Hey, that amateur hour. You want real efficiency? Just turn it off and open the windows. Super efficient? Sell the house and live in a tent.

Wrong. 66/66/66.

Look. I have it at 55 overnight all winter. I fucking earned my AC.

Too cold. I am happiest at 73. Otherwise sweater at lower temperatures, too hot at higher. Guess I am somewhat close to "efficient" levels.

I mean, if this bitch wants to pay my medical bills for heat stroke, then fine. Also, vet bills for my cats' heat strokes. 1/2
magicrhombus
None of those temps can cause heat stroke unless you're sitting in direct sunlight.
SerenePrincess013
Unless you have trouble thermoregulating, bc of autoimmune disorders, & being in heat of 30C+ is borderline lethal.
TheNewGray
Cats love it warm. But they also have fur so they can deal with my fridge of house and sleep on the blanket.
SerenePrincess013
Until then, she can fuck off, & I'll keep it set at 73, LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!
pocketcthulhu
That sounds awfully warm for a "normal person"
SerenePrincess013
That's the warmest I can stomach. It usually sits at 71, bc the roommate is a pussy who can't handle it in any lower.

68 here. No negotiations allowed. (Florida)

63 degrees in my apt...
SerenePrincess013
In the winter, that's not bad, bc wool socks. In the summer, I can't handle that kind of temp extreme. It'll give me a headache.

I get headaches if it's *not* cold in my apartment. It's so uncomfortable and it feels disgusting inside unless I have it below 68

The biggest heat gain/heat loss of a house is the windows. Spend some money on good ones and they pay for themselves
OrionRed
We moved into a 20 year old house in 1998. Spent around 10 grand on new windows all over. HUGE savings and HUGE difference.

Tracked this down, because it seems insane. It's from consumer reports (link too long to post here).

65 too cold. I heat to 68, and air condition back down to 75. But then I'm used to working on a factory floor with no AC.

As someone who chronically soaks the sheets from night sweats every night, it makes for shitty night's sleep.
HoneyBunchesOfStoats
just FYI, if that's not from the heat you should speak to your doctor about it. It's probably nothing, but drenching night sweats are a

classic lymphoma symptom and if this is something new and unexplained it might be worth asking about.

There's a term called "Room Temperature" which ranges from 70 to 72. BECAUSE IT'S THE TEMPERATURE A ROOM IS SUPPOSED TO BE AT.

Isnt room temperature supose to be....the temperature of the room?
abbiapocalypse
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
jursamaj
No such thing as "supposed to be". Also, "room temperature" tends to mean cooler than that in Europe, it's more about climate.
jursamaj
Indeed, WHO defines "room temperature" as 15-25°C = 59-77°F.

Ok, but none of that is 82f!
VodkaReindeer
room temp is 15-25 for drugs

Except for the hottest days/nights of summer, I could probably keep the house cooler than that just with shades and managing when to open

78 = 25 deg C, 85 = 29 C, 82 = 27 C. Whoever came up with those temps is crazy.

My thoughts! I don’t understand at all why these temperatures would save energy... especially when you’re away, why would you make it hot?

If i leave the house, i turn of the thermostat. There’s no need to heat a room when nobody’s home.
