72 year round

I can just feel the hot air blowing on me.

71 in summer

67 in winter

I am fine at 66, but 67 in winter seems the sweet spot. Heater stays on just long enough for me to feel a little warmth, then turns off and kicks on when the warmth is welcome again.

This is about exactly like me, although sometimes my wife and daughter complain at 67. Having the heat on anything much above that makes the house stuffy as hell.

68 for us. Downstairs stays fairly cool and upstairs is usually a few degrees warmer.

I did break out a small space heater earlier this morning when I was seeing my AM clients. Our windows need to be replaced (next on the "big" house list) so even with preventative measures we still get some draft that leaks through in our living room/dining areas due to the big windows.

63 at night.

My HVAC system typically only runs from about 5am - when I wake up and get the fire going in the woodstove. With various rooms closed off, it's toasty in the primary living areas of the house.

I did spend a fair amount of elbow grease splitting/stacking two cords of wood over the past week. Should be good enough for the remainder of this year.

65. We both like it cold anyway so no worries.

I haven't been home, so I know my Entergy meter would be spinning faster than 78 if we had our old meters still.

I am rocking 12 kWH of usage per hour since this morning.
