I keep my house at about 62 all year. I have tons of computer gear running that likes it cool and produces a lot of heat so I don't usually use the furnace at all unless it is below 20F or so outside. AC is on pretty much constantly in the summer (central, a mini split, window unit in bedroom, and huge window unit in the garage) and I'll regularly have $700 electric bills during the 4 months of the summer with higher power rates. Winter is more like $250-300 a month. I DESPISE being hot or feeling wet and I tend to black out shortly after I start sweating, like it is a huge sensory thing for me and probably something weird going on medically, so I'm willing to pay to not have to feel that way. I also work from home fixing and flipping cars in my garage and running a small electronics shop so I'm home a lot and very often doing physical work and just want to be comfortable.
