Household Temperatures - What's Yours Set To?

Coffeekup

My thermostat/boiler on/off control is set to 20C all the time.
I no longer use the auto like I did the first year it was installed, and I manually turn it on when the house is cold, which has been 5 x 20 minute bursts in the last week or so. 

I could have it set to 25C and it only ever reaches 19C according to the display switch. But my old terraced house has high ceilings, drafty kitchen and a chill coming from under floor boards in the living room/diner. 

If anything I/we acclimatize and don't feel the cold as much time the real cold kicks in. Only issue is going round other people's houses with heating on full blast, I end up a sleeping dribbling mess within an hour.

The Nest sorts it all out for me, but if I ever see the temperature on there above 20 I knock it back down.

Set at 15. If it's 15 in the north facing cold hallway where the thermostat is, it's 18-20 in the rest of the house

18.5C except overnight when it's 15C

17 degrees when I'm up. Boiler switched off when I'm in bed.

I generally turn the heating on manually rather than relying solely on a thermostat, because the temperature I'll be comfortable at varies, mostly with activity levels. When I do turn the heating on I have the thermostat in my lounge set to 18°C which means it switches off at 18.5 °C.

When I got home from work today my lounge was at 14°C but a combination of me being warm from cycling home and the room heating up pretty quickly once the heating is on means I wasn't in any way uncomfortable as a result.

15C from 10pm to 6.30am

18.5C from 6.30 to 8am (always kicks in from Autumn onward and beats having a cold bathroom when having a morning shower)

16.5C from 8am to 6pm

17.5C from 6 to 10pm

I've also invested in an under desk infra red heater this year as the computer room is a poorly insulated loft conversion and I struggled with it last winter.

Used to be 19c when at home. But trying 18c this winter. Switch off heating at about 10pm. And switch it on once I get up.

What do you set your thermostat to?

When all the results are in can you give us a summary of your findings?

2 OAPs in their mid 70's in all day mostly.

Thermostat set at 21 deg C from 07:45 until 23:30 and 16 deg C from then just because it has to be set at something during the night.

Temperature hardly drops below 18 deg C during the night so the heating stays off until 07:45
