Just curious - what is your thermostat set at?

We have vents in the ceiling and use propane gas heat. We usually keep the temp around 72-73 at night, and on 74 during the day, but we use a wall propane unit in the living room when we're in there, so the central unit doesn't kick on too often. I think the ceiling vents have a lot to do with how the temp is set, and it sure does keep things dusty!

We keep ours at 68 in the winter. We turn it down to 60 or 62 at night. I turn it up when I get home from work. I find the only time I am cold in the mornings is when I step out of the shower. Pretty much the rest of the morning I am running around the house getting ready for work, It feels cold when I get home. By the time I finish running around making dinner the house is warm. Helps to save a lot on our bill.

We are in SE Kansas. In Winter, I like it at 72. My DH likes it a little cooler, but he is hot all of the time.
When we added more insulation and the Thermal Windows, the house is much more comfortable at the temps of 70 and 72. In the Summer, we are usually set at 76-78.
The added insulation and Thermal Windows we had put in in 1990 has really cut our heating and cooling bills. Those improvements paid for them several times.
Hope everyone is warm today!

I found a great item of clothing in a thrift store, it is a scrub type but long sleeve, cardigan styling. Like a sweater but made of woven cotton. I think it will be perfect for when I need just a little extra.
I always have to wear slippers, the floors here are COLD - kitchen floor is less than a foot from the ground (built on a deck) and the rest of the first floor is over a crawl space, I think, or an unheated cellar. I have a nice pair of suede with felt lining, very warm.
