I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while. I saw a comment a month or so ago. Person said they keep their thermostat at like 65 in the winter and 78 in the summer. 78 seems fucking insane to me. That’s too damn hot for inside. How do you sleep at 78 degrees?
Are they a lizard person or am I a baby?
Edit 1: I love all the comments on this! Never thought this post would create such discussion. Looking at the comments vs upvotes it honestly seems 50/50ish that 78 is hot for the indoors. Can lemmy do polls?
23-25 in the winter (depends on humidity), switched off in the summer.
By thermostat are we talking about heating? I’m cold-tolerant so I typically set mine to 15.5 C. If it gets any colder than that indoors it comes on
I try to keep between 68 F and 72 F, but uh, the thermostat’s method of measuring the actual temperature in the apartment is completely, laughably busted, so… hot days it goes on 62, cold days it goes on 84.
During the cold season
20°C, 18°C at night and when awayDuring the warm season
23°C, 25°C when away23 all year round
18 c - 23 c.
Summer: 72-74 in the day, 68 for sleeping Winter: 65 in the day, 62 for sleeping. I love the cold
I keep it 68F(20c) downstairs, but the main house temp is regrettably 73F(22C) and I fight to keep it that low because the rest of the house is cold blooded.
20.5 in winter and 21.5 in the summer.
Usually off, but if on 18°C (291.15K).
Off during the day and between 17 and 20 °C when sleeping depending on the season.
always in the 20-24.
Not American so we turn the heat on when it’s cold and off when we’ve warmed up enough to save money.
78 is insane, only a few C off the highest temp ever recorded in my country.
78 during the day is fine depending on the humidity. The real trick of AC is that it brings the humidity down so if it is like 90 out and the AC is running to hit 78 then it is fine. But if it’s like 83 so the AC barely runs then 78 starts to feel sticky and unpleasant.
Multi-stage equipment helps a ton. I hate how people tack mini-splits on their homes like AutoZone hood scoops, but their dehumidifier function is awesome in the shoulder seasons.
I am seriously considering getting rid of central air and doing like a 5 zone mini split system, partially for this flexibility, but also to save space over the centralized air handler, which takes up a bunch of space in the basement of like to reclaim.
Year long lowest possible to keep whatever fluids are in the radiators flowing. Not off but not too on either. And then open windows to regulate temperature.
My building is hot OK…
