thermostat settings for NW area

Lndzy13 · November 2011

Just wondering what an average thermostat setting would be around here. We live in Auburn and have had our 2 story condo for a couple years. We've been trying to play around with the home and away settings for the thermostat so that we're not spending an arm and a leg on electric but so we're also not freezing.

We currently have it set at 65 in the evenings and 60/62 when we're asleep or not home. Too cold or too far apart?

we keep ours at 68 during the day and 60 at night. We have a house, and we also try and turn off the heater if we are gone even for a couple of hours cause any bit helps.

We have a townhouse and leave our heat off. We use our gas fireplace when we are home.

The first year we lived here I tried using the gas fireplace and the next month that gas/electric bill was extremely high. I think it's because we don't have a blower on our fireplace and we have ~ 20ft high vaulted ceilings in our main living space so it was having to work harder to heat the space.

We turn our heat off during the day. We only use the heat when we are at home and awake. I would say it's set at about 68. We sometimes use a space heater in the bedroom to heat up the room before we go to bed . We have oil heating and it's expensive. We try to conserve as much as possible.

We have ours set at 68-70 all the time. This apartment leaks like a sieve and takes forever to heat. We have 2 radiator heaters that shut off when the temperature gets to the set temperature and then turn back on when the temperature gets 5 degrees below the set temperature to conserve a little energy. I work during the day and H works at night so someone is always home.

We keep it at about 67 when we are home, 64-63 when asleep, and down to 58ish when we are gone. We also have a pellet stove that we use a ton in the winter, so the heat doesn't kick on when it's going. With the pellet stove going full blast it gets up to 76ish. Big Smile

We don't have central heat, so it's hard to say exactly, but our heaters in the main spaces we use are set to 67-68 when we are home/awake, and 58-60 when we are asleep or away.
