At what temperature do people start to turn on their central heating?
I normally wait til end of October when the daytime temp indoors is
around 55 degrees. Now it is around 57 degrees indoors in the
morning.Very cold. Catching colds constantly. I thought of turning it
on a week ago when my cat would constanty climb on top of me because I
was the best source of heat. I'm a walking elecrric blanket to
her.Feels colder now than in the past since I lost about 40 pounds
since last May.

We let it get down to 65 inside at night and keep it at 72 during the day.
The cats have a higher body temperature and would prefer it warmer. In fact
sleeping close to the dog starts to look like a good option to them.

My health isn't good and I just don't find it worthwhile to be too
uncomfortable. When the central heat is on a lot I do have to make sure the
humidity doesn't go too low. But that isn't a problem most places.
