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.
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).
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.
72-74F (~22-23C)
My house is very drafty so it gets cold in it.
69F
This isn’t asl…
Same. Mostly because I’m a child.
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.
73° F
The same here but my heat pump sucks all of the moisture out of the air, so the number on the dial does not equal the comfort of the house.
I bought a humidification system and will install it soon and hopefully I’ll be able to drop the number once there’s a little bit more moisture to convey the heat to my body in the air.
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.
69
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.
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.
18°, I sometimes push it to 19 if I’m feeling flush.
My parents are in their 80s and rarely go over 15° on their thermostat (unless I’m there complaining!)
My dad’s parents only had one heated room in the house, but that one room was heated like an oven to a really uncomfortable temperature 😆
Exact opposite from my grandparents. They keep it at least 27 in the winter. It makes it very unappealing to visit, and I have to take frequent breaks outside in the snow.
I assumed that was all old people, since my spouse’s grandparents are the same. Now I’m hoping they’re the exception and most older people aren’t living like lizards in terrariums.
I’m like your grandparents today. Grew up in DDR, had one heated room: the kitchen. It was also our living room, and on the coldest nights our bedroom. Not heated like an oven though.
It makes me physically uncomfortable to be in a >18C room in the winter, even today. I know it’s just a psychological thing, probably.
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.
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.
A brisk 18 kelvin.
Gotta keep those superconductors running.
I like, let’s do it in K all the time, just to annoy those folks who insist on C or F.
294K
I‘m more of a 525°R kind of guy
16°C during the day, ~20ish in the evenings. Still running an oldfashioned boiler setup. Would love to eventually move to a heatpump. Diesel ain’t cheap.
