So at work today, the discussion of household heating and gas/electricity bills came up (entering winter Down Under), and I commented that we have our central heating set to 14 Celsius (approx 57 Freedoms) overnight, and off during the day/evening. We find that 14 is quite comfortable under a fluffy doona/duvet. I was warmly mocked (well natured), and informed that something closer to 24C (75F) is appropriate, day and night.
Surely not… right?
If I set my winter evening thermostat to 14C my wife would have my head on a spike in the front lawn. Police be damned.
We keep it at 22C as a compromise during the day and 19 at night (since we sleep better in the cold).
Hahaha twenty-two?! I fear I may not know that feeling again until October!
