What is your current theromostat setting? Am taking a poll (to be used in household discussion and, possible, debate). Ours is currently at 70 (boiler, steam heat).

SoCal iand other warm weather inhabitants need not apply.

66 at night (I love sleeping under layers of heavy blankets) and during the day when I'm at work, and 70-72 when I'm home.

I have drawn a line in the sand at 68. I would prefer lower, and often turn the thermostats down to 66. But my "housemates" complain about having to wear their coats inside.

67, unless it's -10 or more, then it's 68-69

On large, old houses (where one often finds steam systems) thermostats don't work very well. I run my steam boiler on a timer and strive for 68-70 degrees but find on really cold days it'll drop to 66 and on sunny ones it will rise to 72. Making sure a steam system is properly maintained and running optimally is more important than the thermostat setting.

70 during the day, 68 at night. Nothing worse than dry, stifling heat in the middle of the night drying out my mucus membranes.

67 for the morning wake up. 60 when I'm home. 55 for the cats when I'm away. 55 at night, too. I layer and don't mind not seeing $300+ utility bills in the winter. However, this month will be different with the week of single digit weather we're supposed to be having.

70 degrees. I had my ventilation unit replaced last year and it's been smooth sailing ever since. My electric bills have gone way down.

I'm with paramour, I like a lot of blankets at night. I even have an electric one I use to pre-warm the bed.

69 degrees at night and when we are not home. Between 72-74 when we're home. Geo/Thermal.

62 during the day, 64 when I sleep and 68 when I'm just hanging around.

100 year old work in progress home....

55 at night, 66 for the morning wake-up, 61 the rest of the day and 64 for the evening meal until bedtime. Cold days like this are for baking and drinking.

72 when home, 62 when gone.

72 when home, 62 when gone.

Same.

66 for sleep. 68 for an hour in the AM during get-ready time. 64 when we're gone.

The evening hours are 68 until we hit the dead of winter when we bump it up to 70.
