I live in central Florida, and I keep mine at 70. Next?

:nod: Especially after 10 minutes of being inside.

76? If I wanted to be that hot, I'd just stand in the shade and flutter a ladies fan while I melted.

That's what my neighbors say. Until the bill arives. I can buy a lot of beer for the difference between what I pay and what they pay.

Maybe they're like me, and don't care about the extra cost.

We got new 'smart meters' installed in our area last summer and everybody's electricity bill literally doubled :eek:

Actually, I'm sort of with Jeff on this one. 74-76 in the high 80s and above is ok because the AC acts as a dehumidifier as well, pulling moisture out of the air so the slightly higher temperature is more bearable. Keep the air moving with fans and it's fine.

I just can't afford to run the air below 74 in the summer.

Yeah mate, we all know what the AC does. ;) No lesson needed on it.

I cant afford not to run it at 70, and anything higher than 65 at night is just wrong.

Consol thanks you. Environmentalists, not so much.

65 at nights for me, or I wouldn't be able to sleep.
I'm sure 65°F is very nice, but I'm not interested in footing the bill to get down that low. :thumbdown:
