[POLL] What temp is your thermostat at?
When DH finally decided it was cold enough to turn the heat on this year, he dropped our day and night temperatures down quite a bit. Although I am all for saving money and not burning as much oil (and therefore helping out the environment), I've been wearing my fluffy fleece bathrobe from LLBean just about as soon as I walk through the door from work. So, that got me thinking...[Poll]
Re: [POLL] What temp is your thermostat at?
our oil thermostat is on 65, but our pellet stove is on 70 - and we have an electric heater running on "low"
the oil really only comes on in the AM and when the pellet run out.
DH has loosed up a little this year so far with having it not frozen nose cold in here all the time.
65 while we're asleep, 69 awake ( unless it's rainy or snowing or I'm home without DH and then it's 70 )
DD's room was turned down to 67 this year at night. So far she seems to be ok. I like it warm
We have a lot of zoned in our house so rooms we don't use we keep at 60 all day.
upstairs: 56 during the day, and now 65 at night (only because of baby, previously 59 overnight)
downstairs: 60 during the day, about 67/68 when we're home/awake. We also hang sheets/curtains in the hallways to keep the heat in the rooms we use.
My Wedding Bio! Not updated in a LONG time!
Right now it's set at 52. (DH and I both run warm) We've turned the heat on once so far this year for about a half hour. Our house gets a TON of sunlight so once the sun comes up during the day it heats up pretty well in here. Our house is also pretty small, so when we shut the doors for all the spare bedrooms, and get the oven going around dinner time, the heat from that warms up the kitchen, LR & DR pretty nicely. At night we shut our bedroom door and it stays pretty warm in our room with us and the dog all in there.
The only other thing we've been using to get the chill out of the air in the morning or sometimes in the evening is a little electric space heater that heats up whatever room we're in pretty well (since like I said it's a small house). I just turned it on in the bedroom and within 5 minutes I could feel a difference. I figure it's much cheaper than oil heat and since we don't have individual thermostats in each room, I'd rather use this to warm up whatever room we're in, than turn the oil heat up to heat the entire house.
Oh lord, mine too. Well, not husband, but he's skeletor, and is always cold. I keep it around 63.
