18° during the day, 16° at night. I remember reading somewhere that getting down to 15° or lower for extended periods of time can cause problems for your house.

Ours is a variable speed compressor so during the summer, it is set to 76 during the day when my wife/kids are there and set to maintain humidity under 50% which allows overcooling by 2 degrees. We run at 70/69 at night because our youngest doesn't sleep well with the fan running in our room so I have it cooler to keep from soaking the bed with sweat.

80 in summer during the day, 75 at night, 78 day and night in winter. We do not have heat, and 78 is required for the air conditioning to run periodically in winter to dehumidify the house.

When I have my AC on (usually on the hottest summer days), I set it to 19°C (66.2°F) so it's not too cold.

Nothing. My place is so well insulated (with triple glazing) that I don't have to heat. Don't have AC, but closing the blinds during the day keeps things cool enough.

I only have heat. So in the winter I usually set it to 65°F, then my wife sets it to 68°F. Then she sets it to 70°F. Then she sets it to 72°F.

23 in winter and 22 in summer. Nights are set at 18 all year long.

I keep mine on 64F room temp and hover around that. I use fans in the heat and portable heaters in the cold. But I heard keep it just below 70 in the winter and just above 70 in the summer to have a better bill.

74F in the winter. In the summer I usually leave the A/C off and use fans, but if it gets above 90F I'll let it run for a few hours before bed.

I seriously don't understand how people farther north of me survive the cold. And I live in Atlanta, so there's a lot of them.

Mine is programmable. In winter it's set to 65F at night and 68F durring the day. When unoccupied it also goes to 65F. I'd love to be able to set it lower because I love the cold but my pet snake probably wouldn't appreciate it even with their hot rock and heat lamp. Durring the summer I have it set to 68F while sleeping 72F durring the day and 78F while unoccupied. I don't shut the AC off while unoccupied because in my area humidity is a much bigger issue in the summer than temperature and removing latent heat takes a long time if you let it build up all day. Currently working on refitting my system for better on demand latent heat removal.

78

I agree that 78°F is way too high to be a confortable sleeping temp, though being in a country where residential AC isn't really a thing and inside temps at night often are higher than that in summer... you get used to it, it'll just never be fun.

My ideal sleeping temp is like 15°C but even if I had AC that seems too wasteful so I'd probably settle for 18-20
