The thermostat wars are a classic clash of science, comfort, and stubbornness. There are many key factors fueling those central heating arguments, rooted in physiology, psychology, and physics.

Data from ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) suggests 68 to 74°F (20–23°C) satisfies most people most of the time. Split the difference at 71°F (22°C), layer up or strip down as needed and call it a truce. Or, get a dual zone system and let science win. You can have separate temps AND separate peace.
