Are we, who really know but it was relatively cheap to do so we did it.
June 1 to September 30 from 2010 to 2016, our temp set at 81°in a PV, Cottage, and stucco Designer. No one in house except home watch weekly.

2017 same Parameters same houses, set temperature at 77°.

Adding the KWH, for a date parameters, cost increase was $3.8112 extra per month.

If we leave the house for a vaca always leave temp at 77, savings of a few dollars per month not worth it for us, to bump temp to 81.
