Are you using variable day/night temp settings? If so please relate your values.

79F summer, with ceiling fans on, and 70 winter. It's not the heat, its the humidity!

79 in the summer, 72 in the winter. It doesnt have to be that cool indoors in the summer, just maybe 10 degrees cooler than outside

We find 79 daytime and 74 bedtime a happy compromise between my wife and I…I like it cooler she likes it a bit warmer, but the humid inside stays under 60%.

80 during the day with celling fans running and 69 at night while sleeping

AC at 78 average daytimes. At night whole house at 79 except bedroom we set at 72 to sleep cool. Home HVAC zone system helps us save some money.

Age comes in to equation..it seem the older you are the warmer you keep you home. My in-laws 80 year round. Parents 79 year round. And they wear sweaters.

Our house 72-74 day sleep 69ish

According to the experts, if you raise your thermostat just one degree in the summer, you will decrease your electric bill by 2 percent.

So if you normally keep it at 72 degrees, increasing it to 79 degrees will save you 14% on your energy bill.

Is that true? We have a broad range of temperatures listed so far. What is the square foot of your house and what is the average monthly bill? Does it pay to turn the thermostat up?

I have about a 1500 square foot house and usually keep the temperature at 78 during the day and my monthly electric bill varies from $100 to $150 a month.

My home is 2070 sq ft and an enclosed lanai of 390 sq ft. I keep the AC at 74 24 by 7. The pool runsabout 8 hours a day. My most recent bill was $220 which I think is inexpensive.

Usually 78 in the day and maybe 77 at night. Depends on our company though. Some like it cooler.

72 day and night. Would prefer cooler at night but I turn the fan higher.

That sounds about right. My house is 1150 sq ft, and in the summer I keep it at 75 degrees (day& night) my last bill was $101 which I think is a bargain!

During the day, the outside temperature is usually around 95 degrees and during the night, the outside temperature is usually around 75 degrees.

Why does everyone turn the air conditioner down at night - when it is much cooler than during the daytime?
