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?

    My house is set to 22 in the morning and switches off at about 11am otherwise the house is too warm at bed time. I have ‘cold’ friends who keep their house much colder so there seems to be a range of preferences.
