I find it amazing how people differ with temperature control.
As a child you just get used to whatever your parents set the thermostat to. My mother was cheap & never willing to turn on the oil furnace. It would be freezing cold all Autumn & my mother wouldn’t turn on the gas fireplace. She also refused to invest in an cooling system for the summer. I just got used to being cold & then perspiring to death. Heating, Ventilation, & A/C wasn’t a huge factor in our house. I am now married & I have a central heating & cooling system. My hubby is the opposite of my mother. She constantly is using our Heating, Ventilation, & A/C unit & messing with the thermostat. In the Summer she has to have the A/C blasting on high. The apartment is freezing cold when she is in charge of the thermostat. In the Wintertide she sets the thermostat so high that I am perspiring. So I am uncomfortable in my own home, just in a odd way this time. When my hubby leaves on a business trip or to visit her parents, I turn the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C off. I actually get to the right temperature. I have thought about putting my foot down on the temperature settings. I have never lived in a apartment where I have enjoyed the temperature of it. I should get a say in the heating & cooling this time. I am no longer a small child. I pay half the mortgage after all. So if I don’t want AC, I shouldn’t have to suffer.
