I come from northern Minnesota and now live in northern Illinois (which feels like the south, temperature wise!). In both places, I keep the house at 60 F during the night for sleeping and during the day when no one is home. In the evening and on weekends, the thermostat is set to 68. If I feel chilly, I put on a sweater. : )

I was at a friend's house which was set to 54 degrees F (12 C) which is
basically ambient inside temperature for the winter here in California.

He told me that he likes to keep it a bit cool, when I started wondering
what others keep their houses at.

Just by way of a quick survey, what temperature do you normally keep your
living areas at during the active times of the day when people are up and
about?


it's 70 in here most of the time ,
unless i forget to keep the wood stove full
