25°C at winter and 24°C at summer. It's a small house that's not too expensive to heat so I prefer slightly warmer than normal room temperature
My landleach pays for energy, so, 72F at all times and a small data center running in the corner
In the winter, 68, 69 if I'm particularly cold, In the summer I don't turn on the AC unless I'm absolutely dying, and then it only goes to 77. I'm a lizard, I love the heat, but I also hate paying high gas bills.
I do 76F in the summer for AC and 68F in the winter for heating. Try to use minimal heating and air and still maintain a comfortable range. Can get expensive if working the system too hard. If it wasn't a matter of cost I'd leave it on 72F all the time.
Evaporative coolers are great if you live where you can use one, much cheaper to run and they can work pretty good as long as humidity isn't too high. I had one in a house I lived in before along with a regular AC system. It was a good to have and saved a lot on the electric bill. If it was dry enough out the AC unit was not needed.
Haven't used a heat pump before and don't know much about them. If they work as well and cost less to operate that would be a good option, but I wouldn't use one if it's a downgrade in performance. Rather pay for the comfort.
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.
65F/19C. Fans in summer, sweaters in winter.
18° in winter. 24° in summer.
However I would only put the heater or aircon on somewhere between 40-60 days a year and only for a couple hours. And often it's just to take the chill out of the house or cool the bedroom before bed. I have a modern well insulated house which is a rarity in Melbourne or Australia in general, houses/apartments are built like shit here.
21 in summer, though it hardly ever kicks in with the awesome isolation we have.
23 in winter, cause I like it toasty.
During AC season, 71 during the day, 68 at night. Geothermal FTW.
70F (21C) during the summer time, and usually its off during the winter (we just have the windows open, and might briefly use a space heater if its really really cold).
In fall and spring it just heavily depends on the day and how it feels.
23.5 in day and 22.5 at night. For summer, at least. I realized too much AC really affects my joints. Too little is unbearable. Humans are a fickle bunch...
Might for 22.5 day 21.5 night for winter.
We live in Seattle. There is no thermostat.
Only have heating, no AC. So 19C over the day and 16 at night for the winter
70-74F during summer, 65-68F during winter.
24.5°C
73 day, 70 night.
I prefer it a little cooler, but my apartment isn't insulated for shit so anything less and the ac basically never turns off.
Hasn't turned off a whole lot with heat waves lately.
74F during the day, 72F at bed time.
77F normally
Our heater is set to 60F in the winter.
If i want it warmer than that (usually) it's up to me to keep the wood stove fired and fed!
My folks keep it at 79°F during the day and 72°F at night.
The simplified version
Summer: Day: 76°F (24°C), Night: 73°F (22°C)
Winter: Day: 78°F (25°C), Night: 73°F (22°C)
76 in the summer and 68 in the winter
19C in the winter, around 28C in the summer. It helps that in the winter I just keep a space heater near me (I get cold and turn it on at what a thermometer in my room calls 19C).
72 during the day and 68 at night.
Summer time - 75F during the day, 72F at night. Winter time - 68F during the day, 62F at night.
I live in the Midwest US
I have an evaporative cooler it really doesn't have temperature control. It is kind of whatever the outside temperature is -20f degrees with 75% humidity.
I live in a campervan and so have no temperature control in the traditional sense. Closest thing would be the Maxxfan with thermostatic fan control and it's set to 68F. As long as external temps are lower than internal temps it does a reasonable job.
Currently set to 67F (19.4C) for heating, and I don't have air conditioning but would probably keep it around 76F (24C).The weather here is mild enough that we usually don't need AC in summer.
We're starting to have more and more hot days during summer though, so I'm getting the gas furnace replaced with a heat pump HVAC (which is the term Americans use for a reverse cycle air conditioner) this week. The furnace is 22 years old so it was due for a replacement anyways. I had an 11.2kW solar system installed earlier this year, so I'm trying to move away from gas appliances.
