What temperature do you set your heating to (or air con if you're somewhere hot)

[DisturbedPervert]

Never lived anywhere where I've used heating.   In cars just have used it for a few minutes in the morning to get it warmed up.  Had to use it hotels in Europe in winter but don't know what settings.

With air con I keep it on the low 70s.

I set it to 20 C in the summer. It doesn't actually manage to ever cool the room down that far, so I just run it until I'm comfortable.

[BVN]

21 - 22 C in the winter. Don't have airco for the summer.

[Grey Fox]

70 to 75, for all seasons.

[Razgovory]

I like the mid 60's Cause I'm fat.  But jeez you Euros really do like the cold.

[KRonn]

Heat is on 65-70 degrees F. Or about 20 C which is 68F. A/C I use window units and don't really have thermostats on for them, but I use them sparingly except in upstairs bedrooms where it gets a lot hotter.

[Neil]

12 C

21 deg. C here. I'm considering resetting it to 22, though (I LIKE the warm, although in these energy conscious days I guess that makes me  .)

I have joined the "put a jumper on" brigade, but that's mainly because energy costs are so frickin' high these days.

Heating is 23C in winter, when I have lived in hot countries the AC has been set to 21C.

Actually, I'm not as evil as I make out. The thermostat that controls our system was installed in the hall, which I knew from experience was the coldest room in the house (what with the front door and stairs being there etc.) I wasn't asked my opinion, of course...

Unfortunately, despite twenty years of experience, the empirical evidence of the last two years seems to prove that far from being the coldest, the hall is paradoxically the warmest area in the whole bloody house. One feels cold in every other room in the house before the bloody heating turns on with it set at 21!

Usually 72F.  This time of year we need neither heat nor cooling, normally.  But this has been an unusually cold year so we actually have the heat on late at night sometimes now. 

Resisted temptation to crank the heat, so far.  Seems to get just warm enough during the day to keep the upstairs fairly comfortable throughout the night, though we have a space heater in Tommy's room just to be on the safe side.  I actually hope it gets a little colder so I have an excuse to make use of the fireplace

Anywho, for heat I keep the thermostat at 68, and for AC I keep it at 72.

Have you got one of those weird Yanqui central air thingies? Otherwise I'd have thought you could just leave it on overnight and it won't switch on unless it goes under the thermostat setting.

My place is above a couple who apparantly are always cold.  I never turn the heat higher than 65 unless it is a Laramie deep freeze night.

This pretty much exactly describes how I do it.  In winter, i keep it warm enough that a sweatshirt or sweater is comfortable, and in summer cool enough that, with all the ceiling fans on, I am cool enough.  So far, have not turned on heat since mid-April.

18-19 C.
