I'm a new home owner. The home was built in 1979 but has been insulated nicely and is equipped with all around double pane windows and also a new ac/furnace unit for efficiency. I moved in in January 2011 during the dead of winter. I kept the thermostat at 55 and was comfortable in sweat pants and snuggling in a quilt when lounging. This summer, I've kept the thermostat at 78 and have been comfortable but have new ceiling fans in every room. I guess there is no happy one temp fits all. It depends on home efficiency, air flow, climate/humidity, and household. Happy thoughts!
