Mine is set at 80 degrees during the summer. During the winter it is at 60 or maybe 65. I live in an over 100 year old dog trot style house in Alabama with only attic insulation and the original single pane double hung windows.

You don't have to live like that.

Even this way, $200+ per month electricity and gas bills are normal. I am working on making some wooden storm windows that should help. Still iffy on spray foam insulation, I've heard of older homes having moisture problems afterwards.
