Heat settings

[asterroc]

Whee! I figured out how to set the heat so it'll turn up to 62ºF when we're awake and home, and back down to 60ºF when we're out or asleep. 62ºF has been tolerable while I'm awake and home. Should I turn it colder while we're out, or while we're asleep? I'm also checking on bird lists how cold they think I can turn it down to and have Gabe ok, I'm just looking for what people think is ok for humans.

Aw man, it looks like everyone here thinks I'm being insane. T$ has absolutely no problem with it being that cold in the house, and while I really don't like it, I really don't like heat bills of over a grand a month, which is what the last tenants had. I'm trying desperately hard to avoid that, and will up the temperature once I'm convinced I'm not draining the oil tank continually.

No no, I don't think you're being insane. I wish I could tolerate that level of cold, since of course I have to go outside when it's way colder than that. If you can tolerate it, go for the savings!

I bet if I had to pay for my heat, I would be bundled up like the michelin man.

Heh, my boyfriend makes fun of me b/c wearing socks in bed does NOT keep my feet any warmer. Seriously, that only helps if your feet are generating any heat, which I swear mine are not!
