On GMA this morning they had an energy expert on. She suggested keeping your thermostat set at 78 for the air conditioner.
What do you keep yours at?
On the news last night they were saying the same thing too but I always thought that it was 76.. I went to go check our thermostat (hubby messes with it) and it was on 78 but they did say when someone is home is should be at 78, is that right?
(((HUGZ)))
@Neicy...LOL! I’m with you on that one!!!!
I think ours is on 70 right now....it’s going to be 97 today so.....
It varies between 78 and 76. We have a 2 story house (which I will NEVER buy again). I spend a lot of time upstairs and it doesn’t cool very well so we put a window unit (I know, it looks tacky but hey.......) in our bedroom window. It works great because the downstairs is always cold and upstairs is hot.
I don’t understand how 78 could keep you cool.... Even sitting still I think I would be hot!
Never a problem here - we have the heating more on and I don’t know of a home with air conditioning
we have ours set for 78. It is comfortable anything under and then I am wearing a sweatshirt. I don’t really like a full blast air conditioner and we have lived in some very hot places.
mine is set for 76 during the day and 70 for at night. I have no shade here and face east - west so the upstairs gets very hot.
I keep mine at 79. I also keep my ceiling fans on when I am at home. Keeps the air circulating. If I get uncomfortable, I will set it to 78 but that is it.
I don’t like a high electric bill and also cannot afford any higher bills. If I get hot, I just shed some clothes!
78 is good. Sometimes at night I’ll turn it up to 79 to save money. But if I’m trying to put on makeup, there‘a whole nother story!!!! I either have to turn it down to 72 just to get my makeup not to slide off my face, or else keep it at 78 and bring my makeup mirror with me into the kitchen and do my face in the freezer.
Peace,

We don’t have central air, only a large room air conditioner built into the wall in the living room, ceiling fans in every room, and a whole house fan that hub put into the attic which at night when you close all the downstairs windows and open bedroom windows, the air that comes in is super cool, even on hot days, plus we are surrounded by lots of trees in the yard..we never have a high electric bill, which helps a lot with costs.
Like 75 during the day, but at nite i have to turn it down to like 72, i think i may be having hot flashes or nite sweats, and i cant stand to be hot at nite, even in the winter.
