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

Winter: 20°C when home/awake, 17°C when out or asleep. Before kids we used to drop it to 15°C at night. It was glorious

Summer: 22°C when home awake or asleep, 26°C when away for longer period, 24 for short periods

That's interesting. When away from home I set a minimum temperature to avoid pipes freezing in the winter, but why do you put the AC on a max temperature when away from home?

Yeah that doesn't seem very efficient to make the AC work so much harder when you return home.

It's apparently a good thing to do: https://www.carrier.com/residential/en/us/products/air-conditioners/best-temperature-for-ac/

Maybe because the house is naturally warmer during the day when you're not home, and it will cool down on its own before you come home. But idk, I don't own an AC.
