Average temp you keep your house.
« on: February 17, 2018, 02:54:44 PM »

I was reading in a Minnesota heat cost forum . People burning LP and natural gas. Keep there house 62f and 67f when there home .
Lot said 68f and 72f if they have company .I'm starting to think
Woodboiler guys just like a warm house. I Target 72-74F myself
. That's why you hear these natural gas guy says only cost $150 month. It's because they have super insulated house and keep it 62f lol. What temp do you keep your house when your home ?

 Set on 78, but I don't know if it's reading right, but feels like summer in here.

80-82 for us, 75 at night. But then every room is a different temp with plenty of fresh leaking air coming in.

Fairly tight and well insulated house.  72 daytime, 69 at night and we sleep with the master bath window open so it's even cooler in our bedroom.  Once in a while, I'll bump it up to 74 or periodically turn on the pellet stove in the basement for the atmosphere and little heat boost it provides.

In MN, it sits at 70 all winter. Maybe 72 if I'm feeling festive or wish to lounge on the couch all day. Would prefer about 55 in the bedroom but the lady already has 4 blankets at 70 so we've come to a compromise. Back in my propane/bachelor day was 65 all the time. Summer time I sweat my nugs off all day so it stays 66-67 in the house all day so I can be comfy when I get there. Maybe someday a programmable stat is in order.

My parents keep it 78-80 all winter and I have all but stopped going there for fear of melting. Holidays and such I sit right in front of the patio door and keep it open about 6" lol

Usually 70 during the day and 67-68 at night here. Garage/shop is kept at 50 unless I'm working out there.

When I burning oil I kept it at 66 at night or at work and 68 when I was home.  With the OWB I set it at 70, 24/7 with exception of my bedroom, it's kept at 65 24/7.  Roger

68 daytime, 65 nights.  Don't like saunas, either. Have been known to bask in the sun like a lizard, though.  Guess that explains the layout of the new house - lots of glass to the south.
