What’s your thermostat set to?

My DP really feels the cold and has the thermostat set to 21 degrees from 6.30am til 10pm and 15 degrees at night. If I turn it down to 19 degrees he complains so I just wondered how warm you try and keep your house?

18° in the day and none at night. Heating doesn't kick in that much as next door seem to heat their house like a sauna.

20 all the time

21C during the day. It cuts in if the temperature drops below 12C during the night.

21c all of the time.

16.5 all the time . Turn up to 18 if it’s really cold

19 or 20 between 6.30am and 9.30, and 3.30 and 9.30. 17 or 18 during the day, and 8 overnight.

I work from home, so need it on most of the time.

18 degrees, it's our compromise. DH would have it lower and wears shorts and sliders year-round whereas I feel the cold and would be happier if it was on 19. The kids don't seem to notice (ages 5 and 2).
