koolrayz Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Thermostat is set at 64 when we are home. 55 when we go to work. Truth is it hardly ever runs Actual temp is 68 to 70 in the living room and 60 to 63 in the bedroom, the rest of the house is somewhere in between. I have a wood stove in the living room that burns non stop. The radiant heat projected off of the stove gives a much warmer feel by heating the objects in the room more than the air.

Sam1647545489 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 When I lived alone it was in the low 60's. Now I have a girl living with me its always at 68-70. Any hotter then that and I cant sleep. I like it alittle bit colder then normal people. In the summer, the house temp is usually whatever it is outside since I dont believe in A/C. I got it out there but dont like using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 79 68-71 for us. Just depends on how we're feeling, but always stays in the range for the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that seem odd? I looked at it and it reads 79 and theres a smaller number which says 80. I assume its 79 in here right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I don't know about you but at 80° I'm sweating, and I definitely can't sleep when I'm sweating. And I would think your gas/electric bills would be considerably higher than mine when I average 70°, but I dunno. I guess if its what you like what does it matter, right?

wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 We have all electric and I dont pay the bills, the wife does so I couldnt tell you what our bill even is. I do know in our last house we averaged $400 a month in gas during the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Holy shit! $400/month?!!?!??! The MOST my gas bill has ever been was $225/last Feb or March when we got that cold stretch. It usually hits $175ish/month for 2-3 months during winter (Jan/Feb/Sometimes March) but otherwise is less than $100 during other winter months and like $50 the rest of the year.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 It was an old house with single pain windows. It had a poor heating system. You would literally have ice formed on the inside of the windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 LOL, ok, because I was going to say, screw $400/month, that's nearly half my mortgage, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I have almost no insulation and my windows are paper thick so the actual temp is minus 5-10F depending on the wind. But I set my temp to 69F M-F during the hours I am at home. 62F while I am at work or sleeping. Sa-Sun it is 75F. My gas bill is super high and my electric is ironically higher with the electrical heating units during the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Bittle Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 never moves from 60* Bought a Lasko space heater, just move it back and forth from living room to bedroom. Have propane for heat and the stove, don't like paying for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 68-69 during the day, though, occasionally, my gf will raise it up a bit. At night, I lower it to around 64-65. If it wasn't for others living here, including pets, I would lower it to around 60 at night. I'm also very selective as to which vents remain open or close. It seems I've lived in very few places where vent placement promotes proper and even temps throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 70 when we are awake We have a split level and the thermostat is on the middle floor.. so in the lowerlevel its actually around 66, while the middle level is 70 and upstairs will be almost 72 66 at night.. Lower level will be 62-64, while middle is 66 and upstair is 68 We are possibly going to talk about doing a zoned heating setup next year to help with the electric bill..

HotCarl Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 69 all the time. maybe a bit higher in the summer but I've yet to be in this apartment during the summer so we'll see. Ive noticed when i have a fire going the furnace almost never kicks on, it does pretty good at heating the main living area but my bedroom can get pretty cold so thats the downside. I usually have a fire going 2-3 times a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
