(8,646 posts)I'm in Canada and while we rarely need it, I have a really crappily (yes, that's a word, lol) insulated 2-story and my bedroom is freezing in the winter, which is okay, I can pile on the clothes, but is an oven in the summer, even in moderate temps. And it's mostly MY room, not the other 2 bedrooms where my kids are, since the sun shines right in my room when the sun sets and the white blinds help only a small bit. Anyhow, when the temps are normal, I keep it at 76. Recently we had hellish weather where we hit 92 degrees with 80-something % humidity (so it 'felt' like over 100). Not normal for here at all - usually at 90 degrees we are at 10% humidity, LOL. So I totally couldn't deal with it. I kept it at 70 at night so it could keep up with the heat and I could sleep. It has a remote I keep on my night stand so if it gets cool enough, I can just raise the temp in the middle of the night.
My downstairs is perfectly cool and fine and doesn't need a/c at all, even on hot days it only reaches 25 C (77 F).
