Do you agree on a temp or is it an ongoing battle?
-
Well, we've been together 16 years so we've settled on a comfortable temperature for us both. But with kids there are still days where he's too warm even though we keep the house at 64/65 in the winter!
-
Agree
-
We agree. At least 75! (It's supplemented by solar power.)
-
Mostly agree. I do get hotter than him in the summer though (but I've been pregnant too...) generally we are happy with the same temp.
-
Pretty much a constant battle. Having DD has forced us to compromise a bit though.
-
I like it cooler, I get hot easily. But we generally keep it at 65/66
-
I'm surprised by all the agrees! I prefer 68-70 in the winter, DH likes it 74-76. I joke that it feels like hell in here!
-
In general we try to use the heat and air as little as possible but I always open our patio door and windows and then DH will close them as he is unaware that I just opened them. It's kind of a battle that he hasn't noticed yet and I laughed when he did it tonight because I thought of this thread!
-
We agree mostly. It's usually not as cool in here during summer as either of us would like so we suffer together lol otherwise we would have a $400 electric bill and just....no thanks.
-
We sort of agree. DH likes it cooler and I can't stand how much it costs to heat our house, so I just pile on layers. In the summer, the reverse happens (where DH will want to save by not using the A/C all day), so that works out too.
-
We have it at a set temperature and don't change it. If someone is uncomfortable they need to put on or remove clothes.
-
Battle! I like it warmer.
-
It is a battle! I am always cold and DH would be perfectly content to not even run the heat!
-
@Applesandbananas: oh my! my ILs keep their heat at 75 in the winter and i felt like i was going to pass out at Christmas! we keep ours at 68 in winter and bump it up to 70 if we get cold. what's crazy is they will have the heat on at 75 in the winter but if the house was 75 in summer they'd be sweating and complaining about the heat!
-
I wouldn't say its a battle because we have found a compromise temp, but I'm usually moaning about it being cold and he's always too hot!
-
We agree. Even though it's still cold here (but above freezing), we've had the heater off for weeks. Our apartment stays really warm, somehow.
-
We agree, but it's more a compromise. I'd love it to be warmer and he'd like it to be cooler, so we've settled on a temperature that we're both mostly comfortable with!
-
I wouldn't say we agree because DH is easy going and even if he wanted it different he doesn't care what its at.
I leave it at 68 in the winter - if you're cold put on a jacket! -
When we first moved in, I think we had a few disagreements about it but that doesn't happen anymore. I think DH has become less strict about it and we've figured out the temperature we're most comfortable at.
Now, when I lived at home with my parents, it was ALWAYS on ongoing issue so I'm really glad DH and I are on the same page!
-
In general we agree (we both like it cold). I will adjust it some if someone is sick and he is fine with that (I don't think he ever touches it).
-
We agree. 68 in the winter to heat. 72ish for AC in the summer.
-
We leave it at 70 year-round. It's chilly in the winter, but I just cover up with a blanket. In the summer, it's still chilly, so when he's gone I bump it up to 72 and turn on the fans.
-
DH sets it and I have no issues.
