The poll, commissioned by Honeywell, found that 54% of households in the UK argue about their home's heating. For some 20% of respondents, they even end up residing in a different room in the house because they prefer their heating at a different temperature.
When it comes to the difference between men and women, 44% of women said they wanted the house warmer, compared to just 28% of men.
However, it is not just the temperature setting that is dividing households. Around 11% of arguments are down to the timing of heating settings, such as whether to have the heating on late in the evening.
The findings come as part of Honeywell's 'The Big Freeze' report, which found that around one in five Britons (18%) are now waiting as long as possible before they switch on their central heating. While many turn the heating on in October, 1% admitted they managed to hold out until January, while 34% said they change the temperature daily. A further 19% said the temperature setting always remained the same.
Jeremy Peterson, general manager of Honeywell's Home Comfort & Energy Systems division, which carried out the poll, said: "The cold snap is a good reminder for us all not only to find our thermostat, but to make sure we get our home heating right.
"Just spending five minutes to understand your heating controls can save you real money."
