26°C for me. I live with my son & he enjoys wearing as little as possible at home. Cold also makes him feel depressed. I’m alright with both hot and cold.
Damn 26 is toasty. I get hot if it’s 21 in my home. I warm rooms individually but mostly it’s 19 or 20 degrees. I don’t like to go outside and have too much of a difference.
The heating thermostat is now set at 16°C (~61°F) year round. It doesn’t come on if the ambient temperature is higher. No AC. I would set it lower due to the expense but my feet are like ice most days as it is. For nights it’s set to 14°C (~57°F).
16 is actually the minimum allowed in workplaces here. I’m fairly sure it used to be 17, but I guess financial pressures might have caused employers to demand it be lowered.
As to where I’d prefer it to be, around 19°C (~66°F) would be nice.
I have 19°C for daytime, 17°C at night and I admit it’s quite comfortable overall. But me and my partner’s feet still feel cold though, so it might be partly due to the actual temperature, partly due to a psychological bias that makes them feel really cold since they are way colder than the rest of the body.
The usual temperature around me (center of France), at work and as default on devices, is 20-21. I never thought about what it was in other climates, I guess you are in a colder region than me, or that energy is too expensive. Maybe I’ll lower a bit more my actual temperature target
Combination of factors: The UK, so climate is colder. The UK again, so energy prices are ridiculous even when a homeowner can support themselves. I’m no longer able to support myself and am reliant on government assistance. Result: Cold.
26°C would likely give me a headache.
I try to keep the house at around 20°C, and if I’m chilly put a jumper on.
17.5C typically, but we have blankets to hide under. I lit the fire tonight though so it’s toasty. Drying the air with either the fire or a dehumidifier makes a huge difference.
19.5 on the thermostat, which I’m not sure is accurate. In my opinion comfortable indoor clothes include a sweater or a hoodie, so 26C isn’t just wasteful, it’s very uncomfortable.
Hi there thermostat buddy. 19.5 here too.
60 degrees Fahrenheit. The lowest I can go as part of my lease so the pipes don’t freeze. I supplement with a portable heater and a heated blanket. Trying to keep the bill low. 👍🏾
26C would make me wake up so hot I’d be vomiting I think
We’re usually at 67F at night, 68 to 70F during the day, but I’m baking so the extra 2 degrees from 68 to 70 is usually from the oven.
70°F
i am in a mild climate, so it doesnt have to work too hard.
I’m in the Chicago area and this is what we keep ours at.
26°C people represent!
Might be smart to check your son’s iodine, T4-hormone, and maybe T3 levels, as iodine affects the thyroid (body’s thermostat valve) and T4 is produced by it to be partly converted into T3 elsewhere. T4 and T3 activate heating. If not low, try some tyrosine or iodine anyway.
I have some gut illness with malabsorption, so the above over-the-counter tricks don’t help much. I’m also skinny and can’t gain weight. If suspecting bad gut, test for food intolerances by mediator release test or immunoglobulin G (expect false positives and negatives), or try an elimination diet (like rice and meat only for a month).
14C when away, 18C when home
72-74F (~22-23C)
My house is very drafty so it gets cold in it.
Not sure, but water temps on my PCs loop says 18c
Jesus Christ 26 would be hot even in the summer
Right? That’s what I’d set my AC to. It’s a balmy 18 in my place now and -4 outside. Problem the lack of daylight leasing to the depression. Pop some vitamin d and put a sweater on. Cozy warm clothes are the best clothes.
18c or 64F?
I was thinking the exact same. I feel wasteful in the summer for keeping it at 23 (73 F). I don’t think I could survive 26 in the winter. Maybe if I had never left Florida, but I doubt it.
We leave it off. It’s 61 in here right now and I like to bundle up. I hate any amount of heat. I like to be chilly.
Set your thermostat cooler in winter and warmer in summer, that way you are nicely adapted and outside seems friendly.
