What temperature do you keep your thermostat at? (lemmy.zip)

Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

We don't have a set temperature for all year, that seems silly to me. The outside temperature, the price of electricity/gas, the energy efficient of your house, so many variables...

Apologies for not converting, but in the winter we stick to the mid to high 60s when it's in the 40s or below outside. For the summer if it's getting into the high 90s or low 100s we have to go up to the high 70s to avoid going broke on electricity.

PS go clean out the heat exchange fins on your compressor outside, sometimes animals or weather will clog them up with debris which kills the efficiency of the compressor.
