We live in Seattle. There is no thermostat.
Thermostats are bourgeois American imperialist decadence.
77F normally
74F during the day, 72F at bed time.
The simplified version
Summer: Day: 76°F (24°C), Night: 73°F (22°C)
Winter: Day: 78°F (25°C), Night: 73°F (22°C)
Summer - cool to 76 around the house. 68 for sleeping.
Winter - warm to 70 around the house. 65 for sleeping, with a heavier comforter.
Right now in summer: 67 overnight while we sleep (helps that we have tiered power pricing where late night power is almost half the price of it during the day), 72 when we're up, and 80 between 2 and 6pm when we have the most expensive power hours. Luckily we're in an apartment that's like three years old, so it's surprisingly well insulated and hasn't gotten above 73 during those hot hours.
68F-72F in summer 66ish in the winter. In live in the South East United States and humidity is a bitch

I'd like to have it at 71f, but it's not going to happen. After a $$$ AC repair i can now get down to 74 instead of 78. Usually around 68-70 in the winter. How come it's always so hot indoors when i go to places with a cold climate?
65° while I sleep, 68°-70° while I'm home, off while I'm not
I program mine to run less when we're not home. On top of that I set a "super cool" routine on weekends when it's going to be hot outside.
You see, the a/c is most efficient when it's cooler already. So in the last hour of darkness in the summer I set it to run down to 68 or so. Then it doesn't have to run as long to do that. Then it doesn't have to run again for several hours as the temperature is set back to 72.
I also clean the outside coils annually and put up a sun sail so that the outside unit is shaded all day. This has helped save a lot of money along with the thermostat programming.
76 in the summer and 68 in the winter
In the winter, 68, 69 if I'm particularly cold, In the summer I don't turn on the AC unless I'm absolutely dying, and then it only goes to 77. I'm a lizard, I love the heat, but I also hate paying high gas bills.
During AC season, 71 during the day, 68 at night. Geothermal FTW.
75F basically all the time, cooling only no heating. I also always turn it off at night and open all the windows/vice versa in the morning to save energy. I'm not a dad but this is totally a dad thing that I started doing when I turned 30.
This is in the southwestern US.
19C in the winter, around 28C in the summer. It helps that in the winter I just keep a space heater near me (I get cold and turn it on at what a thermometer in my room calls 19C).
70F (21C) during the summer time, and usually its off during the winter (we just have the windows open, and might briefly use a space heater if its really really cold).
In fall and spring it just heavily depends on the day and how it feels.
74 in the summer and 68 in the winter. Before I met my wife I would keep it at 60 in the winter but she wasn't having it lol (heating oil is expensive). I didn't have central air so my bedroom (window unit) I'd keep at 68-70.
18° in winter. 24° in summer.
However I would only put the heater or aircon on somewhere between 40-60 days a year and only for a couple hours. And often it's just to take the chill out of the house or cool the bedroom before bed. I have a modern well insulated house which is a rarity in Melbourne or Australia in general, houses/apartments are built like shit here.
Australia has some of the worst built houses in the western world, especially houses built in the 20th century. I think the average was 0.5 stars out of 10. Thankfully we have the most amount of solar of any country so we are offsetting the crappyness.
72 during the day and 68 at night.
24.5°C
Cincinnati. 66 at night 70 during the day during the summer, sometimes 72.
Winter 70-72 all the time.
76F in the summer, 72F during the day in the winter, 68F at night in the winter.
I have an evaporative cooler it really doesn't have temperature control. It is kind of whatever the outside temperature is -20f degrees with 75% humidity.
In Northern California my AC is off as much as I can help it. When it's on it's set at 82. Energy bill is still at least $250 for my one bedroom apartment...
My folks keep it at 79°F during the day and 72°F at night.
75 summer, 71 winter. Would love to conserve more but my body is a picky jerk.
