What Temp do you keep your heaters at?

So a spin off of "What temp do you keep your ACs at" thread:
https://www.i-club.com/forums/bay-area-15/what-temp-do-you-keep-your-air-conditioner-221296/

So what are your heaters set at?
Turn them down/off when you leave?







Norm have ours 68-70* and turn it off at night/when we leave

We keep it at a cool 68* if we get too cold we just go light up a brush pile and get a big fire going. 10 acres and theres always enough stuff to burn.

Haven't turned it on yet but damn near did last night lol. Usually I just leave it at 68 and not touch it. Once I started doing that years ago keeps the bill down. Costs more to raise it and lower it all the time.

we've got southern exposure, concrete floors and big windows so... we only use the heater a few times a winter and only when the daystar has been blocked for more than a day or three. It only takes a little bit of sunshine to warm our place up. I like it, my wife... not so much.

But, the times we do use it we set it at about 68º or so...

If it's cold enough for a heater it's cold enough for this....

66-70...
but I much prefer windows down. I usually don't even run Climate Control.

I actually never had A/C till now. All my previous cars were way to old, and never had them or broke. Just use to running with the windows open.

I thought everyone was talking about houses, not cars... You have climate control? Jealous...
