In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

Answer 1

yup

Answer 2

Well, I usually have it cooler in the winter than in the summer, but as someone else mentioned the lower humidity in the winter make it feel cooler.

Answer 3

I keep it about the same all year. Around 70.

68-70 is comfortable to me. So that is what my house is set at pretty much year round.

I guess I'm predictable. But that is also because I wear the same amount of clothes in my house at all times.

Answer 4

uh-- well because the temps are soooooooo cold if you don't you'd freeze to death- at least in my old house....and I am COLD BLOODED- always FREEZING! I work with a girl who has her air condition on year round and we live in Pennsylvania- where winters are COLD....not as bad as the md west but COLD.

Answer 5

Do you think there is only one perfect temperature.NO BUT REALLY. We feel heat and cool by our skin. So we adjust the temperature

Answer 6

Because its mind over matter. People are weather contrarians. They want what they don't have...because they have the power to make that change.

Answer 7

we keep our house in the low 70's. where i live, summer is much hotter than that.

Answer 8

lower humidity in winter makes us feel cooler.

Answer 9

Because our human bodies are more warm blooded than what we really realize. So instead of letting ourselves go into hyperthermia, and freeze to death, we stay as warm as possible, dummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
