What's your thermostat set to?

[sara76]

What temp do you keep your home this time of year during the day and night? If there were no energy costs would it be different?

[kimandross]

During the day and no one is home - 81
During the day and we're home - 78
Night - 76

We are both generally cold people, so I doubt it would be different with no energy costs.

[moonstone523]

Day - 78, when I get hot 76 ( I work from home).
Night - 75-76

[sara76]

Wow, so it seems 72 is pretty cold for normal peeps.
I'm 72 day, 76 night, 79 when no one is home.

[lauren9317]

72 would be freezing for me!
We do 78 when no one's home, 77-76 otherwise.

[sara76]

Aren't you guys HOT?? Lol

[sara76]

Oh wait, I'm backwards, 76 day, 72 night! Still. I like it cool I guess.
If there were no such thing as energy cost I would keep it 72 around the clock like when I was 9 months preggo.

I pretty much leave mine at 78. Occasionally it gets bumped up or down a degree, but we get cold easy. My brother keeps his air around 72 & I'm freezing at his house.

We keep ours at 75. We have gotten much better though. When we first moved here we kept it at 70. We were in college and then after college our apt was tiny so the costs weren't too bad.

75 during the day. 77 at night. Right now it's 86* in my house and I want to fucking kill someone. The AC repair guy is trying to get me a new motor. I haven't had AC in 24 hours and I'm one cranky woman.

[sara76]

Jennifer you are the one who made me think of this. I would be angry too, I do not like to be hot at home one but.

This exact same thing happened to us last weekend. The motor died. We noticed it Saturday night and luckily it was fixed by Sunday afternoon, although it got up to 88 at one point. Fun times.

80 during the day when no one is home.
77-78 when we are home, during the day and night. We get cold easily.

[sara76]

I should have asked what your electric runs also. I'm curious now, your houses are warmer than mine, are your bills lower? Last month was 207.

[scjb143]

Ours is 72-74 during the day and 70 at night. I hate being hot inside the house.

[scjb143]

Our electric is about $300/month. Last month it was $299.

[dvroxy]

78 degrees usually all day and night, but we put it up to 80 if we go anywhere since we have dogs. I tend to stay pretty comfortable, other than the past few nights when I get pretty hot...

[krystalskitsch]

78! We have a small place but our electric never tops $100. I also live in an area where our electricity is from Florida Power and Light which I heard has cheaper rates than back when we lived in Clearwater and had Progress Energy.

[etteyam]

78 degrees and our TECO bill is anywhere between $150-200.

[sara76]

I can't believe how many peeps are comfortable at 78. I'm holding steady at 75 today but it's not my fav. Sheesh. Is it because I'm from the Americanized version of Antarctica?

[jennifer8080]

Our bill is $200 - 250 a month.
