60 during the day if nobody's home then up to 65. I'll usually crank it up to 68 before I hop in the shower so the bathroom feels nice and toasty when I get out

I heat with wood in an old Ashley woodburning heater. Most of the time I keep it about 72-76 by opening a window or not.

Mine has not gone above 60 all season, and is on 55 when I leave. Can't afford it.
What school do you go to? |

65 for the gas heat. i use an electric radiator most of the time and it keeps the house about 70 on a cold night. Cheaper than the gas heat.

In the hotel here in NY, I got it set to low fan, mid way through the red part of the heater dealie.
At home in TX, we haven't had the furnace on all year. Not once. Sweaters, electric blankets, and, the fireplace. |

Wish everyone would put their age besides the temp setting. Seems like the older folks like to heat it up too much. I'm 48 & keep the temp. on 60 at night and 63 during the day.

I haven't had to turn on the furnace so far, I'm in So. Calif San Gabriel Valley(10 miles e. of L.A.). We are in a Santa Ana condition right now. It is real warm like low 70s in the afternoons, and windy in some areas. We have a raging brush fire being wiped by high winds in Orange County, about 30 miles SE of Los Angeles. Furnance is off, no need.

I don't see how having your thermostat set lower saves money.
Say you have 2 houses. You set one at 70 and the other at 75 and turn them both on. Obviously from the get-go the furnace in the 75 house will have to run longer. That makes sense. Once they have both reached their top temperature I don't see how it costs more to maintain one over the other. Now after X amount of minutes say the temperature drops one degree in both houses so the furnace kicks on. They both run for X amount of minutes to make up that lost degree. How can that not cost the same? Does a furnace somehow have to run longer to go from 74-75 than 69-70? If so why? Does the one degree between 75 and 74 somehow escape your house faster than the one degree between 70 and 69 causing the furnace to run more often? If so why? |

I live in a dorm so the heating is free but my room mate and I normally just turn it up to about 58. We both get uncomfortably warm anywhere near 70. My first night here I forgot to turn the heater on and it was 45 when I woke up, so I turned it to 55.

Consider the temperature gradient between your house and the outside in the two scenarios and then look at a heat conduction equation. You'll see which of your assumptions isn't quite right. |

If you could basically have a timer in each house. Start timer once ideal temperature is reached. The house with the greater temperature difference from inside to outside will cool down quicker (assuming all other things equal) than the house with the lesser difference. Therefore heater turns on sooner in house with greater differential. Process will repeat all day long, and basically, this house will require the heater to be on more than the house with less differential. Wait a sec, now that I'm thinking about it, I dunno anymore. Oh jeez. Now I feel like an idiot. Can we get an expert opinion here??? |
