Mine is set at 80 degrees during the summer. During the winter it is at 60 or maybe 65. I live in an over 100 year old dog trot style house in Alabama with only attic insulation and the original single pane double hung windows.
65° while I sleep, 68°-70° while I'm home, off while I'm not
75 in the summer and 68 in the winter
Summer time 20C (68F)
Jesus that's a freezer. I'm 24.5
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.
Usually 72° F / 22.22°C. But my wife likes to turn it down on the really hot days were the AC doesn’t quite keep up. I try to explain the AC is running all out, turning it down does not help. And we certainly do not have one of the high end units that can throttle, it is either on or off.
Cincinnati. 66 at night 70 during the day during the summer, sometimes 72.
Winter 70-72 all the time.
76F in the summer, 72F during the day in the winter, 68F at night in the winter.
Chiming in to say comparing thermostat settings between houses is comparing apples to oranges. Your AC is only "on" or "off," changing the thermostat setting only changes how much time it's on vs how much time it's off.
On a 100° day, the HVAC in a well-insulated house with double paned windows and solid weatherization is going to be able to maintain 77° with little effort, where a poorly insulated, leaky house may struggle to even reach 77° with the HVAC running continuously. These two houses may have their thermostats set the same but their internal temperatures and energy usage will be different, maybe even radically different
74 in the summer and 68 in the winter. Before I met my wife I would keep it at 60 in the winter but she wasn't having it lol (heating oil is expensive). I didn't have central air so my bedroom (window unit) I'd keep at 68-70.
In the summer? I have no AC at my house but it doesn't usually go above 77 - 80 on it's own. It's in a unique part of the city where we're surrounded by the woods and trees which provide a lot of shade and cool the air. Also the house is built into the side of a mountain and surrounded by massive retaining walls, so the first floor is basically a story underground. Our bedroom is also on the first floor, so I don't really go upstairs except to do laundry.
In the winter, usually about 64 - 67. It goes down to 60 during the day on a schedule or whatever.
68-75. This means if it's between those numbers, the HVAC doesn't turn on.
76 in the summer and 68 in the winter
There is no one right temperature — it depends on the humidity. In the winter I often have heat at 71. In the summer 68.
For A/C I like it warmer than most office buildings, around 27°C/81°F, which means it's usually off outside of summer heat waves. My current place in Vancouver has no A/C.
Winter the heater's usually at 21°C/70°F.
I'm in Denver Summer: 80° in the day, 70° at night Winter: 73° in the day, 63° at night
In winter I light the fire, in summer I open the windows, the temperature range goes from chilly to toasty. I don't have exact numbers on that.
72 during the day and 68 at night.
Minimum, but it still doesn't get below 23C in the winter
We don't have a set temperature for all year, that seems silly to me. The outside temperature, the price of electricity/gas, the energy efficient of your house, so many variables...
Apologies for not converting, but in the winter we stick to the mid to high 60s when it's in the 40s or below outside. For the summer if it's getting into the high 90s or low 100s we have to go up to the high 70s to avoid going broke on electricity.
PS go clean out the heat exchange fins on your compressor outside, sometimes animals or weather will clog them up with debris which kills the efficiency of the compressor.
Just moved into a house with ac for the first time and it is well insulated and lots of shade from trees. At night before bed I set it to 68, and in the morning I set it to 74. Even when we had 100 degree days it never got above 73 inside, so basically I only run the AC at night.
