“Personally, I don't like to turn on the heat very much. I just use blankets to stay warm, but it hasn't really changed because of high energy costs.”

“Yes. If I'm feeling cold, I'll put on a sweatshirt instead of turning up the heat. I try to keep the thermostat low, especially when I'm not at the house.”
