Where do you have your A/C set?

[OneBadV8]

I was just curious about what temps INGO has their homes set to during these hot temps. I've always kept mine high, but 78 with ceiling fans is actually pretty comfortable

Downstairs (baby's room) is kept cooler at 73. Upstairs is set to 77 until evening, and then 73 for the night.

Came home last night to a broken A/C unit.
















I then slept naked.

I think the question should be...Is your air conditioning keeping up this week.

 

[lovemachine]

67 degrees baby!!!

 

[hooky]

Programmable stat that varies according to time of day between 74 and 78. Ceiling fans are always on and a few floor fans when needed.

I have a digital & it's set at 76*

 

[Jake46184]

77 at 6am, 72 at 6pm, 69 at 11pm.

Geo-thermal unit set to hold steady at 72. Very comfortable in the house.

 

[ahampton2k]

78 during the day, 74ish in the evening

 

[SSGSAD]

Usually set between 74-77, and it has been running 24 hrs., a day, almost straight, for the past 2 weeks .....

I don't know, so I didn't vote.
Daddy's in charge of that, so he stays happy.

Ours is set at 76 but we have a unique thermo situation. I live in a tri-level and the thermostat is on the ground level. It "usually" stays around the programmed temp. The partial below-grade level runs much cooler, usually around 68-70. But the upstairs can push 85 in the afternoon/early evening, probably even warmer these days.

My husband said the thermostat was reading 87 actual temp this afternoon. And it still felt like an icebox when we came in from outside. I'd actually up the setting to 78 to save some money, but the upstairs (where the bedrooms are) would be unbearable.

65 all day every day and I run fans. they say the perfect temp for the human body to be in is 72 if your wearing no clothes.

I'm trying to convince my wife of this! Thanks Tyler!!

Same here . When it is running i like to keep it at 70.

 

[DaKruiser]

Around 70, with fans running.

If you maintain 76-78 degrees on a 100 degree day, you have almost done the impossible. Keeping a thermostat at 68 when it is 100 will never cycle, do you also run water on the condensor to keep from overheating the unit? With a slow stream aimed at the side of my condensor, my unit ran nonstop yesterday. Outdoor was 101, indoor was 79, with ceiling fans running. It finally cycled at 10:00pm. Shut off the water at 7:00 when the sun started to set. Also made a shade from the west sun out of pvc pipe and a tarp. I am a retired hvac guy trying to keep it running for a few more weeks of summer.

 

[blaster2]

I am at 74 during the day and 72 at night. I would go cooler but I can't afford it.

 

[IndySSD]

mine is set at 67 which keeps the place around 68-69.

It's set this low because my wife has a nerve disorder that is impacted by heat... she literally has to stay inside all day other than to maybe grab the mail in this weather or her lower legs swell and she gets real bad hives....

Even in this weather I wear long pants, thick socks and a hoodie or long sleeved shirt while in my house... I generally wear the same outside too though... Like Jeremy said... my arthritis likes this weather....
