70 during the day, low 60s at night, and it better be cold at bedtime but she better be warm before bedtime!
Then at the end of the month: "Why is our heating bill so high?"Quote:

This. Menopause not all bad at our house. I finally got to stop sweating year around.Quote:

56F at night.
What’s the consensus on these big temp swings on people’s settings?
70 in the day and 56 at night is huge.
That can’t be efficient can it?
Bringing the house from 56 to 70 in the morning that furnace must be chugging for at least an hour or more.
I keep mine at 66 at night and to get up to 70 in the morning takes 20-30 min.

My wife has trained our daughters to follow her lead when it comes to the temperature in the house.
Hot outside = house is so cold that people wear hoodies and sweatpants.
Cold outside = house is so hot that people wear tee shirts and shorts.
Drives me fucking bananas, but I am out numbered and don’t want all 3 of them ganging up on me making my life a living hell.

Following this logic, shouldn't you just leave it at 70F?Quote:

Relevant bit: "Leave it up. Another common refrain is that it's cheaper to keep your home at a constant temperature, even when you're not home. "Almost never true," Sherman said, noting again that homes with heat pumps can be an exception. "If the system is running less, it means it's using less energy," he said. Says the U.S. Department of Energy on energy.gov, "You can easily save energy in the winter by setting the thermostat to 68 degrees while you're awake and setting it lower while you're asleep or away from home." Figure you save up to 1 percent per year on your heating bill for each degree you set back the thermostat for eight hours, such as when you're sleeping or at work. A 10-degree drop could be 10 percent savings."
Fuck you and your elitist coastal horseshit!Quote:

You need to take control of your household, man!Quote:

15° (59f) at night and 18° (65f) during the day. Perfect shelf temp for red wine and whiskey. Wife's scottish ancestry makes for no argument for keeping the heating bill low. And when the 8yr old princess complains, we toss her a sweater and reminder Elsa prefers the cold. So far so good.
