-6c outside, probably about 8c inside until I put the heating on in the evening, then like I said, aoround 16c indoors by 9pm.
Those have been the typical temps for the last couple of weeks, up to 15c outside tomorrow.

Wow! Some of the electric companies in the States give discounts on electric use bills if homeowners with smart-thermosats allow their utility company to adjust their thermostats. However, the lowest set-back temperature during heating season is typically around 68 F (20 C.) Utilities adjusting home thermostats usually di this more often during the summer months.

I have a sweatshirt and a down vest on, I keep my programable thermostat at 67 F. it was 68 F ... It's relevant to the outside temps, what is your outside temp? right now I'm at 15 F or -10 C, it was sunny today so my furnace started about a hour ago ... Now ... if I want to be naked in the house this time of year, I would have to go down and light the wood stove and shortly it would be around 80 F ... laugh ... blah

laugh ... wave ... snowed in

The forecast here for next week is very cold, it seems like to me, and I've lived here for 38 years, the weather is changing, the last few years right around now, I get 2-3 weeks of very cold arctic air, it sounds like it's coming again next week, right on schedule ... stay inside and watch football gal, but put some clothes on... laugh

Galley, I can't even imagine 77F in the dead of Winter. What kind of heat do you have? It's 39F outside right now probably going down to th 20's tonight. Ashland VA. Inside it's 68F right now. Not exactly warm, but livable. I have an electric blanket on my bed, I turn it on about a half hour before bedtime, I can't stand getting into a cold bed. My programmable thermo is set to maintain 68 deg. I do have a small woodstove which I use just about every day.

My home is heated with natural gas. I tried to use a heated blanket but I don’t like anything much other than a bed sheet on me while sleeping.

Could be any number of things:

1 : The thermostat is not properly calibrated, so it's reading 77º but registering something totally different.

2 : A part of your ductwork has separated so your heat is escaping out & not reaching your rooms.

3 : The pilot light has gone out on your furnace

4 : Your furnace needs servicing.

Of course, you can check the first 3 on your own.

Good luck & stay warm! comfort
