[poll] Thermostat Settings

[Poll #1087969]
I meant to ask: when you're awake.
Er, and right now / during the winter. For heat.

I'm actually not sure what my thermostat is set to. this is because the person who installed it didn't know what they're doing and it's not calibrated correctly. If I actually set it to 68 degrees, for example, the house would end up around 78-80 degrees. I suspect it's miscalibrated by about 8-10 degrees, though. I'd estimate it's set around 68.

I don't think thermostats can be calibrated. Buy a new one? It's just one pair of wires going into the wall telling the heater to be on or off. Or if you don't mind it being wrong... it doesn't matter.
