Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

      Tried to set ours here to around 20°C (~70°F), but it barely even reaches 23°C (~74°F) even in the middle of the night. I still consider myself lucky being able to run the AC for most of the day though, so I’m not complaining.

          Even more so since my AC’s thermostat is located just inside the air intake. Perhaps it registers a far lower temperature than the rest of the room. It’s easily compensated though by setting the thermostat lower than the target ambient temperature (here, it’s 25°C or 77°F), I guess.

    76F in the summer, 72F during the day in the winter, 68F at night in the winter.

    83F day 78F night. These temps are mainly chosen to not give my AC a heart attack.

    During the winter I’m pretty hands off and will let it get down to 20-30F and just layer up next to a small space heater.

    There is no one right temperature — it depends on the humidity. In the winter I often have heat at 71. In the summer 68.

          Or you can learn both and just be better educated…you could try that.

            It’s not about learning or not. It’s about 1 system being fundamentally less suited for the task. You wouldn’t argue that we should all be using kelvin. I mean, you could argue that, but you wouldn’t be right.

                Not for human centered climate, where 0-100F is a very convenient set of human centric temperatures. 0 is really cold, 100 is really hot

                  Where is freezing? That is a pretty important one particularly for driving or freezing pipes? So 40 is really hot, 20 is decent, 0 is freezing and -20 is cold and -40 is really cold. And water boils typically around 100.

                  I mean, ignoring zero in Calvin, it is all arbitrary when it comes to temperature. Just celsius likes to land some key numbers on human centric values.

                  You are talking purely out of ignorance. The majority of the population on Earth are getting on just fine using celsius with none of the problems you claim to exist.

                  Also “really cold” and “really hot” are purely subjective terms which varies a lot from person to person and from location to location.

          I mean I don’t really care what temperature is based on but exactly what does 77 degrees exactly refer to in that it is better or worse than any other number?

    Summer for ac it is about 76f

    75f if it gets extra humid for some reason then we’ll push it down by one degree

    But at night 78f for the ac.

    Although if it’s nice outside we’ll turn it off and open windows.

    Winter it’s 69 or 72 for during the day depending on a few factors. If I’m just sitting working in the computer it’s closer to 72 but up and moving around maybe 69.

    66 f at night

    Btw I’m in Minnesota US.

    We typically keep our house at 68F in the summer, and in the winter it’s 63F during the day, 55F at night. We like it on the chilly side.

      To help those unfamiliar with Fahrenheit (like I am)

      68°F = 20°C
      63°F = 16.6°C
      55°F = 12.8°C
