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

[Valmy]

Edit: Looking at a map, I believe we passed through Houston and San Antonio as we took a rather southern route before heading into New Mexico. I BELIEVE we stopped off in Juarez (edit #2 or actually el paso, we never went into mexico though we DID get stopped by immigration and had a hell of a time).

Juarez used to be a great place to go but thanks to the drug war it is one of the most dangerous places in the world right now.  Bizarrely El Paso is one of the safest cities in the United States and they are right beside each other.

Whitey can do law and order.

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. 

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.

I have a multistage heat pump that provides central heating and cooling, yes.

Yeah, my real point is that summer in Beaumont, Texas for example is drastically different than summer in El Paso.

A wet heat vs. a dry heat? 

Not all that drastic.

Now winter, is probably rather different.  San Angelo (Not El Paso, but still very much west Texas) was butt-cold in the winter.

  In my experience a humid summer feels drastically different from a dry one.  Beaumont is in like the bayou country, right?  I'm sure the summer is like New Orleans.

Depending on humidity (I'm just this side of having asthma), I usually set heating to 68-70 and air conditioning to 72-74.

My AC is set at 75°F for most of the year. Houston doesn't see much temperature variation.

Maybe it's just me.  To me, when it gets to 90's and up, it's just "fucking hot".

It's snowing outside.  I won't turn the heat on.

68 to 70, of course the last week it finally died , good thing weather has been ok and all the windows are open and the ceiling fans circulate the air good enough, which we do at this time of year anyway.

Here too.

And since I don't live in an apartment I had to turn the heat on awhile ago.  I keep the thermostat at 17-18C.

  Humidity = the devil.

I set the heat for 64 in the winter and the A/C for 67 in the summer. If it feels cool in the winter than I just use my wood stove to heat up the family room.
