Energy Star thermostat settings:

Let the record show I/DBros will be using these when our twelve year missing tit f*cking magically
regrows itself, which even faggit Johnny Mathis knows is the twelfth of never:

I don’t care if people call me an A/C Nazi. No way I’m going to sleep in my house with the temp set for 82 degrees.

69 degrees for sleep
74 when I’m not home to conserve energy

70 when I sleep. 74 when not home. If we leave town, we set to 78.

Nobody here has air conditioning. We don’t need it.


Let’s not talk about winter, though....

Your posts have a sweet spot. Just before you get too drunk to hit the keys correctly they are the best.

Turn that AC to meat locker!!! Your individual contributions to global cooling global warming climate change don't matter at all. Only the aggregate matters. If you don't believe me, ask @07pilt.

Are we a spoiled nation or what?

It's no wonder it's getting harder and harder to find Americans that will work outside in the heat.

I work (engineer) inside in the heat, as in, not air conditioned. Around hot welding robots where you cannot have fans blowing because it'll blow off the shielding gas. Around metal machining equipment where the coolant mist puts tons of humidity in the air. But I am acclimated to it. And the pay is unbelievable. 3 years and 10 months more, if I live, then I am on easy street.

75 all the time, unless we leave for an extended time.

It's called working hard to pay for that luxury. What is so wrong about that?

I set my thermostat at 77 and run the ceiling fans. I'm quite comfortable sometimes having to put on extra clothes. It's never adjusted once I turn it on in spring/summer. I replaced my a/c unit 3 years ago and it's clearly more efficient, cooler and much cheaper to operate. Electric bills cut by more than 50% over the old unit.

You guys keep it cold. I would freeze. 74 at night for me. 75 or 76 during the day, wearing shorts and a t-shirt usually.

My wife has MS and heat is really bad for her. I have a ton of insulation, new windows, 4 turbine vents for the attic, a super efficient new A/C system, and some other insulating details.

I keep the AC at 68/69, it makes a difference for her but I do everything I can to be efficient as possible.

The older I get the less inclined I am to work in the heat, that is by design though. Spent all the time needed working outdoors to know that unless its something that's enjoyable, forget it (OSU football, yard work and backpacking). The reason its harder and harder to find people to work outside is because for many the government has made it to easy to simply not work. Working in Saudi at 122F convinced me that the trajectory was on needed to be re-directed.

We are at 71-72 at night and 76 in the day. When it starts to cool off (50's & 60's in the morning we'll open the windows and put fans in the windows to suck cooler air into the house then will button everything up in the morning and keep the house fairly cool most, if not all the day. Zero chance we would ever try to sleep with the AC at 82 and only a freakin moron would suggest doing so.

76 all the time is fine for my house in the summer; comfortable upstairs and near meat locker in the basement. 72 in the winter most of the time
