Last winter, we turned on the heat when it was dropping into the low 40s/30s at night.
But there's never a point where it's like "ok, the heat comes on now, and it'll be on for the duration of winter" the way it is in the midwest. It's more day-to-day here.

4. We don't use the thermostat. |

We don't like to sleep with heat on. We'll run it in the evening on the coldest days and shut it off before going to bed. The air conditioner, we try to limit to the hottest afternoons of the summer, but don't run it at night.

5. Not a Californian, but this Pennsylvanian still hasn't turned the heat on |
|
My place is insulated well enough that I get plenty of passive solar gain. The coolest it's gotten indoors was 62 degrees, the next day it was up to 73 just from the sun. I'm going gasless as long as I can.
