I have a friend whose parents put the house at 15 degrees. Last time I'll ever play video games there. I spent more time warming up my toes than playing the game.

How dare those #######s force you to burn calories.

wow now that is very cool - my wife would never go for that - she'd be wearing her coat and a couple of pairs of pants.

I guess I always think the the right temp for when you are home is one where you are comfortable wearing a sweatshirt.

I wear a tshirt and shorts at home - 22-23 is baller.

14 for when we sleep or away and 17 for when we home. But we have a wood stove in the basement that if I have her burning hot will heat the the home closer to 20. Wear sweats and sweater and I'm not overly cold.

I am amazed at how many people think above 20 is needed.

We set ours to 20 and I think it is excessive, but keep it that way for the kids.

No ####. I'm starting to get a complex because my place is a comfortable 23 degrees. Should I be ashamed that I lounge in shorts?

Hey! My great-great-great-grandparents didn't fight the dinosaurs just so I could live in cave-like conditions.

I actually find 21 a little uncomfortable, so we go 20.5, 17 when we are not around or at night.

Wood burning stoves are crazy hot. I was in a cabin in Golden and threw a few pieces of wood on there to ward off the chills. In the middle of the night it was a full-blown sweat lodge.

+1

Why the hell wouldn't you want it comfortable enough to just lounge in shorts, we aren't god damn cavemen.

I set my house at a comfortable 31 degrees; just trying to do my part to get gas prices out of the toilet.

No matter how hot you set it, your hair isn't going to straighten out.

We set ours to average around 21.5 . I have it dropping to 18.5 when we are not home and to start warming up around 4 pm. On the weekends and evenings it stays at a constant 21.5. I personally like it at 20, and my wife likes it at 23. So we compromised. Marriage is awesome.
