Since last winter, we have a new boiler, and our thermostat is in a new position. We're currently experimenting with settings for the new setup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-10788049884284329192016-10-23T07:19:15.050-07:002016-10-23T07:19:15.050-07:00We keep our thermostat at a toasty 62 during the d...We keep our thermostat at a toasty 62 during the day except when Dan's skin is burning off (which tends to be daily during the morning) then we crank it up to a balmy 70 and I basically have to be in my underwear. At night, we completely turn it off and bundle up under a mound of blankets on my side and one on Dan's. So that's how we do...

Since his stem cell transplant his body temp has been out of whack and he's *almost* as cold as I am :)Crunchy Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612320939936593420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-33345187789019230302016-10-19T14:13:43.180-07:002016-10-19T14:13:43.180-07:00@Adrienne - I figured that, since our electricity ...@Adrienne - I figured that, since our electricity rates are pretty cheap (thanks to hydroelectric) it wasn't costing us that much. Boy, was that wrong.

This year I've taken it down further - we're set at 62 most of the time, with the exception of 64 from 5 - 7am and 5 - 7 pm. My husband has to be up at 5 and if the bedroom is chilly, he will hit the snooze button a lot instead of getting out of the warm bed.

Still use it if I want a room to heat up fast (as in, people are coming over and I don't want them to freeze) but that's not often. <br /><br />I will probably stick with my usual thermostat settings, 67 during the day and a couple degrees lower at night. Of course the bedroom is the coldest room.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17916355206139673025noreply@blogger.com
