It is difficult to project what I can endure when I'm in my 70's and 80's, but the local utility has doubled the electric rates so I've decided to cut way back. The heat is turned on for one cycle to 60 degrees F when the better half gets up for a shower and work. Since I'm retired, the heat remains off all day until she returns in late afternoon and it again runs for a cycle. House temperature drops to roughly between 34 and 40 degrees depending on the outside ambient temperature. Just need to wear a few more garments. The A/C only ran two half days (nighttime hours during sleeping) last summer when the overnight temperature would not drop below 88 degrees. We used fans instead. Haven't used the clothes dryer in 10 years, hang everything outside even in the winter. Although can afford any utility bill they could throw at us, we don't like the rates so we endure the alternative. Wood heat is an option (have considerable wood and a big stove), but did that for a couple of years and don't want the hassle again. Really have become accustomed to the lower temperatures so the sacrifice seems minimal anyway. Significantly less sinus problems and neither of us have had a cold since initiating this reqimen. I also don't like the giant corporate profits either, but Americans are not willing to suffer any discomfort although they can't afford the alternative. With today's society norms we would never have progress beyond the original 13 colonies nor perhaps even founded America at all.
