Is 69 degrees too cold?
I have a question since me and my husband fight over the thermostat here lately. Is 69° too cold for the house when it's 34° outside? I say I want it 70 or 71. He says I'm nuts, 69 is fine. Also we live in a condo that's well over 20 years old and with the same windows and they're not sealed properly anymore and they let moisture in and cold air in so put that into factor. He says putting it up a degree or two won't make a difference but I've noticed it does make a difference especially when I get out of the shower in the morning I'm freezing or going to bed at night

69 is too cold, I would have sinus issues. The difference in the bill isn't enough to freeze all winter. Ours is on 73.

I keep ours set to 68 😬 and my room is over the garage so it really feels like 62-64 … and I love it

We keep it at 72-74, but that’s mainly because we have birds.

Ok so I'm not crazy. Lol. Look Id rather be cold then hot, but like I said our windows suck. Rather sleep cold too. I don't like it above 70 or 71. But you can literally feel the cold air near the windows. The point is most of the heat is getting sucked out those windows.

You should get those plastic window sealers. They are super cheap and super effective for keeping drafts out. You can even get pads for under doors. If you have drafts, the furnace will just work harder and def doesn’t make a difference between 69-71 degrees.

We usually keep the heat set on 67° here lately, but we’ve been sweating at night so we’ve started bumping it down to 65°.
Get yourself an outside thermometer to hang in your condo so you know the true temperature with the drafts & adjust accordingly.

I think 69 is chilly. Ours is at 72.
Would it help/be possible to do the plastic over the windows (comes in a kit, you know what I’m talking about?)? We did that at a rental and I think it helped stop the draft.

Yeah I know what you're talking about. I just like to have my windows open and be able to look out my windows and my kids would probably pull it off anyway. I feel too trapped in this tiny condo if I can't look out the windows in the daytime

I don’t blame you. 🌁 We did it in the bedrooms. Come to think of it, I should do it in our bedrooms this year. 🤔 Our windows aren’t great.

We keep it at 64-68. Mostly 66 during the day. Some days I cave and turn it to 70 but it has to be super windy out. Otherwise 66

Ours is set at 68° even when it’s below zero outside.

I live in an old home it's 73 during the day and 70 at night

I think that's why we do 73. Our house is 112 years old and if you factor in our drafts it's probably in the high 60s in here if the heat is on 73.

Ours is set to 75°.

Oh man that's just too hot. But in this old condo you'd probably barely feel it at 75 lol

During the day we keep ours at 68 degrees. The kids aren’t home and we just put on a sweater. At night we have it at 69-70. We live in Idaho so it’s definitely cold outside. I feel like anything above 70 is a little too much.
