Poll of the Day > What temp is your heater set to in the daytime during winter?

(+) Yeah! (+)

And is that setting too warm or too cold for you?

55F, I hate to pay heating bills. I wear layers of clothes in the winter, like to curl up on the couch under blankets.

What kind of masochist sets their heat higher than 79? That's not a home, that's a sauna.

64-66.

i dont use one

Usually 68, sometimes kick it up as high as 70.

68 is pretty cold for me, but tolerable. So funny how outdoors 68 is totally fine, indoors it's border line frigid.

my sleeping temperature is like 22.5C (72.5F) and my daytime temp is like 24C (75.2F).

it varies a bit though since I have issues with my furnace, the thermostat is on an outside wall when it shouldn't be, and this place has terrible insulation.

I've got an apartment with steam heat, so there's not really a set temperature. But last winter I had some chocolate in my room that melted while I was at work one day so it can build up and get pretty toasty.

Dont really have a need for a heater where I am

I dont have to pay for heat where I live, so thats not much of a factor.

I keep it low during the day, but I crank it overnight because I hate waking up really cold, and there must be an issue with my bedrooms windows (like they arent properly insulated or something) because it gets COLD in there

heater?

I run AC even in the winter, just at a lower power. I like my room to be exactly 16C (or 18C and high humidity)
---

I have those temp things with the little tab slider at the bottom so it's kinda ambigous, I guess around 22c?

Usually between 68-70, though that's mostly because I live with a woman and she doesn't allow me to have opinions about my own home's temperature.

If I had full and total control, I'd probably have it somewhere between 64-66 or so.

68-71ish, but it hasnt gotten cold enough this year yet to need the heater. Was cool earlier this week but now back up to the mid 80s
---

Not sure. We usually dont have to use an electric heater because we use the fireplace, but before we get substantial rain its not a good idea. We usually get rain by now. Darn California.

65F in the day, 62F at night

If it gets super cold outside, like subzero temps (not entirely uncommon in Chicago during the winter), then I bump it up to about 70F and run the water at a drip to keep the pipes from freezing.

68, I can usually tolerate that as long as I have a hoodie.
---

My dad lives with me (don't say the reverse, I pay rent and he's been w/o a job for 3+ yrs)
And he refuses to let me set the temp to anything lower than 75 or so if even so I always have the fan on even in the Winter sometimes -_-. If I didn't follow this I'd hear endless *****ing. I don't really mind that much though because his health is bad so he needs to be taken care of as much as possible.

68F to keep the basement pipes from freezing

However much I need to keep it warm inside. I hate being cold...
