Current Events > What temperature do your keep your thermostat?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just saw a tweet asking Californians to keep A/C to 78. That is absolutely insane to me. I keep mine from 70-72.

I have a garbage landlord that insists my central AC works despite it obviously not doing so, so I just have a window unit AC that I run until I get cold.

don't have air conditioning, so somewhere around whatever it happens to be outside

I am going to be marketing a drink called Tropical Panic

76-78 feels good to me.

69

72 when AC is on, 69 when heat is on

I don't keep it set at anything cause I don't have a real thermostat.

Whenever it gets too hot (about 78F+) I'll turn the AC on (set for like 5C cause the fucking thing is set in Celsius) until it gets too cold (about 69F) then I turn it off manually.

It takes fucking all night to even drop like 5 degrees

And this is all year because my room will get that hot even with the heat off and it being freezing outside

74

77 to 79 in the summer. Anything below 76, and I start freezing. I was born in the tropics though, so that might have something to do with it.

70 to 72 in the winter. I have more clothes on then.

72 in the winter, 76 in the summer (if I had central air, which I don't right now)

I have a window AC in my room since my room gets super hot in the summer and the house AC sucks in my room... I usually keep it at like 62-65... I like it cold...

83 all year day and night

From 5:30am - 9:30pm, 74 degrees.

Then 69 degrees from 9:30pm - 5:30am

All year

73

78 to 80 in the summer. People running too much AC is detrimental.

I'm in AZ and keep it at 82, and even then I'm still sitting here with a blanket on.

I've been keeping mine at 80 during the day and 76 at night. I used to think 80 was hot, but I guess I'm used to it now.

Then tell them to stop charging us for electricity and make it a publicly funded utility.

We used to have central cooling/heating in our old house and in the summer it was a fucking fridge

no temperature control at all in this apt

72-73

How's that gonna stop it from negatively impacting the environment?

I keep mine at 78-80

In the summer, I lower it to about 65-68 before I go to bed. It's preference, but there's also science behind sleeping in a chillier environment. I keep it on AC but just let it heat up to 70-72 naturally in the morning. Sometimes a degree chillier or hotter throughout the day, but not usually more than that.

I believe I reads somewhere that 78 is the most efficient/economical temperature to keep your AC at during hot weather. But that's too hot for me! But then again I just make it hotter outside by making such a stark difference between indoors and outdoors. But then again again, hot is hot, it's not like living a naturalistic caveman lifestyle makes you impervious to hot weather.

Around 23c in the summer, 28c in the winter.

don't have one. Keep AC unit set at 70 when in use (also use a fan). In winter, I keep heat at low to medium setting most of the time and turn off before bed unless it's super cold (like 10F or lower outside)

in the summer i shoot for 78 and if i'm still hot, i'll use a fan.

in the winter i set it at 68

78-80

Anything below 75 reminds me of being in some tense office building.

I'm honestly more concerned about keeping humidity under 60% so that can result in a range between 72-80 degrees depending on the weather that day.

When humidity isn't an issue and I'm using heat I try to keep it in the high 60s during the day, and low 60s when I'm asleep or out.

18 C during winter
Off during summer

78 when its the AC
70 when its the heater

It wont make a difference but the government has no place telling us what to do if theyre gonna leave us to foot the bill. People would be more willing to listen if they didnt have that bill every month. Theres a tendency to think I paid for it Ill have it have it how I want.

Its like how theyre pushing people to EVs through tax incentives.

Besides that I just feel theyd do a better job managing it eventually. People are already seeing blackouts as is.

76

70 all the time.

I love how there is no one pretending that California is NOT fucking with people.

My house is kept at 73 degrees F.

Cool to 23.5 in the summer, heat to 22 in the winter.

70 in summer. like 66 in winter.

this summer when i leave for work in the morning i'll set the AC to like 78. then when i get home i turn it down to 70 and it'll take a few hours to cool down. like it's been running about 2.5 hours and it was 77 when i got home and it's still going but it's 70/71 now and should kick off soon. then i'll turn it off for a few hours till i go to bed and then turn it back on so it's cold while i sleep.

80 and I have a small fan on me all the time.

70-72 just like you tc.

73. It's a great balance between staying cool, saving money, and staying acclimated enough to not die when I step outside.

I think I went with 68 during the winter? I can't remember.

18-20 in summer. 19-21 in winter

69

AC at 78. I feel cold when it gets set lower.
