    We don't usually turn the heater on in the winter but if it gets really cold, it is set for about 60 degrees. Right now, we have the air conditioner set to 82 and keep the ceiling fan in the living room and the bedroom on at night. It's not too hot and keeps the kitties comfortable.

    In the winter we are set at 62, I love it cold. My poor neighbor, when she comes over she does not take her coat off.

    Since building the new house we now have central air and right now at night I put the 2nd floor to 67 and then turn it up to 70 when getting up in the morning. The first floor right now stays off and we open the windows, we get a really good cross wind at the house. Next week it is supposed to be in the high 90's so I figure we will keep the A/C set at 70 downstairs.

    In the winter I have the heat at 68 (70 when it is a really cold spell) and in the summer I keep the air at 78 most of the time (when there is a particularly hot spell I turn it down to 76 for a short period of time).

    As several of my forced air heating units have died over the past few years, I haven't been able to afford to replace them, so two of the bedrooms are the only rooms that have heat. Fortunately our winters in the PNW don't have many nights below 20F. Of course, the cats crowd into the bedrooms and become lumps under the covers. I grew up in a home without central heating and well remember ice on the inside of my bedroom window and getting dressed under the bed covers, so I can cope. I don't have A/C, although plenty of new homes in the Seattle area are being built to include that feature now. I'll just move down to the cooler daylight basement when it gets unbearable upstairs in August.

    I don't like the a/c, I find it really annoying not to be able to go outside because it feels too hot! I love warm weather, so I don't mind to much although if it were up to Eric we would have it on all summer. Luckily, it costs money so it stays off unless it gets above 90 for a few days in which case I turn it on for the pets.

    This past winter our heating bill was atrocious so we had the heat on at 61-64 degrees which is waaaaayyyy to cold. (I piled on sweaters and my big fuzzy robe, plus warm slippers). I would like it around 70-72, but it's too expensive!

    We keep the A/C at 74 all the time. Anything less I get too cold, anything more I get too hot. I think we keep the heat at about 68-70.
