At What Temp Do You Set Your AC?

[davey7]

My parents have a Penguino which they seem to like.

When did gas central ac fade out? My best friend looked at a house which still had it a couple of years ago. We have fairly cheap gas in our area, so it might have been economical, if hard to repair.

Mine is always

set to "wicked cool"!

That way there is no dispute between me and the dog!

I'm about 3 weeks late to this thread... but here goes..

 

 

Before I moved my dad up into the house (he was in his own room downstairs), I set the programmable T-stat (A/C) for 80, daytime (while at work), 78 after getting home and 75 at night so I can sleep.   If the outside temp is in the high 80's - low 90's range, the temp inside the house is just reaching 80 about or just after the time I get home from work.   Heat in the winter I would set it for 58 (basically off) while at work and 65 while home.

 

If I wasn't trying to keep the cooling costs down I'd probably keep the A/C set for 70-72 while I'm home and 68 or so at night.

 

But now with dad in the house all day, when the A/C is on, it's at 78 daytime / 75 night.   During the winter I keep it at 69 degrees during the day (I'm sure dad would prefer 75) and 60 at night.
