re: At what temperature is your heater kicking on during winter?

Two winters ago, my answer would have been in the 60s.
However, this is our 2nd winter in a drafty pier and beam house, and you just can't go that low without being freezing. Especially down in the kitchen on the bottom floor. Can't even stand on the floor without socks and slippers layered on.
And I hate being hot. I'm a 68 A/C in the summer type.

In the summer, she sets it at 68 or 69. Geesh!
If you’re in Louisiana, I’d hate to see that light bill.

68-70 is optimal

72. Just pushed it up to 74 in an attempt to protect my pipes. 18° in Houston right now.

For heat?! I just set the thermostat for 68 and I already feel like I'm suffocating. About to lower it to 65 or something near.

At night or if we’re away I put at 64, daytime/morning I’ll bump it up to 68

70

67 ... just enough for the heater to run about 15 minutes every hour.

about to light the fire place, 59 degrees and not the heater is not on

I’d go down to 65 or so to save money. I’m also pretty comfortable wearing extra clothes or using a blanket.
The wife likes it warm, so we set it to 70 and spend $300/month heating the house.

about 63 on the master side of the house. 65 on the kids' side of the house. But we normally start a fire anytime it's under 50 outside b/c fires are fricking awesome

When I got to my farm house the other day it was 49° inside. Turned the heater to 58 to break chill. Keep a fire going and never turn heater above 60 as it makes it feel stuffy to me.

Depends on if I’m drinking or not. The thermostats drop down to 65 at night while we’re sleeping and comes back up an hour or so before we wake up. It hovers around 68-70. Nest is always changing it.

67-68 sometimes 65 depending on if I have company over or not.
Downstairs is cool but up stairs I run a fan, ceiling fan, and still sleep on top of covers
