What do keep your thermostat set on in winter?

[Nancy5]

Usually 70 to 74, really depends on how cold it is outside.

I have tried to turn my back some to save $. I think I am freezing my husband out, but he can add another layer

About 70 during the day so I don't have to bundle up so much while I am up and about. I live in South Central Florida, so nights rarely get that cold. 40ish is about as low as it usually will go, and it is for a few days at a time and then weeks of warmer. This goes on from about January to March. At night I turn off the heat and use a really good Velux blanket for warmth. My two cats help keep me warm, too.In case you wonder why I turn off the heat at night, it is to save money, and also, when the heat is on as I sleep, it causes me to be congested and uncomfortable with my allergies.

Generally speaking, we do not keep our thermostat set at any temperature.  Due to the MS I suffer from, I find I am hotter in winter and cold in summer.  So, we tend to keep the temperature around 60-65. 

This is all very strange to me, as I used to love the heat, but now I can no longer tolerate it.  I used to hate the cold, but I do not *feel* cold anymore.  Most of the time, the colder it is, the hotter I feel.  Yes, it is a concern.

I just keep my thermostat set at one temperature which is 75 degree for the winter.

I keep mine as low as I can tolerate to save energy.  This winter it varied between 65 and 68 most of the time.  We had a pretty mild winter here in NM.  We just got our first/only snow about a week ago, but we've had a few nasty wind storms.

Because i tend to like it cooler, my husband uses a little electric space heater.

I keep our thermostae around 65, Hubby likes it cooler, i add layers. But the fireplace burns a lot. It keeps the living room toasty. But he likes the doors open i want them closed because of having to clean more. I win.

During the day it stays mostly at 65. But at night time when it gets really cold it can go up to 70. But I try to stay warm with just more blankets.

[crazyzoo]

I use my fireplace but if I have to turn the heat on its usually set for 70 I get cold really easy

[jowbow]

Ours is set at 60 year around,  but I have a wood stove to heat the house.

[Skyisbluetoday]

During the winter between 60 & 70! 

[lynnc35]

usually around 72.

[sliebshner]

As long as we have money for propane, I keep the house as warm as possible as I am always cold even though I bundle up!  Usually, I have it set at 74 or so.
