My wife and I had very different thresholds when it comes to getting cold.
She feels cold when the temperature dips below 70 degrees in the house.
I don’t feel cold unless it is 60°. We often have minor disagreements about when to turn on the heat during the cold winter season. Since we live in a part of the country with mild temperatures, we often wait until November or December to use the heat pump. Honestly, I don’t mind waiting that long because it saves a ton of money on our electric bills. We spend a lot of cash to run the AC all summer, and I love taking a break from the high utility bill. Last week the temperatures were a bit cold overnight and my wife wanted to turn on the heat pump. I protested for a few days and finally gave in and turned on the thermostat. We ran the heat pump for 3 days, while the outdoor temperatures were in the 50s. I woke up after the third day and the indoor temperature was 78 degrees. The outdoor temperature was 20 degrees higher than the previous day. I immediately went to the thermostat to turn on the A/C. My wife didn’t want me to turn the A/C back on, but I wasn’t going to sit around in the house feeling uncomfortable. I would much rather deal with cold, frigid temperatures than deal with heat, humidity, and the feeling of discomfort. I don’t mind if my wife complains about the indoor temperatures, as long as our electric bill stays in the $200 range this winter.
