So at work today, the discussion of household heating and gas/electricity bills came up (entering winter Down Under), and I commented that we have our central heating set to 14 Celsius (approx 57 Freedoms) overnight, and off during the day/evening. We find that 14 is quite comfortable under a fluffy doona/duvet. I was warmly mocked (well natured), and informed that something closer to 24C (75F) is appropriate, day and night.

Surely not… right?

    Sorry I only know Americans. In in the south so it can get warm. In the summer we set the air conditioning to cool down to 78 F (25.5C) when we are home (82F, 28C when we are out) during the winter we set the heat to 62 F (16.6C), but down to 60F at night.
