Maybe. I like it cold and she gets dry nose/sinus issues if we keep it too warm in the winter.

At night it’s 68 upstairs where my kids sleep and 64 downstairs. During the day my wife has it just short of raging inferno while I’m at work.

So that thermostat is going to be set to 60.
I set mine to 60 for overnight. I got home and someone had the thing set to a terrarium level of 74. I nearly lost it, This is the equivalent of me running total electric at 74 in cold weather:

I’m in south Louisiana and walked outside. It’s 35 degrees and I hear my neighbors a/c running.
Good way to destroy an A/C unit unless it has a cold ambient kit installed and my money says the owner has zero idea what that even is. Without a low ambient kit the compressor is going to see liquid refrigerant, on top of that there could be lubrication issues caused by oil not getting back to the compressor.

Could be a heat pump. It functions the same as an air conditioner but in reverse. It uses the compressor to capture heat outside instead of moving heat out of the house using your AC coil. It uses less electricity than the heater coils in most air handlers. So instead of running something like 22 kWH of electricity in the heat coils, it uses about half or a third of that using the compressor and a reversing valve to run the coolant in reverse. That is why it is always more expensive to heat a home than cool it.
I wish I had that type of system. You do pay for it up front with the extra tech that goes into it, and possible future issues if the reversing valve gets stuck and a coil that is designed to cool, is now warming up to produce heat leading to possible early failure of the coil because of the cycling of cooling and warming of the metal coil.
Now if it does get cold enough, the heat pump will not produce enough heat and the heat coils have to kick in to warm your house, but it has to be really cold for that to happen. There is a sensor that lets the unit know to switch to auxiliary heat and turn the heater coils on.

I hate fricking cold weather. I'm not going to freeze in my house, nor am I wearing sweatshirts and sweatpants in my house at night, so it's usually 73-74 in the winter.
Folks be downvoting but I agree with you. Heat literally doesn’t bother me. I’d rather sweat than freeze any day of the week.
If I wanted to wear a sweater in my house, I’d dig up Jimmy Carter (too soon?) and we’d sit there in our freezing cold houses with fricking sweaters on looking like dumbasses.

If you have gas lines in your hood get a gas furnace, it is almost always the cheapest solution and supports your local O&G baws, truck nuts don't grow on trees you know.
BTW thanks for explaining to me how a heat pump works, next you can explain how a watch escapement functions, I don't know much about those either.

69 typically.....especially now bc it's 29 degrees here right now.
This. Mine was on 68 when I woke up and I was a bit chilly. Bumped it up to 69, noticed it was 67 in the house and having trouble keeping it warmer than that.

66 at night. 67 when I get up to help the “house” get out of bed. 62 when we all leave the house.
Humidifiers running trying get get to 50% humidity so my sinuses don’t explode…..

AC on 62. My wife is going through the beginning stages of menopause. I have to sleep in another room, fully clothed with a space heater going.

I’m trying to remember when we switched to digital thermostats. But it’s been so long the best I can do is say maybe around 8-10 years. Either way, when we had them installed, I put both on 70 and neither has been changed since.
