find out why you're running so cold. I suppose it's possible the

something else so it thinks the temperature is 80, but a thermometer
will tell you that, too.

A larger than necessary wiring hole behind the T-Stat can artificially
affect the stat with heat from the wall cavity. I seal-up around the
wire holes.

In summary, given this additional information, the A/C is almost
definitely the problem and the reason is almost certainly that
something isn't right so you need to get the installer out to find out
what the problem actually is and fix it.

The OP can cut back now as mentioned.

I think we pay more $$ during peak hours and $ during non peak hours.
I have to look at this again.

We try to avoid big appliances during the day, really so in the
summer.
