We have our thermostat set to 17C (62.5F for all the Americans). We have a wood stove that we run most of the time and keep the house between 18-19C (64-66). DS has a space heater in his room set at 21C (70F). My work is always 72 or higher and I feel like I'm going to pass out from the heat.

Oh god, I would freeze to death, wineandcake! I have our thermostat set to 22. That being said, our house is 100 years old and unevenly heated by an oil furnace, so 22 probably means 20.

We have our thermostat at home set to 70F, but I swear it doesn't ever feel that warm and my hands and feet are always cold. I have an individual heating unit in my office and normally crank it up when I get to work until I feel sufficiently thawed. I don't think I've been in a room yet this whole winter where I've felt too warm.
65 is our normal temp during winter, and we drop it down to I think 63 at night. We keep a space heater in DS' room set that keeps it between 64-68 degrees.
Ours is typically set between 68-70F. In the summer, we try not to use the air much, so it's usually set no lower than 78F. That may not work for next summer when I'm huge

It makes me happy to know I'm not the only one 'freezing' my family. 17 is so cold, but 18-19 is the perfect temperature to wear a sweater and cuddle up with a blanket. DS and DH are always hot, I wish I was more like them, they're true northerners.... I'm just a southerner pretending I can handle the northern winter
We keep it at 20C. But it never feels like that. Our house is super drafty and I'm always freezing. We also have no duct work upstairs where our bedroom is so its usually quite cool up there, but I am comfortable sleeping like that, we just use extra blankets and cuddle on the cold nights!

Wow. I think it's because we're from Florida, but we totally keep our heat up at 76F. Lately, I've been getting hot and turning it down and opening a window. Jeez. We also don't pay for our heat. It's included in the rental agreement, so I'm sure that makes a difference.

This! I am s FL girl & also heat up to 76. I keep it at that temp for a few hours and then turn it off.

We have ours set at 18.5 (65 F) during the day when we're not at home, but when I get home from work I fire up the propane fireplace until the main level reaches 22 or so (71-72 F). The heat from the fireplace is so much cozier than the electric baseboard heaters. I had hot water radiators in my last house, which I absolutely loved, but when I rebuilt the installation costs made electric heat the preferable option.

We don't control our heat at all. Our landlords crank it way up during the day, and turn it off completely at night. I'm fine with that, but we had to buy a mini plug in radiator for the baby's room.

57F. We bundle up, put extra blankets on the bed, and keep DD warm with sweaters and double sets of socks. It just gets too cold around here to have it any higher in this old drafty house.

We keep the thermostat at 68 all the time. DD's room is the coldest in the house so we also run a small heater in there at night for her. We keep a small ceramic heater in the basement family room for when we are down there too. It's a 1929 house.. so insulation sucks.
about 23c during the day and 21 at night. and then I have a plug in heater for the basement which is always cooler and where we hang out in the evenings.

62F at night and while we are at work during the day, set the thermostat to warm up to 68 when we wake up and when we get home. We occasionally supplement with the wood-burning fireplace in our living room. It can put off a lot of heat! I am also more sensitive to cold now that I'm pregnant.

DH sets ours at 66-68 and complains how cold it is all the time. I usually set it at 70-72. We have an old drafty house and radiator heat so it's DEFINITELY not actually 72 when the thermostat says it is. But anything lower and the radiators upstairs don't even come on. I also have a space heater in my office (upstairs) so I crank that thing up when I'm working. I hate being cold.
