I'm one of those who keeps the inside closer
to the outside than many. In the winter I
usually set it about 65 to 68 when I'm home in
the day and 63 or a few less at night, both will
be higher if the humidity is very low and the
humidifier isn't fixing that. In the summer the
house stays cool most days if I open windows at
night and close them before it gets much above
70. When I use the A/C it is usually set about
78 or a few higher. I will set it a few lower
if the humidity is bad.

I always find it uncomfortable to go from the
cold outside to a place that is much over 70 or
from the hot outside to a place that is colder
than about 75. If possible I try have the
windows open at least in the cool part of most
summer nights and in the warm part of the winter
days that are much above 65.
