have it. But with scorching summer tremperatures that might reach the giddy heights of 32 (90) for one day every year, we find a way to live without it. I melt at anything over 23 (73) but mobile fans and lying down tend to deal with that. Oh and sweating copiously. Still, at least I don't commute by Tube any more. |
