Located in San Antonio Tx Keep mine at 78 also, most of the time. Every
once in a while turn it down to 77 or, rarely, 76. Got a programmable stat, but I don't use it, since my hours vary so much. Turn it to 83 or 84 when I leave in the morning. It usually doesn.t take that long to cool down when I get home. |
76 during the day when i'm home -- i'm usually not, so 84.
off at night. |
The question reminds me of a supposeddly true story I read in Readers
Digest some time ago: A guy called his electric company complaining about his high bills. One of the first questions they asked him was "what is your air conditioner set on?" He replied "It's set on a concrete slab in the back yard" |

That will change as the outside temperature goes up or the outside humidity goes down. At the beginning of the warm weather my body is not ready for the heat, but I just keep moving it up as time goes on. Likewise during fall it goes the other way over several weeks. In addition to comfort, I also want to keep the humidity down (40-55%) due to the piano. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

Jeezy weezy - why do you all even have AC?
68 - 70, Twenty four by seven. Missouri. |
I'm with you, Matt. 68 to 70 all the time once the AC goes on. I'm in north
central New Jersey. I've lived in south Florida and as far as I'm concerned, the summers in NJ are just as hot and humid as Florida. "Matt" wrote in message oups.com... Jeezy weezy - why do you all even have AC? 68 - 70, Twenty four by seven. Missouri. |

My thermostats are set to give the comfort of 72F at 30% humidity,
meaning the temp will go higher on dry days. I refuse to sacrifice comfort, especially since my A/C bill will probably peak at just $90/month, and that's for a hot climate and 4400 ft^2. |
South Jersey. I keep the A/C at 74 and in winter
the heat is also set at 74. And do you extend the same courtesy to the miscreants who live above your cellar? |
Real question is what do you wish the AC to do?
No, thats not a question at all. I grew up with no AC, and so you see, I have a very clear idea of what I want the AC to do. The goal is to make it more comfortable inside then it is outside. And outside, it's 85. Soon, it will be 100. And you could stand a fork up in the humidity. It's ****ing soup here in August. For me it is controll the humidity. You want your wizzo button now, or later? Warm I enjoy. Warm and damp I don't. Then turn your AC down to 70, and enjoy. Kick your wife out too, as she is neither warm nor damp. |
Agreed, 70 is pushing it.

Cooling mode I keep my thermostat set on 70ºF day and nite and have a humitistat set to over ride the cooling and keep no more than 55% RH , where a 80% RH day is called a very dry day. Now some times I will go a little cooler at 68º at nite. Cooling Mode I can set my humitistat on 35% RH and the unit will never cut off and the house will go down to 57ºF or so and just never cut off. Heating Mode. 68ºF day time and off at nite. TURTLE |

What day and night temp and where are ya located please? We are just north of Toronto and use our programmable thermostat in the summer as follows: Mon-Fri: 1:30 AM 24C/75F 6:00 AM 23C/73F 8:30 AM 24C/75F 5:00 PM 23C/73F Sat: 1:30 AM 24C/75F 7:30 AM 23C/73F 10:30 AM 24C/75F 6:30 PM 23C/73F Sun: 2:00 AM 24C/75F 7:45 AM 23C/73F 11:15 AM 24C/75F 7:15 PM 23C/73F If we go out for the day on the weekends, we will manually set it a few degrees warmer. During heating season, the program is similar, but with at-home/awake settiings of 22C/72F and others at 19C/66F. -- Calvin Henry-Cotnam "Never ascribe to malice what can equally be explained by incompetence." - Napoleon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: if replying by email, remove "remove." and ".invalid" |
If I could have a setting called "snow" that's where I'd have it.

Winters we keep the heat at about 67F when we're home at night, 62F when we're not home during days, and summers when we run the AC, the temp is set at 76F. We like to appreciate our season's temperatures, within moderation. "Ashton Crusher" wrote in message .. .

What day and night temp and where are ya located please? Northern Illinois. 75 degrees. I work at home so I don't program different night and day temps. We prefer fresh air whenever possible, but this 100 degree weather has been nasty. Had a neighbor once who kept his house at 58 degrees. It was ridiculous. I wanted to lager some beer in there. :) |
I like the transitions that the seasons provide.
Walking inside from a 100F 997847937743% humidity to a 69 degree -892731498798324798% humidity is the ducks butt. As in winter, walking in from a 12 degree snow/sleet/salt/****ing idiot cant drive in winter people, to a nice, toasty 80 degree house is also the ducks butt. And I've modified my spending habits to be able to afford the heating and cooling, regardless of how fast the dials on the electric or gas meters spin. If you can't be comfortable in your own house - whats the point? |

I'm one of those who keeps the inside closer
to the outside than many. In the winter I usually set it about 65 to 68 when I'm home in the day and 63 or a few less at night, both will be higher if the humidity is very low and the humidifier isn't fixing that. In the summer the house stays cool most days if I open windows at night and close them before it gets much above 70. When I use the A/C it is usually set about 78 or a few higher. I will set it a few lower if the humidity is bad. I always find it uncomfortable to go from the cold outside to a place that is much over 70 or from the hot outside to a place that is colder than about 75. If possible I try have the windows open at least in the cool part of most summer nights and in the warm part of the winter days that are much above 65. Bob valen (at) trust-me (dot) com |
