**** “I’m in the Houston area, and keep it 78 during the day and 76 at night in aummer, 72 in winter” ****
South Texas here ... No AC so that summer setting doesn’t matter but if I set my Winter Thermostat at 72 in the Winter, I’d be wearing Long Johns in the house. I’m acclimated to heat, cool not so much.
I can’t stand the heat. My body metabolism runs so hot, I’m like a furnace. In the winter? I’m as happy as can be. I should move up north, but my wife says she’s not. For now, I’ll stay put. When the kids get older and move out? I’m moving north.
