The best temperature for your house?

[elloras]

My husband and I are constantly fighting about the heating in the house. I do feel colder than he does especially as he is from up North and me down South but he says that the heating is too high and I always feel cold.
What is the optimum temperature for your house and the healthiest too?

21 deg c is usually regarded as the optimum room temp.
we have a similiar problem in our house, i dont feel the cold but suffer badly in the heat, the missus always feels cold, she will put he room stat up to 25 and cook me to death.

Luckily I live on my own so I don't need to fight with myself. Lol. I have mine at 21 degs but I still feel a little cold. I don't want it any warmer though as its very costly.

I keep mine cooler than 21....i hate being too hot, would rather be in cosey clothes

If it is really cold i.e freezing best to keep heating on all the time at a lower temperature say 20c

20 degrees C is what I like in my living room, but a few degrees cooler in bedrooms.

you should either turn your heating off or down very low whilst your in bed as if its too hot you wont slep well

We set our thermostat at 19 or 20, depending on the weather. I feel the cold far more than my husband does but in the interests of economy, I wear extra layers of clothing or really thick fleeces indoors and find that if I'm moving around a lot, 19 degrees is OK. and the air doesn't feel so dry which can irritate coughs at this time of year. Our house is well insulated, so the central heating is always switched off at night as neither of us likes a hot bedroom. It's probably far healthier to wear extra layers of clothing than to switch up the thermostat, unless you have very young children or an elderly immobile person in the house.
