House temperatures
It’s all relative, depending on what you’re wearing and your expectations, I think.
In our house in Asheville, with radiant floor heat, when it didn’t work so well before readjustments, 65°F seemed downright cold.
Here in Quebec, well, that’s a really nice temperature. We both wear base layers in the house!
Happily, if we’re here to continuously feed the fire in the vintage wood stove, well, we can keep the main living area around 68°F to 70°F, dropping down much lower overnight or when we’re out skiing.
Of course, the wood stove is assisted by various convection heaters. Depending on their setting, it can be toasty or closer to 60°F (or less), when we return.
When my hubbie gets up, early in the morning (much earlier than me), it can be in the low to mid 50° F on the main living room floor. Nippy! But he gets the wood stove going, turns up the convection heaters and it’s usually around 62-63°F when I get up.
Thank goodness for our vintage wood stove!
