Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

          Or you can learn both and just be better educated…you could try that.

            It’s not about learning or not. It’s about 1 system being fundamentally less suited for the task. You wouldn’t argue that we should all be using kelvin. I mean, you could argue that, but you wouldn’t be right.

                Not for human centered climate, where 0-100F is a very convenient set of human centric temperatures. 0 is really cold, 100 is really hot

                  You are talking purely out of ignorance. The majority of the population on Earth are getting on just fine using celsius with none of the problems you claim to exist.

                  Also “really cold” and “really hot” are purely subjective terms which varies a lot from person to person and from location to location.

                  Where is freezing? That is a pretty important one particularly for driving or freezing pipes? So 40 is really hot, 20 is decent, 0 is freezing and -20 is cold and -40 is really cold. And water boils typically around 100.

                  I mean, ignoring zero in Calvin, it is all arbitrary when it comes to temperature. Just celsius likes to land some key numbers on human centric values.

          I mean I don’t really care what temperature is based on but exactly what does 77 degrees exactly refer to in that it is better or worse than any other number?

    I’d like to have it at 71f, but it’s not going to happen. After a $$$ AC repair i can now get down to 74 instead of 78. Usually around 68-70 in the winter. How come it’s always so hot indoors when i go to places with a cold climate?

    24°C / 75°F during summer, 20°C / 68°F during winter.

    We typically keep our house at 68F in the summer, and in the winter it’s 63F during the day, 55F at night. We like it on the chilly side.

      To help those unfamiliar with Fahrenheit (like I am)

      68°F = 20°C
      63°F = 16.6°C
      55°F = 12.8°C

    We don’t have a thermostat. We have storage heaters and criminally insufficient insulation. I’d like to keep the flat about 21C (69F), a little lower at night. I can only afford to keep the flat above 17C (62F). Cost of living crisis sucks.

    Summer for ac it is about 76f

    75f if it gets extra humid for some reason then we’ll push it down by one degree

    But at night 78f for the ac.

    Although if it’s nice outside we’ll turn it off and open windows.

    Winter it’s 69 or 72 for during the day depending on a few factors. If I’m just sitting working in the computer it’s closer to 72 but up and moving around maybe 69.

    66 f at night

    Btw I’m in Minnesota US.

    76F to 78F in the summer.

    68F in the winter.


    My Dad does 85F summer and 65F winter though. I though I was being luxurious with my settings lol.

    I do run a dehumidifier in the summer and a humidifier in the winter though. Humidity control is almost more important IMO for comfort.

    There is no one right temperature — it depends on the humidity. In the winter I often have heat at 71. In the summer 68.

    We do somewhere between 72 and 76. But at night in the peak of summer we’ll bump it down to 70. Our bedroom is on the top floor and can often be several degrees hotter than the lower floor where the thermostat is, so for a few weeks in the summer we have to really crank it.

    I’m told we should look into a vent fan to help distribute the air better but I haven’t taken the time to put in the effort yet, I’m sad to say

    Usually around 74F in the summer but I’ll bump it if the temps outside hit the mid 90s. 64 in the winter, I like it cold. I run a portable AC in the master bedroom during the summer while we sleep. Bit of a story there.
