Re: settle our feud ... heat related

Ours is set to 65 when we're not home. I turn it up to 70 when we get home from work.

we have our heat set at 62 which means its about 64 in the house....but we agree to wear sweatshirts n heavy clothes to save money, and we have an electric heater in the bedroom so we can get busy without our teeth chattering

---

we have one of these for the bathroom so it's toasty while we are showering, and sometimes in winter i move it into the bedroom for the same reason as you!!!!

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

We have the same disagreement..

He likes it at like 65 while he's on his asss under a toasty blanket on the couch watching tv...

... while I am sitting at the kitchen table FREEZING while writing out wedding thanks yous every night. No fair! My own fault b/c I don't like his handwriting.

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

My landlord tells me she has the heat on 72. but i barely get heat. last night i was freezing its comes on for a couple of hours then goes off so everyother day i have to call her its not fair i pay 1200 for rent n get no heat. i dont get why they cant call someone to see if thier is a problem!.

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

we have it at 68 and i was still freezing my as$ up until a couple weeks ago, went to home depot, got a space heater and now my bedroom is about 78-80 when i go to bed

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

We are still figuring out what is best in our apartment. During the day it is turned down and DH wears a sweatshirt (he works from home). When I come home it is anywhere from 65-70 -- but we are on the second floor so it gets really warm fast. We turn it down to 62 or 60 before bed and sleep with the window cracked. We really need to get one with a timer.

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

we have a programmable thermostat. 66 when we are home and 62 at night.

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

we live in a building with old people. Our apartment feels like it is set at 85, 90. Myparents kept their house at 66, 67 and I used to freeze!

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

I leave mine on like 70-72. I wouldnt dare ever leave in the 60's lol. Id freeze my buns off

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

I think ours stays at 65 (if we're lucky. lol) I've become VERY used to freezing to death every winter. But that's just my family. I won't be living with FH until after the wedding - not sure what he keeps it at, but I do recall being nice and cozy over there

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

DH gets home from work and puts the heat on to 70, before we go to bed we lower it to 65 or so, I can't sleep in a room when it feels stuffy I would rather be a little cold and bury myself under the covers!

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

im like an old man.. it has to be at least 80.. 84 and im cozy.. but being in a co-op we cant control temps.. so its alwaysss way to hot. we sleep with the windows open.

i wish they would lower the temps to like..75. maybe then our maint. fee wouldnt be so freakin high

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

during the day when we arent home, we set it at about 62... as soon as i get home tho i turn it up to about 68

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

68 is way too cold for me, ours is set at the minimum 72.

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

We are living with the in laws right now, but they keep it at 70 and both FH and I put the fan on in the room. I don't like being too hot when I am sleeping, at least if I get cold at night, I can get warmer by cuddling with FH or something. But I hate being hot.

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

I have it at 75! bc my tenants complained it was too cold.

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

I say turn if up to 68 when you get home from work and turn it back to 66 when you leave in the morning. Also you could try getting a space heater-that might make it better. I wear my ugg boots around because I'm a little chilly and we don't like to turn the heat up so much.

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

MIne is on 60!! no joke! its freezing in here..but whatever we need to do to save some money is fine by me..blankets and heavy sweaters seem to be working fine

This is what we do, 70 when we're home, and 65ish when we're sleeping

Re: settle our feud ... heat related

dh is the same way, so when I get home at 2:00 I crank the heat, then when he calls and sez he is on his way I turn it down and get out my blanky.
