Where do you have your A/C set?

[revsaxon]

AC drips thru the ceiling when it runs and makes me feel queazy, so im not running it. Property manager says he is going to fix it any day now.... So like 110 durring the day, and a chilled 85 at night?

Lots of fans though, both ceiling and floor.

I keep my air conditioning on at about 75. I keep having to turn it back up because the kids turn it down.

 

[itstheKman]

82 during the day with ceiling fans. At night I treat myself and bump it down to 80.

Well it's a pretty small house, and I live alone so it's actually not too bad.

Everyone needs to go out and spray out their condenser if they havent already done so. Shut it down, pull the top off and spray out from the inside, clean out the gunk and dirt and it will work better. I have been keeping a hose handy and wetting mine down in the afternoons when I get home to help it cool a little easier.

Yeah, I've become buddies with my HVAC guy and he had me do this earlier this summer, he said depending on where you live you may only need to do it once a year but with the open lots behind my house and construction across the street he recommended doing mine a few times per summer.

The wife threatens to beat me if I put it below 80.

Working from home today and the mail just came. Inside the mail box was a letter from Duke, introducing me to Power Manager.

Power Manager is a voluntary program that pays you for allowing Duke Energy to cycle off your air conditioner as electricity demand approaches peak levels. We'll simply install a small device near your outdoor AC unit. Then, on certain summer days, we'll send a signal to the devices, which will cycle off your air conditioning for a portion of each half hour.

The secret to all good comedy is timing.

Set @ 71-73 and it's like the energizer bunny but more expensive. It just keeps going and going and going if I don't close a few doors.

We just replace our upstairs AC on Thursday last week . Our old unite went out one week before. Because my wife get really bad Magrin's at night, if the tempture is above 70, we keep the upstairs at 68 and the downstairs at 72. Thanks for the tip on keeping water on the cooling condenser outside, I will try that during this heat wave.

 

[Brandon]

69 downstairs, 68 upstairs. Love having a central unit for upstairs and a separate for downstairs.

 

[04DarkShadowGT]

I keep it at 75, I would bump it up more but the upstairs would be too uncomfortable at night. But if its ever too hot, just go in the basement, nice and chilled.

 

[wrigleycub]

71-73 but, hasn't touched that mark in a day or two.

 

[Principal Skinr]

74 all the time.

 

[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.

It's pretty much a full time run at this point. Got up around 4 this morning to use the facilities and it was still running. At 6:30 it was off, but kicked back on around 8.

71

82°. One (the only) positive thing about such high temps out side is that the AC runs enough to get most of the humidity out of the house. If it were 82° outside, and the AC didn't run, it'd be humid as heck in here.

OK, I'm just making an excuse to be a cheapskate.

 

[9mmfan]

At 76 for me. That works as long as I don't hold this **** laptop.

You know your laptop is killing your swimmers, don't you?

Have a 14 yr old now; not sure if I want or need another now

I live in an apartment with a POS baseboard heater/AC. It's like the controls in a car. You have high low, and a dial that's half red half blue. I have it on low all the way to the right/blue.
