    I keep turning it up to 67 durning the day when I'm not working. I'm still freezing!

    We usually have ours set to 62 during the day hours and 65 during nighttime. But here lately we haven't been taking it off of 62. It is chilly in the house but nothing compared to going outside. We always wear layers of clothes and keep a blanket nearby. I say turn the heat up a little if you are freezing, you shouldn't suffer like that .......LOL!!!

    Ours it at 60 all day while the kids and Bruce are gone - I walk around like a bag lady with sweats and a blanket tied around my shoulders. When bruce comes home he kicks it up to 70. He says he too old to be that cold - he's 43!! I think hes just a wimp!!

    We don't have to use heat much here, but at our old house I set it at 68*. We are in a new (new to us) home for this winter though so it will be interesting to see what we can get away with here. We no longer have vaulted ceilings so that should be a huge help, but we still do have all tile floors except the bedrooms. I'm really hoping when it does come time to use it that we can get by with setting it even lower now, especially at night.

    We do have 14 ft ceilings. Maybe that matters?

    We turn it on late at night prior to going to bed and put it on about 67/68 then depending on how cold its suppose to get we leave it on all night and then turn it off in the morning.
