Reply to comment by tinymsv in Electricity Bill by dupattaluella

I will say 68⁰ is kind of high. We're at 65⁰ during the day and I'm thinking of lowering it 1-2⁰.

Do you at least lower it at night when you sleep?

65 is incredible low. I don’t lower it when we sleep as we have a baby.

You can wrap the baby in a thicker blanket or sleeper. I mean, what did people used to use before we had heat to keep our houses at 68⁰? Not saying you need to change what you do, but if you want to save money, there are ways to lower the temp and keep the baby warm.

We wanted a wood stove, but we decided we want to get out of MA badly so we're trying to update the house and wait out the bad real estate market for now. Once prices are better, we're going to sell and get a multi family home so we can rent some of it out and have more money to invest.
