Central heat is at 60*. Until a few hours ago, it was at 61*. I'm pushing it a bit. Sadly, we don't have a programmable thermostat. I asked the landlord about putting one in and he said no. If we did, I'd set it to basically never turn on at night.
But we have a space heater in the living room, which is where we tend to hunker down in the evenings. (Or TV, bistro table where we eat, and computers are all in the space).
Summer was 78*. (But, see below.)
If I ever build a house, it will have mini-splits. I've realized the ridiculousness of heating or cooling an entire house. Despite having central AC, and despite the fact that I sleep very, very hot, we set our unit not to push any air upstairs. (It has a valve thingy that in theory pushes more hot air downstairs in winter when we are heating and more cool upstairs in summer when we are cooling, but we keep it set on winter/downstairs year round.) Instead, we bought a portable unit and set it up in our bedroom, so we were only cooling that space, and only when we were in the room sleeping. I set it at 70*, and frankly, that was borderline uncomfortably warm. I'm thrilled if our bedroom is frigid. We lived in Germany and never turned on the heat in our bedroom. An extra blanket and a hot water bottle to start of the night were plenty. Laying in bed being able to see my breath, all tucked up in a heap of blankets (which I could shed one by one as the night progressed) was the best!
