Living a 10 min walk from the beach near Santa Cruz, CA we sure don't need A/C other than maybe 6-10 days/year. High temps are typically in the mid 60s, low temps in the 50s during the summer, and just a little lower in the winter.
So, the heat's always "on". The programmable thermostat set points are 68 during the day and 63 at night. It's usually warm enough that the furnace doesn't run much from April-Oct, though when we get a few foggy days in a row it'll fire up to keep that damp cold away.
