67-69 in winter76-78 in summer

[SD DaycareMOM]

My regs say between 65-75. In the summer sometimes I like to keep it warmer, around 78 so it's not such a shock when we come in from the heat outside. But in the winter I have it programmed to be up around 69 during the busy coming and going times (when the door is open a lot) and then down around 67 during the rest of the day.

Mine is normally at 66 or 67 during the day. 63 at night.

70ish I have adjusted it depending on if we have been overy active or taking an easy day and lounging.

Mine is set around 70. I have an old drafty house so I have the parents bring hoodies or sweatshirts to leave here.

Mine is set at 67 for daytime and 64 at night. My husband hates it...he would love if it was 90 in here. In summer I try to keep the air between 80 and 82 degrees just cuz I don't want to pay a high electric bill. The second I need to move though, I edge it down to 78 or 79. My husband would not even put the air on in the summer...he wants to move somewhere hot, like Arizona. I tell him, "alone???!!!!" ::

68ish in winter and 78ish in summer. I refuse to either broil or freeze in my own home so I keep it comfy.

I am required to keep it at 22 C (71.5 F), but I usually keep it at 21 (71). If it feel nice I will keep it even lower.

I keep my heat at 61. It's cool but any higher and we sweat when we get moving. On a really blustery day, I might bump it a degree or two.

67 degrees and my house is 100 yrs old and i live in cold ontario. If I put it up to 68 degrees I find it too hot, turn it down a notch its too cold.

Wow. I must really get cold too easily! Mine is set for 72 during the winter. We have an old house but had it energy efficiency redone so the bill never goes over $200. I even get cold in the afternoons when it's 72!

In the summer, it's set for 75. Maybe I'd be more conservative with my heat and cooling if it cost me more money, but I'm lucky to have it not affect it that much so I keep it where I like it.

I have my heat at 67 during the day and 63 at night. When I turn the air on in the summer it is set for 78. I usually don't turn it on until it's in the mid 80's or realllly humid.

[Cat Herder]

66-72 depending on whether the attic vent fans are on or not.

Humidity is more of an issue here...

[SunshineMama]

I was keeping it at 72, but then was hit with a gas bill ov $225. I dropped it to 68, and my bill this past month was 200. Totally confused about that... probably a rate increase.

The kids are so active though that 68 seems to be the right temp for my house.

[CheekyChick]

It's normally 68 here.
