Oh my gosh I can't even imagine. I got the mini split system because oil was $600/month at 64°

I'm currently between 66-68° in the house which is just... Not fun

I've never kept the house warmer than that. It's amazing how different all of our tolerances are.

I also lower the heat to 60 every night, and it doesn't turn back on until the kids are getting home from school. Really cuts down on the cost.

I start to not be able to work comfortably around the house if it gets below 70, it feels like my fingers are too stiff to work properly and I'm not arthritic. Longer sleeves aren't an answer because I just push them up my forearms, and wearing clothes that are too bulky interferes with my ability to do housework

I would let the house get cooler at night but it interferes with my sleep because I wear a CPAP mask (sleep apnea), I get condensation that then rolls out of the mask and up my nose. Not conducive to a good night of sleep

I would like to save more money, I've been frugal my entire adult life, but things in life interfere. It's frustrating

I feel that! I had issues with my CPAP in the summer when it was next to the air conditioner!

You could try turning down the humidifier, but it seems like you probably thought of that.

Keep in mind, thermostats aren't that accurate, odds are we keep the houses at about the same temp.

We have the main part of the house set at 55 and individual rooms are set according to whose room it is (each bedroom/bathroom has its own thermostat). It still massively sucks.
