People worry too much, personally I would rather spend the extra $100/month to have the AC at 69 instead of 73. Tennessee born and raised, there’s nothing like coming in from 90+ to some sub-70s AC
I could not care one way or another, we always just get posts the month after it's hot or cold with people thinking NES is fucking them. Nah, it's your 69 in the summer and 75 in the winter with emergency heat that is fucking you.
then they also wonder why the power goes out during hot spells. girl maybe it’s all of you overpowering the grid trying to get your home to be 60 when it’s 100+….
It’s almost like scientists have predicted the very circumstances we’re in for, idk, 70 years? Our cities have had ample opportunity to upgrade their grids. Hell the fact the Fed isn’t forcing it is downright crazy to me
the nes is a public service. it’s not exactly operating at a profit. the board serves without pay. the cost of electric here is considerably affordable compared to many cities where electric is privately run. i consider myself fortunate that we have access to one of the largest publicly operating electric services in the us. while i agree that the grid could use updates, people also need to understand basic concepts like the tragedy of the commons. humans lived without central cooling for the majority of civilization. i think we can survive setting our units at more manageable temps.
Profit has nothing to do with investment in its own infrastructure. Profit is what’s left over afterward. Maybe raise prices a bit and do some upgrades, it’s not a hard equation.
Also, that’s such a tired take. We also survived most of human history without antibiotics and antiseptics, doesn’t mean that I want to go without next time I’m hurt or sick.
“People need to understand basic concepts” - sounds like you need to get off that high horse, my dude.
they raise the prices that people are already saying are too expensive to upgrade the grid so that people can continue to keep their homes at temps 30 below the feels like outside. then, because of the overuse, the outside temps continue to rise past 110 everyday, and people are still attempting to keep their homes in the 60s. the power system will still break down, and we will be in an endless loop of this cycle. it is not a high horse to want to have a semblance of a naturally symbiotic ecosystem in the future.
70 during the day, 68 at night. Anything above that is too hot for me and I’m not going to be miserable in my own home. I’d go without something if I had to in order to pay NES.
Spouse and I are both multigenerational Nashville native, always lived in old-ass 90+ year old houses, 75° is usually fine in the summer for both of us. But for some reason it’s absolutely slaughtering me this year. We have a lot of west and southwest facing windows that bring a ton of sunshine in, but, like that’s not new for us. Idk, maybe I’m just really getting old or something (45yo). Either way, NES now owns every single penny I can make, I expect them to show up demanding our first-born any day now, and I’m still boiling.
That's highly dependent on how well-insulated the structure is, and how efficient the equipment is. Spray foam, Low-E windows, and properly-installed and -serviced 14 SEER equipment (with a mister on the condenser) will get you $200 NES bills on 2500 sqft in August, with the thermostat set at 72 during the day and 67 at night.
This is not the slightest bit true. We keep our house at 74° when we’re home and 72° at night, and our bill for a just-over-2000 sq ft home rarely goes over $200. We could certainly go down to 73° and get nowhere near that amount.
Exactly me. I don’t want my house cold, I want it comfortable. I do turn the fan to on during the day though so that the air is constantly circulating. I have an upstairs that can get warm if I don’t.
You should get those checked. I lived in San Antonio for years and it can be over 100 for almost the entire summer. Never had any issues at any of my places keeping it under 70.
The EPA says to set it at 78.
I'm fairly certain they aren't accounting for how that shit works in multi-level buildings.
If it's under 74 (with also factoring in humidity) I rock fans and have the windows open.
Otherwise, between 76-78
ETA: There's also the 20° rule... https://frederickair.com/home-comfort/reduce-the-stress-on-your-ac-with-the-20-degree-rule/#:~:text=What's%20the%2020%2DDegree%20Rule,no%20less%20than%2075%20degrees.
78 for the central air.
Then we have a window unit in our bedroom that we set to 66 at night.
The combo saves us about $90 per (warm) month over central air alone.
We estimate our window unit has saved us $1500 over the past three years
Damn. My power is $120 a month on 1800 square feet running AC at 68 max 24/7 non-stop. Never been higher than this price.
I even run it when I’m traveling. Wine fridge is also always running and lights are set to 24 hours on inside with outdoor lights in overnight automatically.
Constant 75-77, but I also have a tower fan pointed at my bed, a ceiling fan in my living room, and a badass little high-powered tabletop fan at my desk.
Plus, bottom floor, so.... definitely leeching the neighbor's cool
That's my number too. As soon as we get our first warm day of the year, the AC is turned on and set to 71, and that's where it stays until it's time to turn the heat back on in autumn.
85°F when I leave the house to be at work all day. Mid 70s when I'm home. Low 70s when I'm sleeping.
Y'all need fans and less clothing, or less bio-insulation??
72 during the day, 67-68 at night, and I have a fan blowing on me at ALL times. I make up for the higher electric bill by never turning my heat on in the winter. (Unless it gets like, *too* cold.) if I get even a little bit hot I’m unable to function, so.
We would probably live in the 78-80 range but our large, fluffy dogs like to run and play inside too so we live at 72-75 (wearing coats) to accommodate the babies. I'm not sure how anyone can be living with their air at 68 I would probably die.
78 upstairs and downstairs. I use a fan downstairs if I need it during the day and have a ceiling fan in the bedroom. I do change the upstairs thermostat to 76 before I go to sleep
74 downstairs and 68 upstairs. All the bedrooms are on the second floor. Obviously, we like the bedrooms colder at night. We tried keeping it warmer during the day and only setting the temp low during bedtime hours, but the amount of power it takes to cool the space back down after letting it warm up is a total wash compared to just keeping. It that way all the time.
Luckily i work from home and my roommate doesn’t because i keep it at 74 during the day and the second she walks in the door she throws sweatpants and a hoodie on and gets mad about how hot it is, and turns it down to 68. I prefer it at night but definitely not running it all day.
I can't sleep with the temp higher than 69. I used to keep it at 70 during the day but girlfriend kept complaining it was too cold so I'm trying out 72 this year. I'm liking it so far.
everyone who is saying below 79 during the day is batshit. this is the correct response. who has hundreds of dollars to spend on running a/c 30 degrees less that what it is outside? plus the environment fr
I find it's much more about humidity and air flow vs actual temperature. If my system is set to 78 when it's 80 outside I would die, but when it's 95+ it feels fine. This is because the unit is working enough that the humidity is kept low and the air is being circulated. I also use ceiling fans when needed.
75 during the day and 60 at night. I would rather have the house cold as hell and snuggle in a comforter like it’s winter while I’m sleeping then sweating naked in bed and barely able to sleep. Also barely use the heater during the winter because I prefer the cold any day everyday.
I have a basement that stays cool so I keep it set to 79 or even 80 and it's about 10 degrees cooler downstairs so I just stay down there.
I drop it down to 73 or 74 at night and have a small fan pointed at the bed. Actual temperature in the bedroom is closer to 69-70 due to the fucked up nature of my hvac system.
73, 74 when real temp is over 90 during the day. I also sleep with a fan directly pointed at me from April to September lol house is under 800 sq ft and shaded most of the day so our bill isn't that high
70 when I sleep, and I turn it off as soon as I wake up. When it reaches like, 78 inside during the day I’ll put it on 75. I care about having the windows open more for a breeze lol
74 lowest, 76 highest. I have it on a schedule.
If we're having company over and will be going in and out from the patio, and letting heat in, I might lower it.
Three floors and disparate temps between them. Thermostat on middle floor. 78° when away for workday. Programmed to go to 74° around the time I get home. 72° for bedtime, but my room is usually 4-5° cooler. I have a new HVAC system which is gobs more efficient than the 25+ year old one it replaced. There is still a struggle when it is 95° outside for extended times. I try not to push it excessively.
My husband and I have come to a peace agreement that the AC will be set at 75 and no lower. I still have to wear a sweater in the house. When he does overnight deliveries or housesits for his nephew, I turn the the AC to 78-80 where I'm comfy.
74, BUT we have thermal blackout curtains on the windows. Our house is chilly. Without these curtains, I couldn't stand 74. Our bill for a 2000sq ft home is about 180 a month.
I’m about to relocate from South Florida where I keep it 76-77 during the day and treat myself to 73 at night .. I can’t wait to be comfortable inside my own home
72-74 during the day, 68-70 at night.
We also have a few tower fans in the house to help push air around (no ceiling fans yet), and a dehumidifier that seems to help as well.
Growing up in south georgia, my parents would have it at 78 during the day and 74 at night. That was a little high for me personally, so I do 70 at night and 74 during the day and that’s more than cool enough for me. But everyone’s heat tolerance is different I suppose
We have an ecobee (love it). Set it to 75 daytime (8A - 8P), 72 night time, 80 away. So, if no one is home, it gets pretty warm, but not past easily recoverable in 30 min or so.
76. And in the evenings it can be downright chilly. Even my 14 year old granddaughter spending the night last night said she was cold and put her hoodie on to bed.
I keep mine at 75, I have two huge Bradford pear trees in my front yard that shade most of my house. They’re invasive and they stink in the spring but I am thankful for them.
We keep it on 76° while we’re gone to work, and it drops to 74° when we return home. That way we’re not pushing it as hard during the hottest part of the day when we’re not there for it to matter anyway. We’d go higher but then it would have to work too hard to pull the temp down in the late afternoon and end up costing us just as much. We keep it on 72° at night.
We set the thermostat at 66 when we get up since we’ll be leaving soon after. It gets pushed back to 63 at bedtime. Idk how y’all are comfortable at 75+ let alone sleep in that kind of heat.
72-74 during the day, 68-70 at night. I forgot to turn it down the other night from 72 and woke up at 4 am sweating head to toe. Don’t know how you people do it
This is like a thread of why is my electric bill so high.
People worry too much, personally I would rather spend the extra $100/month to have the AC at 69 instead of 73. Tennessee born and raised, there’s nothing like coming in from 90+ to some sub-70s AC
I could not care one way or another, we always just get posts the month after it's hot or cold with people thinking NES is fucking them. Nah, it's your 69 in the summer and 75 in the winter with emergency heat that is fucking you.
then they also wonder why the power goes out during hot spells. girl maybe it’s all of you overpowering the grid trying to get your home to be 60 when it’s 100+….
Yes! Usually a AC unit only cools 20 degrees lower than the temp outside.
Since this seems to happen every year, maybe they should upgrade the grid with some of that money we give them every month.
It’s almost like scientists have predicted the very circumstances we’re in for, idk, 70 years? Our cities have had ample opportunity to upgrade their grids. Hell the fact the Fed isn’t forcing it is downright crazy to me
the nes is a public service. it’s not exactly operating at a profit. the board serves without pay. the cost of electric here is considerably affordable compared to many cities where electric is privately run. i consider myself fortunate that we have access to one of the largest publicly operating electric services in the us. while i agree that the grid could use updates, people also need to understand basic concepts like the tragedy of the commons. humans lived without central cooling for the majority of civilization. i think we can survive setting our units at more manageable temps.
This is a great point, we pay $0.12 per kWh. Many parts of the country pay double that or more.
Profit has nothing to do with investment in its own infrastructure. Profit is what’s left over afterward. Maybe raise prices a bit and do some upgrades, it’s not a hard equation. Also, that’s such a tired take. We also survived most of human history without antibiotics and antiseptics, doesn’t mean that I want to go without next time I’m hurt or sick. “People need to understand basic concepts” - sounds like you need to get off that high horse, my dude.

Windows open, tits out
What’s your thermostat setting in the Winter?
Same
Seems a bit nippy in the winter time.
70-72
70 during the day, 68 at night. Anything above that is too hot for me and I’m not going to be miserable in my own home. I’d go without something if I had to in order to pay NES.
73 during the day, 68 over night.
Same
Ours exactly
Same
Everyone on this thread is unhinged.
Spouse and I are both multigenerational Nashville native, always lived in old-ass 90+ year old houses, 75° is usually fine in the summer for both of us. But for some reason it’s absolutely slaughtering me this year. We have a lot of west and southwest facing windows that bring a ton of sunshine in, but, like that’s not new for us. Idk, maybe I’m just really getting old or something (45yo). Either way, NES now owns every single penny I can make, I expect them to show up demanding our first-born any day now, and I’m still boiling.
68. I’m realizing I couldn’t live with 75% of you
That works if you live in an apartment, but in a house/over 1500 sq ft or so your power bill would be 5-6 hundred dollars.
That's highly dependent on how well-insulated the structure is, and how efficient the equipment is. Spray foam, Low-E windows, and properly-installed and -serviced 14 SEER equipment (with a mister on the condenser) will get you $200 NES bills on 2500 sqft in August, with the thermostat set at 72 during the day and 67 at night.
I’m not complaining but we have two units we run at 68 degrees for 3,900 square feet and the bill rarely breaks $200
Mine is set at 68 year round power bull is never over 220 1400sq ft house.
But if you set it to 73 the power bill is 400-500… it’s worth the extra hundred a month to not sweat in your house when you come in from cuttin grass
This is not the slightest bit true. We keep our house at 74° when we’re home and 72° at night, and our bill for a just-over-2000 sq ft home rarely goes over $200. We could certainly go down to 73° and get nowhere near that amount.
75 both floors during the day, 70 for the upstairs at night.
75 all the time
This is what I do for both floors. It’s comfortable and my bill is as well. We keep it at 65 in the winter.
Same here
76-77. I like it warm.
74 day, 72 when sleeping
Exactly me. I don’t want my house cold, I want it comfortable. I do turn the fan to on during the day though so that the air is constantly circulating. I have an upstairs that can get warm if I don’t.
71 during the day, 65 at night
Need a roommate? Mine’s cold blooded.
I think my wife and daughter might object 😂
70-74 when I'm home. 75-76 when I'm not. 78 if neither I nor my dogs are there.
77 during the day, 75 at night both floors
80 during the day 75 overnight and we get home
Username checks out.
78, but I put it on 69 when the girlfriend is over
68-70 during the day and 65 at night.. I ain't going to sweat in my own house
This. We usually do 71ish during the day. Our old apartment doesn’t do well with heat and the upstairs.
68
How are y’all not freezing up your HVACs by setting them to 68°-70° when it’s 100° outside??? I have tenants freeze up their units every single summer
Good unit Good windows Good insulation
You should get those checked. I lived in San Antonio for years and it can be over 100 for almost the entire summer. Never had any issues at any of my places keeping it under 70.
When I'm awake: 75 down & up When I'm asleep: 77 down, 73 up (bedrooms) When I'm not home: 77 down & up Alexa controls it all via routines.
I'm originally from Miami, so 80 during day, 75 for night.
From Texas and same. Below 80 calls for a jacket for me.
The EPA says to set it at 78. I'm fairly certain they aren't accounting for how that shit works in multi-level buildings.

Good God
?
78 is hot mate
I don't disagree - but the power bill get's super hot 
Wear less clothes in your house?
The EPA can go suck an egg. I’d boil at that temp
78 for the central air. Then we have a window unit in our bedroom that we set to 66 at night. The combo saves us about $90 per (warm) month over central air alone. We estimate our window unit has saved us $1500 over the past three years
I would rather pay the extra $500/yr for the rest of my house to be 70 degrees April - September
Damn. My power is $120 a month on 1800 square feet running AC at 68 max 24/7 non-stop. Never been higher than this price. I even run it when I’m traveling. Wine fridge is also always running and lights are set to 24 hours on inside with outdoor lights in overnight automatically.
Good for you. We pay $100 in the WINTER
Constant 75-77, but I also have a tower fan pointed at my bed, a ceiling fan in my living room, and a badass little high-powered tabletop fan at my desk. Plus, bottom floor, so.... definitely leeching the neighbor's cool
71 all day basically
That's my number too. As soon as we get our first warm day of the year, the AC is turned on and set to 71, and that's where it stays until it's time to turn the heat back on in autumn.
72-74.

Nice
85°F when I leave the house to be at work all day. Mid 70s when I'm home. Low 70s when I'm sleeping. Y'all need fans and less clothing, or less bio-insulation??
For real. If I got accustomed to 68-70 in my house, I’d hate being outdoors in the summer so much more.
72 day/66 night. New build w high energy efficient windows and insulation. I sleep really hot
78 during the day.. definitely when we aren’t home. We usually cave and drop it to 76 if we are home. At night, we keep it around 73-74.
72 during the day, 67-68 at night, and I have a fan blowing on me at ALL times. I make up for the higher electric bill by never turning my heat on in the winter. (Unless it gets like, *too* cold.) if I get even a little bit hot I’m unable to function, so.
If you set it below like 75 does your ac ever even turn off all summer?
Yeah, off more than on. I don't even have great insulation. Keep it at 72/73 during the day, 70 at night.
77. Y’all are crazy. Put on a T-shirt and some shorts.
100% agree. 70 at night, 80 (as the max) during the day. I work remotely in my underwear, and it's not a problem. Love saving the $$
We would probably live in the 78-80 range but our large, fluffy dogs like to run and play inside too so we live at 72-75 (wearing coats) to accommodate the babies. I'm not sure how anyone can be living with their air at 68 I would probably die.
77!?!!!! You have to be joking!
78 upstairs and downstairs. I use a fan downstairs if I need it during the day and have a ceiling fan in the bedroom. I do change the upstairs thermostat to 76 before I go to sleep
74 downstairs and 68 upstairs. All the bedrooms are on the second floor. Obviously, we like the bedrooms colder at night.

75 during the day and 72 at night. Doesn’t matter right now as a/c is out. Put a window unit in my bedroom.
69 at night. 71 during the day. I hate being hot.
Currently 71.
73/74º during the day and 68 at night.
75 during the day when I’m home. 68 to sleep.
75-78 during the day. Off or 70-75 at night
73-74 day time. 71-72 night time.
69 year round
68 year round.
74-75 in the day 72 at night…had to ease up to that though. I prefer 68 day 66 night but the nes bill would be crazy
Luckily i work from home and my roommate doesn’t because i keep it at 74 during the day and the second she walks in the door she throws sweatpants and a hoodie on and gets mad about how hot it is, and turns it down to 68. I prefer it at night but definitely not running it all day.
68, I don't care if I'm paying more, if I'm in 70 too long I get sick and I rather eat a higher electric bill then an ambulance and hospital bill.
74 during the day, 71 at night
I can't sleep with the temp higher than 69. I used to keep it at 70 during the day but girlfriend kept complaining it was too cold so I'm trying out 72 this year. I'm liking it so far.
We do 78 during the day and 75 at night.
79° downstairs and 77° upstairs. I hate being cold. I wear a fleece jacket when I have to go into the office.
everyone who is saying below 79 during the day is batshit. this is the correct response. who has hundreds of dollars to spend on running a/c 30 degrees less that what it is outside? plus the environment fr
I can drape myself in silk and linen with fans and iced tea, be comfy at 80 inside and not hemorrhage my budget. I can, and I do.
amen! a couple fans, the right clothes, and a cold drink will literally make 80 beautiful especially compared to 100 outside!
76
70 during day and 66 at night.
64
69.
This is wild. Lived here all my life and it’s never been above 69
Typically 70, but I’m not entirely sure the thing is accurate.
This. Thermostat placement in your house has the biggest impact. 72 in one house can feel 68 in another.
It stays 73 in the summer unless it reaches 100 outside then as low as 71 and in the winter it stays at 70 or 71
I usually sleep during the day. Huge secret the HVAC / NES consortium doesn’t want you to know about.
Almost always 74-75. 76 sometimes. It’s off if it’s cool enough outside though (60s or below).
Day: 78 when not home, 73-75 when home Night: 71
74 during the day 73 at night lol
I find it's much more about humidity and air flow vs actual temperature. If my system is set to 78 when it's 80 outside I would die, but when it's 95+ it feels fine. This is because the unit is working enough that the humidity is kept low and the air is being circulated. I also use ceiling fans when needed.
To whatever tf I want because utilities are included in my rent
68° I know. But I'm from here and fed up with this moist, hot ass bullshit
75 during the day and 60 at night. I would rather have the house cold as hell and snuggle in a comforter like it’s winter while I’m sleeping then sweating naked in bed and barely able to sleep. Also barely use the heater during the winter because I prefer the cold any day everyday.
68!
I have a basement that stays cool so I keep it set to 79 or even 80 and it's about 10 degrees cooler downstairs so I just stay down there. I drop it down to 73 or 74 at night and have a small fan pointed at the bed. Actual temperature in the bedroom is closer to 69-70 due to the fucked up nature of my hvac system.
68 day, 66 night
72 night, 74 day
73, 74 when real temp is over 90 during the day. I also sleep with a fan directly pointed at me from April to September lol house is under 800 sq ft and shaded most of the day so our bill isn't that high
72, 68 at night
74 through the day, 72 at night.
75 with ceiling fans running
72-74 and it feels closer to 70 usually.
70 when I sleep, and I turn it off as soon as I wake up. When it reaches like, 78 inside during the day I’ll put it on 75. I care about having the windows open more for a breeze lol
Usually it's set to 74. Ends up about 80° upstairs during the day unless I run the blower non-stop.
73 usually
74/75 day if home - 78 if out. 68/69 in the evening/bedtime.
From 73 by 1am to 80 by 1pm
70
70. I never change it
75 upstairs/ 75 downstairs
Normally keep ours at 74
74 lowest, 76 highest. I have it on a schedule. If we're having company over and will be going in and out from the patio, and letting heat in, I might lower it.
~73. Did have to turn on the vortex fan in my room today. The other rooms upstairs stay cool with ceiling fans. Mine needs extra help.
Three floors and disparate temps between them. Thermostat on middle floor. 78° when away for workday. Programmed to go to 74° around the time I get home. 72° for bedtime, but my room is usually 4-5° cooler. I have a new HVAC system which is gobs more efficient than the 25+ year old one it replaced. There is still a struggle when it is 95° outside for extended times. I try not to push it excessively.
72
77 during the day, 74 at night
79 both floors during the day, 68 at night upstairs
Oh gosh, y'all would freeze me. We do 76 during the day and 75 at night.
I try to keep mine at 71, wife puts it to 74. 76 when we leave house
I lived most of my childhood and a good portion of my adult life in Tennessee with no a/c, so any makes me happy.
68 or 69 during the day, 66 at night. I don't sleep well if I'm warm at night.
This... Pro tip: A Bedjet will change your life.
50° that's then only way it will cool. I keep on for intervals of about 10 min when it's very hot.
My husband and I have come to a peace agreement that the AC will be set at 75 and no lower. I still have to wear a sweater in the house. When he does overnight deliveries or housesits for his nephew, I turn the the AC to 78-80 where I'm comfy.
74, BUT we have thermal blackout curtains on the windows. Our house is chilly. Without these curtains, I couldn't stand 74. Our bill for a 2000sq ft home is about 180 a month.
The last couple of days 76.
Between 68°-71°
75. Anything below that and I turn into a ice sculpture.
Mine was set at 72 last night and I was debating if it was too cold. Mind you, 64 at night in the winter is awesome, so who knows?
75° during the day … 74° at night
Keeping that ish 72 degrees all year round babyyyy that’s the sweet spot
78 degrees summer, 68 degrees winter
75 or so in the day. Cooler at night
I’m about to relocate from South Florida where I keep it 76-77 during the day and treat myself to 73 at night .. I can’t wait to be comfortable inside my own home
66
80 during day, 78 at night.
72-74 during the day, 68-70 at night. We also have a few tower fans in the house to help push air around (no ceiling fans yet), and a dehumidifier that seems to help as well.
76-77 average lately. Less clothing and ceiling fans are on too. Sometimes I feel a chill and click it to 78 for a bit.
Growing up in south georgia, my parents would have it at 78 during the day and 74 at night. That was a little high for me personally, so I do 70 at night and 74 during the day and that’s more than cool enough for me. But everyone’s heat tolerance is different I suppose
76 day 72 at night.
We have an ecobee (love it). Set it to 75 daytime (8A - 8P), 72 night time, 80 away. So, if no one is home, it gets pretty warm, but not past easily recoverable in 30 min or so.
7 year old apartment. During the day 78, but it rarely gets that high to kick on. For sleepy-time, 70.
69
House 67-71 year round...and still sleep with a fan/ bed jet
I'm always cold so mine is at 76 to 78
76. And in the evenings it can be downright chilly. Even my 14 year old granddaughter spending the night last night said she was cold and put her hoodie on to bed.
72 during the day curtains drawn, 69 degrees from 11 PM to 7 in the morning.
78 when I'm gone and 72 when I'm at home.
71 year round, open up the house if it's between 60-75 outside
77⁰ in the day; 71⁰ at night.
Can’t sleep above 68
78-80 during the day and 74 at night
People who can’t tolerate their house hotter than 74 degrees: do you not enjoy a 75 degree day outside? Do you guys not tolerate being outside at all?
I keep mine at 75, I have two huge Bradford pear trees in my front yard that shade most of my house. They’re invasive and they stink in the spring but I am thankful for them.
We keep it on 76° while we’re gone to work, and it drops to 74° when we return home. That way we’re not pushing it as hard during the hottest part of the day when we’re not there for it to matter anyway. We’d go higher but then it would have to work too hard to pull the temp down in the late afternoon and end up costing us just as much. We keep it on 72° at night.
I work outside, so 70. My comfort when not working is more important than the electric bill.
I keep it 73 or 74 during the day, 68-70 at night (though i turn the downstairs where there is no one sleeping up during the night)
I have a small herd of cats, so I do about 70-72 at night so I can sleep, 73-75 during the day so they can sleep. Seems to work okayish.
67°
We set the thermostat at 66 when we get up since we’ll be leaving soon after. It gets pushed back to 63 at bedtime. Idk how y’all are comfortable at 75+ let alone sleep in that kind of heat.
69; because the number is funny.
72-74 during the day, 68-70 at night. I forgot to turn it down the other night from 72 and woke up at 4 am sweating head to toe. Don’t know how you people do it
68
68. Luckily I make enough to not sweat the extra few bucks. Sometimes I'll even crack a window for a breeze and keep the AC on.
75F during the day 70F at night and 67F in the winter.
