Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

Europe.

Winter 20C/70F, but we only heat the bedrooms or rooms we mostly stay in. Kitchen, etc. can go as low as 10C/50F

Summer: no heating/AC at all. Open a window when cold air is coming inside. Close the windows when hot air is coming in. It’s never gone above 35C/95F, and that’s during a heat wave. Usually it’s 25C/80F max.

Sometimes when it’s too cold. You wear a sweater and thick socks. Sometimes it’s hot. Fan or live with it. Adapt our schedules accordingly, perhaps do groceries when it’s super hot or go on an errand that requires the car a drive so we can cool down in the supermarket/AC.

I think I speak for 99% of the people here when I say “FUCK THAT”

That happens quite often for me inside, it really sucks. Not much I can do about it though.

I think I misunderstood him. I assumed he meant that the inside of his house was 95, but I think he meant that the outside was 95. Still anything over 80 indoors I can’t handle.

Edit: nope just read his other reply and it was 95 inside. Again, fuck that.

The climate’s fucked and inflation is rampant.

You’re frankly better off getting used to the occasional hot day.

It’s hot, but you get used to it.

I’m not sure it will stay true in Europe. I think we might start to see more and more deadly heatwave, with temperatures to high to get used to it.

My view change on AC because of that, I used to think it was a luxury but it might become a necessity.

On the other hand fans can greatly improve the “efficiency” of AC, I’m comfortably sleeping with a fan and the AC thermostat setup at 28°C.

Some of us do enjoy hot weather. I hardly ever use my air conditioner.
