What do you heat your house at?

[asp integra]

Curious to see what other beyonders do for heating. I keep my house at a steady 19 Celsius all winter long. Would I save money on heating if I let the temp come down during the day and then heat it back up come 5-6pm?

What do you guys have your thermostats set at?

[ercchry]

two furnaces... so depending on time of day i have the different floors heated more or less... but 19?! yeah i set mine at 19... when im sleeping ...well no... more like 18, but yeah 21 is room temperature, so yeah i like 21

20 degrees in the rooms we are using during the day... we don't really heat the bedrooms unless it's chilly at night.

We also live on the Island and have electric baseboard heat which can be controlled by room... so our set up is a bit different.

We did 18 degrees as the default temp setting in our house in calgary and would bring it up to 20 when we were home and watching TV, etc... let it fall to 18 at bedtime.

My overnight temp is 16.5, but our house cools off so slowly, that it won't hit that unless it's -30 outside.
Daytime temps range from 20.5 to 19.5, we've got more complicated program going.

I think most people turn it down at night, during work hours, or while on Vacation. Assuming you have decent windows/insulation I think that's the way to go, since you house isn't going to cool down that fast anyway, so it's just making sure your furnace is off.

I can't imagine it makes too much of a difference compared to leaving it at 19 C year round though. Everyone I know seems to like it at 21-23C, so turning it down would be to 18-19C or so, but you're already there haha.

17c at night, 22c daytime. I keep the basement 21c, that's where I hang out. Garage at 10c

[88CRX]

17c at night/nobody home
19c when we're home

I don't like it hot at night.... probably could knock it down to 16/16.5 at night easily.

[BigMass]

22 all the time. Me and the wife are skin and bones, we get cold easy :p

[dirtsniffer]

19 all the time. live in a town house so we can count on our neighbours insulating us a bit ha

[pheoxs]

22C all day long. Roommates work random hours and the one that lives in the basement is always super cold.

Don't care too much about the gas bill since its split 3 ways it doesn't hurt all that much. We'll see once it gets really cold.

Edit: Before when it was just me it was ~19 most of the time since it gets really warm upstairs.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...you can't really compare accurately, because depending where your thermostat is located, it might give a false sense of temperature.

e.g. ours is in the middle of the hallway of the bedrooms, which is consistently the warmest spot in the house, so it's set at 23*c, but in reality, the living room (where we spend most of our time) is 21*c

I set my nest to:

weekdays:
17.5C from 11pm - 7am
21.0C from 7 am - 9am
17.0C from 9am til home (away mode).
19.5C from home - 11pm

Weekends:
17.5C from 12am - 9am
19.5C any other time when I'm home. Otherwise set at away (17.0C)

[CapnCrunch]

22-23 when we're home. I think it goes down to 21.5 at night. I hate being cold.

[JfuckinC]

i just got a Nest because i love wasting money, it's at 20* full time right now, but i need to program it to be cooler at night.

2 Furnaces:

Upstairs no heat during day.
Main and basement 20C during day, no heat at night
Upstairs 20C overnight, but we close all vents in the master bedroom and open all the ones in the other 4 b/r. (Have small kids and toddler in the other rooms)
