70 most of the time. A bit down if sleeping. Try to turn it off or low when going out. I work from home too worth mentioning.

You really should consider turning it down while you sleep and when you leave the house. If you can get a programmable thermostat it will pay for itself in the savings. Your home doesn’t need to be 70 degrees when you’re asleep.

Mine is set at 68 when I’m home and down to 62 when I’m away/sleeping.

Awesome. Good idea with the programmable thermostat

With that lifestyle you would probably benefit from weatherizing/insulation. Working from home too - utilities are more

Your best bet is turning down at night and adding a blanket. If you are at a desk during the day, not moving around, you want to be cozy. So, when you’re sleeping might be your best opportunity. Try 69 during the day ( no pun intended, lol)
