I live in Va, in the Shenandoah Valley. My dh is quite cold natured, but for some reason will walk around announcing that it's freezing in here in a tshirt and sweats. I, on the other hand, have a long johns shirt, sweatshirt, sweatpants and socks on. I keep an electric throw on me while I am in the living room on pc or watching tv. The heat is on 58 or 60. It is 34 out right now.
I encourage him to wear more clothes. He doesn't want to, so he puts on tons of blankets on the couch, which is fine, because he does not turn up the heat from whatever I have put it on. I think I am lucky in that respect.
So, is it less expensive for me to leave the heat at 58 or 60, and wear the elec throw while I am seated, or to turn the heat up to 68 like he thinks it should be?
Btw, when we go to bed, it is set on 58 and we just use many blankets. I guess I'm just wondering if I am shooting myself in the foot by using the throw?
