nboucher Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 62 at night; 66 during the day. Theoretically. I say theoretically, because sometimes when I get home from work the thermostat is at 66 but actual temperature is 70 or 71. I suspect when they hear the car pull up, someone races to the thermostat to turn it down before I open the door. . . Quote
Super User grimlin Posted February 28, 2008 Super User Posted February 28, 2008 60 when nobody's home 68-72 when we are at home at night.Last time i forgot to turn it up my kid got sick and it was COLD! Summer time my girl turns on the air...but i open all the window and turn on fans...we sometimes argue over the air.I simply like it hot and she doesn't....haha Quote
jrhennecke Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Don't use the heater. 65 in the summer. Quote
michbass Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 normally 65 or so at night and during the day and 68 the rest of the time. Like it cooler to sleep though. With the ac 68-70 in the summer. I would welcome some hot day right about now though. Quote
Big T Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Well, ours has been set at 69 for the past couple of weeks. I got cold a few hours ago and turned it up to 72, but I tehn got hot a turned it back down. In the summer it is usually set at the lowest temp it will go for the air. Both my wife and I are usually hot natured. Like I said, I did get cold today. I think this medication that I am on from my spinal cord surgery last Tuesday is messing with my hot/cold feelings.

Super User Redlinerobert Posted February 29, 2008 Super User Posted February 29, 2008 I have two systems plus my fireplace. One for the bedrooms and the other for the living rooms/kitchen/gameroom. I don't mind the cold, but Gidge sure does. During the winter the bedroom system is usually always on. My PG&E bill averages $800 a month in the winter..... Summer is a different story, it can get HOT here in Gilroy so the two AC systems are usually on during the day and at night as well - Quote
Madhouse27 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 We have radiant heat so I don't really swing the thermostat too far either way. I pretty much leave it at 68. Might go down to 62 if we are taking off for a day or two. I can't wait til spring, it's been kind of an expensive winter with oil prices well over three bucks a gallon. Putting in a pellet stove this summer when the money gets rolling in again to help keep the oil man away as much as possible next winter. Quote
bassin_man Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Its right around 60 24/7 during the winter. Sometimes it can get to 55 also. Quote

For heat in California?? :-? That fireplace kicks out enough to warm everything but the far bedrooms, I had no idea it would cost that much. Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted March 8, 2008 Author Posted March 8, 2008 Ya know, back when I started this site, never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine this question would be asked.... let alone the responses go on and on for several pages.....and I READ ALL OF THEM!! ;D I'm not sure whether to take this as a compliment or a slam! :-? It was a funny read anyway! You gotta admit it was atleast an original question! it just goes to show you Glen that the site has grown from just fishing to an all around sharing of ideas. That combined with the fact that it is pretty boring in Illinois in the winter. I have no shame I willtake it as a compliment! Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted March 8, 2008 BassResource.com Administrator Posted March 8, 2008 It's more a compliment and a statement of disbelief (in a funny way). Certainly not a slam. Quote
John J. Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 We keep ours on 70 all year long. On really cold nights or days or when I feel like it I light a fire in the woodburning stove and the basement gets up to like 76 degrees which is toasty to me. I am naturally cold blooded too I guess because I like the warmth, 60 is freezing to me in the winter, but it's not bad during the summer. Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted March 8, 2008 Author Posted March 8, 2008 It's more a compliment and a statement of disbelief (in a funny way). Certainly not a slam. I knew it wasn't a slam Glenn, my comment was made "tounge - in - cheeck" I thought your orig post was funny! Quote
