What’s a good temperature to set the thermostat in my apartment during the winter? It’s a 2 bedroom apartment. I’m home most days with my youngest who is almost 15 months. My 6 year old goes to school and my kids dad works a lot. I want it set where we’re warm but also don’t want to drive up the electric bill. I also plan on buying a heater as well.

Michigan. Open windows and fans in summer. 68 during the day, 63 overnight during the winter. Unless it’s REALLY cold, then we go above 70.

60, I keep it at 65 all summer and don’t use the fireplace until it gets to 60. Usually I don’t even need the heater but will turn it on if the fireplace doesn’t knock out the chill
Window units for summer and thermostat stays at 72-76 in winter. Sometimes higher
65 but I’m in between 2 apartments… May up it a degree or 2 if needed just so toddler doesn’t get cold… I’m in Ohio…

Should staY at 68/72, , turning it up and down is worse on the bill and a heater will be too…
Mine is at 72 all winter… And my gas bill isn’t crazy like people will assume. If you keep it the same temperature all the time the bill won’t run up much since it should only ever need to heat a couple degrees

Mine is always set between 68°-70° depending on my movement level.

Whatever is comfortable for you? Lmao what kind of question is this 
A space heater? That will shoot your electric bill up, I don’t recommend. We usually keep ours at about 68, it keeps it comfortable for us.
When it’s really cold we set it at 64° during the day since we’re more active and moving around but we set it at 68° for sleeping. However, I think for babies and toddlers they recommend their
rooms to be 68° - 72° for sleeping so I’d say you probably want to keep the house at a minimum of 68°.
This s has so many variables that it has a almost impossible to answer. What state, do you(and babe) tend to run warm or easily cold, do you like to be bundled or run in minimal clothing and does your apartment retain heat well or does it tend to cool off quickly?
Personally I keep between 65-68 in the winter as I don’t like to be overly hot (I tend to run warm anyway) and I hate being completely bundled up. They say that 72° is the point at which you neither feel hot or cold but I find it almost to warm in the winter.
68 seems to work best. Space heater for bathroom
63-65 max. I’m not a lizard that needs a heat lamp!

I normally do 64 but occasionally 66 if it feels extra chilly
We stay at 68. I wouldn’t bother with the heater. It won’t help much and will run up your bill.

70…
only time i didnt use heat was in Arizona for almost 2 years
I live in alaska so it’s always 70-72 degrees (I have an infant) but I don’t pay for heat and our electric bill is never over $105.00 and that’s includes plugging in our vehicles

Get you a humidifier it will make the temperature you choose feel warmer.
Don’t ask me, bc it’s 77° 
68° all year long or I’ll die
Holy crap, i see everyone saying 68! Where are you all at?? Here in Florida, we keep it at 78 during the day if we are home, 80 if we aren’t. 74 at night. Winter if it hits 60’s in the house heat gets turned on🤣 my office is a meat locker, i have a heater by my desk all year long!

Ohio here. 73-74 degrees year round. We own reptiles so we can’t let it get too cold.
Um so u don’t want to run up ur electric bill but will but a heater which will run up ur electric bill tell me how this makes sense please
In summer I’ll put it at 80; now that it’s getting to the 30s at night I keep it at 73 because 72 feels freezing🤣
Between 68 and 70 depending on how cold it gets - although we’re on the second floor so it’s a bit warmer
We keep our 2 bedrm apt at 68. We have concrete floors under crappy thin laminate flooring. It keeps peeling up. We might keep it cooler but we have to worry about pipes freezing.
70-72 for my old war time 3 bedroom house
Heaters are usually expensive to use as a heating source
