We keep it at 68 during the day and 66 at night. We have a gas fireplace that we use when we're home during the day to heat our main living area. Our LO's room gets warmer than ours so that's why we keep it colder upstairs at night - he runs warm, we have a space heater in our room, and our dog sleeps in our bed to keep us warm!

@regberadaisy: one benefit of apartment living at our last place we only paid about $50-$60 on the coldest months. In our new apartment, heat is an included utility!
We keep ours around 70! We'd keep it cooler if we had a larger house to heat!

78-80.
This thread has me shock faced! I could never! We live in a very cold climate and like it warm indoors. I will say we are fortunate to have solar heating, so the cost is very low. Also, it is in-floor heating.

70 when we're home and just sitting around. I try to turn it down or off when we're actively cleaning or something. We always switch it off when we leave and when we sleep, unless the outside temps are below zero, in which case sometimes I set it to maybe 60 at night.
That said, I'd have it way higher if we didn't have to pay for kerosene! If/when we get a wood stove, our house will definitely be warmer than 70. We are both cold all the time in the winter, even with slippers, sweaters and often blankets over us.
We are lucky, though, that we have a very small, well insulated house. We have a monitor heater and the coldest I've ever seen the house, even after a full day or night with the heat completely off, was 58.

71 in the living room and boys room, off everywhere else (our room, 3rd bedroom, dining room and bathroom).
Right now in our bedroom we have the fan going, window open & heat off. I could probably turn the heat off in the entire apartment actually....

There's a range of 67-71 depending on if we're using the rooms or not.

67 - I hate feeling warm, and would rather bundle up a bit if I get chilly.

We don't have a thermostat but I am very comfortable at around 18 c which I think is about 64f. Over 70f I would be far too hot!

@Greentea: wow at 80f I would be literally sweating. I must be a hot person!
