I don't turn it on unless it gets below 60 at my place, otherwise I am bundled up with my comforter, and coffee. $31 power last month FTW!

11/25/2008 5:52:08 PM

60-65

11/25/2008 5:53:10 PM

Never !

Not cuz I'm cheap

but I like my shit freezing

If my nipples aren't hard, its too hot

11/25/2008 5:53:17 PM

it is set at 65 °F

11/25/2008 5:54:21 PM

About 57 or so for me. I never have in on overnight.

11/25/2008 5:54:32 PM

i try to keep it around 60/65

11/25/2008 5:55:43 PM

I just start fires. Thats what hardwood floor is for right?

Hey guys I just moved into this house and i've always had carpet. what do you do when you run out of floor to burn. Isn't this shit expensive? Where can I get cheap wood to replace it?

11/25/2008 5:56:30 PM

my heat is set to 68°F

i'd have it on 65&def;F if i had an apartment, but with the house, even with the vents closed in the rooms i don't use, 68°F is pretty mandatory to keep it 65°F everywhere

last month's power bill was $70, the month before was $50

but i also have a plasma tv, an HTPC that's on all the time, a server that's on all the time, and washer/dryer, and i cook a lot using my stove/oven

11/25/2008 5:57:07 PM

69

i like to pay money for things

11/25/2008 5:57:10 PM

any warehouse discarding pallets... it's a little less fancy, but it'll work

11/25/2008 5:57:22 PM

Good idea! I'll just wear boots all the time to avoid splinters.

11/25/2008 5:58:23 PM

My power bill have probably averaged about 40 bucks a month this year. I am so proud of my miserly self!

11/25/2008 5:58:39 PM

I got dat gas heat
and dryer
and stove

11/25/2008 6:00:27 PM

i have it at about 71

in the summer i have the AC cranking to about 68

11/25/2008 6:01:35 PM

^^That shit is expensive. Like 500-600 a winter right?

id be comfortable being TreeTwista's roommate

my current roommate sucks however

11/25/2008 6:02:18 PM

My roommate likes to set it at 90 and then bitch at me when we go over on the power bill...

11/25/2008 6:02:23 PM

sometimes i'll turn it up to like 75 right before i get in the shower in the morning and then turn it back down to 71 before i leave for work

11/25/2008 6:04:13 PM

suprisingly not, at least not for me.

11/25/2008 6:05:02 PM

my power bill is $30 even when it is on 65- 70

11/25/2008 6:05:56 PM

Chinchiness FTW!

11/25/2008 6:06:32 PM

i have one of those programmable thermostats...but i've never bothered to actually set it up

anyone know, or have an idea, of whether or not they're actually efficient? in that, if i set the thermostat for 63°F for 9 hours a day, and then have it set for 68°F for the other 15 hours...will i save money or will the cost of warming it up by 5°F every day cost more?

11/25/2008 6:07:08 PM

programmable thermostat
bumps to 67 @4am
drops to 63 at 9? am
up to 67 somewhere between 4 and 7 - I forget when
and drops to 62 at 11pm

I don't mess with it.

11/25/2008 6:07:48 PM

Yall are high maintenance by my standards.

11/25/2008 6:08:30 PM

id have sex with a programmable thermostat

11/25/2008 6:08:33 PM

when i lived in my apartment i rarely had to even turn on the heat. i was on a middle floor so it was always warm in my apartment...half the time i had the windows open, too. my room here is freezing for some reason, though...the thermostat stays around 68/69

11/25/2008 6:09:45 PM

generally i leave mine at an indicated 70, but its an old thermostat, so the actual temperature in my place is closer to 65.

11/25/2008 6:10:20 PM

^ that is how minE is

11/25/2008 6:16:44 PM

I prefer my place to be freezing cold. That's what fireplaces and blankets are for. When I lived by myself I think I only turned the heat on when my girlfriend bitched enough...

When I had a place at The Links with a couple people we hardly ever used it. In fact, I seriously don't know if we did ever...

I used the AC like it was going out of style in the summer though... much to the chagrin of someone on here.

11/25/2008 6:18:51 PM

mine's set on 64

it's a little chilly when you get out of the shower, but otherwise it's fine

11/25/2008 6:20:56 PM

it'd be colder, except the animals seem to like it not cold

11/25/2008 6:21:45 PM

Animals.... Are you kidding? Shit if I can be cold their asses will too.

11/25/2008 6:22:36 PM

have it set to come on when it drops to 60...usually only on for a couple hours in the evenings

never on at night

11/25/2008 6:22:39 PM

Thats what I a talking about. What I am elected POUS I will appoint you as budget director of my cabinet.

11/25/2008 6:24:01 PM

Anybody got some spare wood sitting around?

11/25/2008 6:40:24 PM

I got plenty of it if you a girl.

11/25/2008 6:41:21 PM

ISWYDT

11/25/2008 6:41:42 PM

Do you prefer morning or evening wood?

11/25/2008 6:42:12 PM

morning, pleasant surprise.

11/25/2008 6:42:45 PM

I got you then dawg.

11/25/2008 6:43:09 PM

72

11/25/2008 6:43:52 PM

i'll find a girl for the transaction

11/25/2008 6:43:53 PM

House heat is set at 55 or so. I often let the electric heater bring my room up to 65, sometimes 70. It's right around 60 currently. I never leave the heater on while sleeping, so it's usually in the 50s when I wake.

I hate the winter. I can do energy conservation in the summer just fine. 77 degrees? Great. But the cold kills me.

Get an electric heater. When I wake up in the morning I'll turn mine on full blast and close the door and grab some breakfast, come back and the bathroom is nice and toasty for my shit, shower, and shave.

Back when I was stingy as hell and had the temp set on 61 in my house, I'd turn the electric heater on in my bedroom and shut the door. I'd lounge around the house in warm clothes and such, then my bedroom would be super comfy for going to bed. It's gotta be cheaper than running the heat for the whole place...if this is a concern.

11/25/2008 6:51:49 PM

I live in a campus dorm. The vents are always blowing moderate-temperature air on Low.

11/25/2008 6:54:01 PM

My bf and I are both cold all the time, so we set it to 75 when we get up in the morning, then down to about 70 at night while we huddle under the comforter.

11/25/2008 6:55:45 PM

set on 70.

11/25/2008 6:58:11 PM

heat set to 72 in the winter....A/C set to 68 in the summer.

11/25/2008 7:21:40 PM

60-65 typically, keep it 68-70 ideally, maybe a little cooler... (ideal, but right now the thermo is downstairs so the upstairs gets really really warm 76+)

summer - 74-76 at night, day 78 or so... keep it below 80 inside.
