ckf Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 We pretty much just keep ours at 65° 24/7. We just throw on a sweatshirt or piece of fleece during the day if we are just hanging around not doing anything. Due to the much warmer than normal temps this winter our total heating costs should be just under $1200. Note: we are closing in on sunrise before 7AM and sunset after 5PM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showtime Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Normally 66 but if it gets below 0 we go to 68. Sweatpants and sweatshirt if you're that cold Edited January 30, 2021 by Showtime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 65 at night 70 when were home. I refuse to save money by being uncomfortable in my home. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted January 30, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) I'm 62* at night 66* during the day. But while I'm home and awake I run my propane fire place, the remote has a thermostat and that's at 70*. Keep a couple ceiling fans on to circulate the heat from the fireplace that's in the living room..It's cost me $313 to fill my oil tank that will last the winter and $250 in propane for the winter. So I should be around $563 to heat my house for the entire winter.. I've had the fire place for about 12 years now,.Pre-fire place I was $1100-1200 to heat my house for the winter.

I grew up with wood heat and was always to warm, lol. I guess we are just used to 65° as we don't find it uncomfortable. If we are up doing something we take off our sweatshirts and are comfortable. If we hare just watching TV or hanging out we wear a sweatshirt or a fleece top. 8 minutes ago, Dave said: Use to be 68....not so much this year...I've had the fucker as high as 75....really feeling the cold this year.

Oysoyoos or Vancouver Island is about the warmest....but not warm enough to spend the coin to stay there for the winter....and I don't know if I could just go somewhere to be warm without my sxs.

Matt Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Upstairs (den and bedroom) 71 from 6 pm til 11, then 66 Downstairs 72 from 7 am to 6 pm, 65 overnight Yes we heat our houses here and for them to feel comfortable we need to run higher temps than cold weather homes. Most days the heat only runs a little in the morning. My upstairs rarely kicks on at all. Summer is a different story. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 68 in the winter. Gas/electric bill is $200 a month at its highest, in the winter. House was built in 1964, 1600 sq ft, retro foam in the walls and newer windows but only 6” of batted in the attic. Working on blowing another 8-10” up there this spring. Furnace is newer but still 80% and running on NG. Electric bill in the summer can hit $250 a month if it’s really hot out. A/C is set at 72. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 78 bronco like that, entire floor was thick rubber mat. It was so thick I wasn't even aware when the metal rotted out under it, it was 80% gone before I discovered it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
