Our heater is set to 60F in the winter.

If i want it warmer than that (usually) it's up to me to keep the wood stove fired and fed!

75 summer, 71 winter. Would love to conserve more but my body is a picky jerk.

My folks keep it at 79°F during the day and 72°F at night.

The simplified version

Summer: Day: 76°F (24°C), Night: 73°F (22°C)

Winter: Day: 78°F (25°C), Night: 73°F (22°C)

Currently set to 67F (19.4C) for heating, and I don't have air conditioning but would probably keep it around 76F (24C).The weather here is mild enough that we usually don't need AC in summer.

We're starting to have more and more hot days during summer though, so I'm getting the gas furnace replaced with a heat pump HVAC (which is the term Americans use for a reverse cycle air conditioner) this week. The furnace is 22 years old so it was due for a replacement anyways. I had an 11.2kW solar system installed earlier this year, so I'm trying to move away from gas appliances.

I program mine to run less when we're not home. On top of that I set a "super cool" routine on weekends when it's going to be hot outside.

You see, the a/c is most efficient when it's cooler already. So in the last hour of darkness in the summer I set it to run down to 68 or so. Then it doesn't have to run as long to do that. Then it doesn't have to run again for several hours as the temperature is set back to 72.

I also clean the outside coils annually and put up a sun sail so that the outside unit is shaded all day. This has helped save a lot of money along with the thermostat programming.

21oC in winter, off in summer. I ain't going to waste energy when you can just close the window if you are cold.

I don't have aircon either, not that I would be able to afford it even if I did have it.

Oh and the thermostat lies anyway and is actually just on or off so. 30 minutes in the morning and 1 hour in the evening. Well except last winter where I decided food was more important than warmth and just turned it on when necissary to keep the place habitable.

Summer time - 75F during the day, 72F at night. Winter time - 68F during the day, 62F at night.

I live in the Midwest US

I'd like to have it at 71f, but it's not going to happen. After a $$$ AC repair i can now get down to 74 instead of 78. Usually around 68-70 in the winter. How come it's always so hot indoors when i go to places with a cold climate?

19C in the winter, around 28C in the summer. It helps that in the winter I just keep a space heater near me (I get cold and turn it on at what a thermometer in my room calls 19C).

I have an evaporative cooler it really doesn't have temperature control. It is kind of whatever the outside temperature is -20f degrees with 75% humidity.

I live in a campervan and so have no temperature control in the traditional sense. Closest thing would be the Maxxfan with thermostatic fan control and it's set to 68F. As long as external temps are lower than internal temps it does a reasonable job.

In the summer? I have no AC at my house but it doesn't usually go above 77 - 80 on it's own. It's in a unique part of the city where we're surrounded by the woods and trees which provide a lot of shade and cool the air. Also the house is built into the side of a mountain and surrounded by massive retaining walls, so the first floor is basically a story underground. Our bedroom is also on the first floor, so I don't really go upstairs except to do laundry.

In the winter, usually about 64 - 67. It goes down to 60 during the day on a schedule or whatever.

68F-72F in summer 66ish in the winter. In live in the South East United States and humidity is a bitch

76F in the summer, 72F during the day in the winter, 68F at night in the winter.

I'm in Denver Summer: 80° in the day, 70° at night Winter: 73° in the day, 63° at night

For A/C I like it warmer than most office buildings, around 27°C/81°F, which means it's usually off outside of summer heat waves. My current place in Vancouver has no A/C.

Winter the heater's usually at 21°C/70°F.

There is no one right temperature — it depends on the humidity. In the winter I often have heat at 71. In the summer 68.

I like to keep my home at 16°C (60.8°F) when possible. Summers are hell.

Chiming in to say comparing thermostat settings between houses is comparing apples to oranges. Your AC is only "on" or "off," changing the thermostat setting only changes how much time it's on vs how much time it's off.

On a 100° day, the HVAC in a well-insulated house with double paned windows and solid weatherization is going to be able to maintain 77° with little effort, where a poorly insulated, leaky house may struggle to even reach 77° with the HVAC running continuously. These two houses may have their thermostats set the same but their internal temperatures and energy usage will be different, maybe even radically different

25.5 C (78F) in the summer, 21 C (71F) in the winter

Just moved into a house with ac for the first time and it is well insulated and lots of shade from trees. At night before bed I set it to 68, and in the morning I set it to 74. Even when we had 100 degree days it never got above 73 inside, so basically I only run the AC at night.

In the summer 78F during the day but I spend most of that time in the basement because that's where my office is and 68F at night to sleep.

During the winter 68F all day err' day

Cincinnati. 66 at night 70 during the day during the summer, sometimes 72.

Winter 70-72 all the time.

75 in the summer and 68 in the winter

Minimum, but it still doesn't get below 23C in the winter

In winter I light the fire, in summer I open the windows, the temperature range goes from chilly to toasty. I don't have exact numbers on that.

I don't! My windows are open all year here in Chicago.

I don't have AC and haven't really needed it this year. I'm way north in New Hampshire.

We keep the heat at 63-65f(about 17c) in the winter, but occasionally go up to 67 when it's warmer out and the furnace doesn't have to work as hard to keep it there.
