I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while. I saw a comment a month or so ago. Person said they keep their thermostat at like 65 in the winter and 78 in the summer. 78 seems fucking insane to me. That’s too damn hot for inside. How do you sleep at 78 degrees?

Are they a lizard person or am I a baby?

Edit 1: I love all the comments on this! Never thought this post would create such discussion. Looking at the comments vs upvotes it honestly seems 50/50ish that 78 is hot for the indoors. Can lemmy do polls?

    Multi-stage equipment helps a ton. I hate how people tack mini-splits on their homes like AutoZone hood scoops, but their dehumidifier function is awesome in the shoulder seasons.

      I am seriously considering getting rid of central air and doing like a 5 zone mini split system, partially for this flexibility, but also to save space over the centralized air handler, which takes up a bunch of space in the basement I’d like to reclaim.

        I want to add one to the upstairs master bedroom, since it’s the only room occupied most of the time. But my unit was a 2006 model so I put those funds towards a variable speed condenser, furnace, and EXV coil. And the wife didn’t want a visible head in the bedroom.

        Those multizone systems can get unwieldy on retrofits. Find a good clean installation and chase that installer down.
