This will be our first winter in this apartment, so I don't know how well insulated it is. The weather has been mild the last few weeks, but definitely not cold, and it's supposed to be in the low 70s this week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861963 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 11:09:37 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1861963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its about 45F outside this weekend (7C), and our heat is on. Its about 68F in the house right now, and I can turn the fireplace on to warm it up a bit more.<br /> But...turning the heat on in September isn't really that rare here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861954 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 10:37:33 +0000 Littlebit 1861954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh, these threads always crack me up. We keep the house at 71, no matter the time of year. My husband doesn't do well with it any hotter, and I don't do well with it any cooler. We work too hard to not enjoy ourselves at home by being too hot/chilly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861943 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 10:15:46 +0000 Mae 1861943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I'm uncomfortably chilly in my house with a long sleeve shirt and a blanket, I turn on the heat. I have never really paid attention to when that happens or the exact number. I think in the winter we usually keep the house around 68 once we turn the heat on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861900 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 08:42:20 +0000 JerricaBenton 1861900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Low sixties is pretty chilly inside! I don't like to be too warm in the house but sometimes I'll turn it on just to warm it up a bit, then turn it off/down again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861899 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 08:41:22 +0000 lilyofthewest 1861899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hold off until later on turning the whole house heat by using a heated mattress pad and heated throw blankets. I'll probably turn the heat on when it is staying below 65 inside. We'll probably eke out a few bonus days of no heat by baking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861847 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 04:07:23 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1861847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkb: this :( it doesn't get that cool until about December here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861816 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 23:13:54 +0000 cyndistar3 1861816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Basically below 63 is when I will turn the heat on unless I don't feel super cold, if I'm just chilly at that point I'll just put on more layers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861785 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 22:13:31 +0000 jedeve 1861785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it's below 64 inside. We've had a few nights below freezing so it's been on already this week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861781 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 22:09:29 +0000 skibobrown 1861781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were in the same boat today. It was 62 in our house this morning and only in the 40s outside. Luckily, it never went below 60 today, and the indoor temp finally crept back up to 68. Tomorrow should be warmer. I was so cold, but just can't fathom turning on the heat this early in the fall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861763 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 21:53:16 +0000 ALV91711 1861763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I'm with you, I like to be warm in my house. Especially with LO, I don't want it to be cold in here at night. </p> <p>We keep it about 71-72 inside. I turned the heat on the other day when it got cold, but today it warmed up a bit so I turned the heat down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861728 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 21:11:37 +0000 coopsmama 1861728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I turn it on if I feel uncomfortable in the house. Usually that's around 66-67 inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861725 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 21:08:40 +0000 Adira 1861725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: haha, glad I'm not the only one!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861718 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 21:04:54 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1861718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: seriously lol! I turned it on this morning when it was 71 in the house. I was shivering! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861674 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 20:28:00 +0000 charmed 1861674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I turned it on for a little bit this morning (it was 65 in the house). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861575 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 18:06:22 +0000 ladybee 1861575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just turned it on tonight. It's 68* in here which I don't find horrible but the low is 47* tonight. LO's room gets so cold! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861565 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 17:54:13 +0000 blackbird 1861565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It hit 65 the other day so we turned it on to 70. I keep the house around 69 in the winter and 73 in the summer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861518 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 16:18:11 +0000 Greentea 1861518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: oh how lovely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861517 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 16:17:39 +0000 Greentea 1861517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did last night! It was in the 40s during the day and I'm not sure how cold it got overnight. I turned it to 75 and off this morning. I am lucky I suppose, we have solar that mostly pays for the radiant heat floors. I run at like 96 degrees, I can't sleep if I'm cold! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861509 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 16:07:10 +0000 Cherrybee 1861509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has been a nice day today here in England but I have got the fire going tonight anyway..... Its so cozy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861501 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 15:57:17 +0000 Bao 1861501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I turned it on for about 30 minutes to the chill off! May have to double up on the sleep sacks tonight ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861500 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 15:57:02 +0000 wonderstruck 1861500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mess around with being too cold or too hot! If it drops below 71 degrees the heat kicks on, and if it rises above 73 the A/C kicks on. Worth the money to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861497 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 15:54:38 +0000 Smurfette 1861497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>63 is freezing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861496 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 15:53:46 +0000 pinkb 1861496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just jealous that everyone is cold!

We keep the house in the 68-73 usually, whether that means heat or AC. I don't want to be cold in my house just because it's September. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861424 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 14:04:42 +0000 MrsBrewer 1861424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We turned it on this morning for a bit. It was 61 when we woke up. So we turned it on to get it up to 64 then turned it off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861422 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 14:02:44 +0000 Adira 1861422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha, you guys are all so tough! It's 71 in our house (60s outside) and we're thinking of turning on the heat!! I'm a wuss and hate being cold and I don't want Xander to get cold at night since he doesn't sleep with blankets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-would-you-turn-the-heat-on#post-1861401 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 13:34:38 +0000 matador84 1861401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We turned it on last night...it was in the 40s and I don't want the kids to get cold. </p>
