What's your "perfect" temperature?

74. Never.

@Darwin “never”...is that with spouse?

Spouse, son, daughter, and cats. The dogs don’t seem to care.

Spouse wants it warmer.
Son wants it colder.
Daughter wants it much warmer.
Cats want us to sit down so they can enjoy our 98.6 degree warmth.

67 – most of the time. During treatments, I want it warmer in the house. I stay so cold.

No one agrees with me, but they tolerate my temperature whims…for now.

@Darwin I completely get the CAT temperature. My eldest cats would like it to be over 100degrees at most times…my youngest, yep…body temperature on our laps.

Not cold at all. Living through Canada’s winters tends to make you enjoy the warmth.

Somewhere around 16–20 degrees Celsius is good for me.

My partner would prefer it being a tad cooler, but he’s flexible.

Everyone that =‘s 61–68 degree Fahrenheit.

@dynamicduo wait til the “freezy cats” see your response. I have family that keep their home 80 degrees all year.

usually around 70 degrees.

I love the shower to be burning hot. And I always ask the roommates if they are comfortable. I can always put more cloths or take them off. But nothing beats 65 degrees on a breezy, sunny day. FRISBEE GOLF!

77. and palm trees!

I keep the thermostat at 65 due to the cost, but when I was working I kept it between 70–75. My son hated it. He goes outside to shovel in shorts.

oops, didnt read the deatils, we keep it at 68.

Usually, we keep it at 80 degrees. (Outside it is much hotter most of the time.) We are thrilled if it goes down to the 70s in the winter. If it goes into the 60s, out come the heavy clothes.

I keep it at 55 during the long Wyoming winters just so if the temperature drops below -10F outside, it will kick on to keep me from seeing my breath. At night, I use a heated mattress pad set at 5 (out of 20) to keep me nice and toasty. Getting out of bed in the morning is a b****, though.

@Marina What region are you in (if you don’t mind saying)? My family live in Naples, FL…and are much the same as you!

@SpatzieLover Orlando.

22 C would be great, with occasional hotter days. I live in Northern England, so I basically always feel cold. :)

22 C = 72 F

Roommate keeps it at 52°F, to save money. I prefer something closer to 65°F. But then, I can always throw a blanket over me.

@Marina How’s it with the Spring break’ers by you?

Indoors: ~70 F during the day. Colder at night.
Outdoors: 55–60 F.

Anything warmer than that, and I start to be utterly miserable.

I live with my parents. Daddy agrees on the indoor temperatures, but likes it warmer outside. My mother would be happy if the temperature never fell below 85 F anywhere.

The temp. in my house is about 68F
But I like it to be about 99F

If I had my choice, I’d keep the house at a constant 70 degrees or close to that as it seems to be the most comfortable for me. Realistically, the house is always warmer than that in the winter, at 80 degrees most of the time, because my wife can never seem to stay warm. At least in the summer, she relents and that is a good thing. It gets very hot here in summer in Phoenix, Arizona and we need AC to survive. Seriously.

69….....................im not trying to be funny

Outside my ideal temp. would be 85°.

Inside, we keep it at 72 in the winter. In the summer, we keep the air at about 80. We keep the ceiling fans going all over the house year round & that helps circulate the air, so our gas & electricity bills are very reasonable. We agree on those temps, so there’s no wrangling about it, thankfully.

If the sun is shining and there’s a light breeze – between 68–70•F;
If there’s no son (or indoors) when I’m awake and fairly inactive (e.g. Fluthering) – between 70–72•F;
When I’m sleeping with a cozy comforter and a warm body (human male or feline) beside me – 65–67•F.

18C (indoors, no draughts). If I’m outside dressed, I prefer it to be closer to 10C, like 12 or something. Especially if I’m walking. And I don’t mind the snow as long as it’s not humid. I loved walking around in Dresden at -12C.

Ok now for the translation:
18C=64F
12C=53F
-12C=pretty damn cold (10F)

Oh and as for the second part: I never had to live with my current gf (due to other reasons). But she obviously likes it much warmer. Her place is reasonable though, perhaps even colder than mine sometimes.
My daughter is worse than me. When we’ve had to spend winter nights together, she complains it’s too hot, if anything. But she’s 4, so I never let it go below 17 at worst. In the summer she doesn’t mind the heat, even if she sweats. I do, and always try to have a max of 23C (often 21). That’s around 70 before the AC kicks off.

K I WAS NOT TRYING 2 BE FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@laxrrockr18 – Good! Because you weren’t particularly so. What is your worry? It’s only lurve.

18C

Actually my ideal temperature is 98.6 F. Any higher and I generally take to my bed. Too much lower and I take to my grave.

I have my heat and AC set to 68 F during the day, and 62 F at night, regardless of the time of year.

^I think I’ve found love ;) j/k @HungryGuy lol.
It was so hot last night I had to take off the blanket….it was 67F.

@SpatzieLover – LoL. I can’t sleep when it’s much over 62. I run my AC when most people have their heat on. And my electric bill in the summer is worse than my gas bill in the winter :-/

Same with mine. I have the air on as soon as the outside temp gets warmer than inside. I really need to look into solar panels. Usually in April or May I’m already turning on the a/c.

Unfortunately, it takes a long time for solar panels to pay back their purchase cost. I saw somewhere on the web where some guy has $500,000 worth of solar panels and is completely off the grid. It’s admirable that he’s being green, but in sheer dollars, is he really ahead in the long run?

Right now, I can’t even afford the upfront costs. We have looked into it. Our house faces SW, so it’d be ideal…if it weren’t so much upfront. There are a few homes that run partially off-grid. That’s my goal for now.

I’m afraid that things like solar cells and windmills are non-starters. I have a hunch that the solution to the energy crisis will come completely out of left field in a decade or two.

You’re probably right. One of the best choices we made to save money was to go with a hybrid car & a hybrid HVAC. Both were virtually the same cost upfront as the non-hybrids. Both actually save us money.

Right. The college I went to had a hybrid A/C system in which the condenser (the outside part) was under water in a nearby lake rather than in the open air. Supposedly, this was much more efficient.
