For you southerners who are already feeling the heat with me, what temp do you keep your AC set to? Day/night

I have been keeping ours on 77 and I am HOT (and not the good kind LOL).

Right now I do not have the AC on. I am riding it out as long as possible. It is about 82 right now and super humid. We are in South Texas. I just try not to move around alot! I have the fan on, I wear tiny clothes lol, and keep drinking liquids. I am determined. But when I do have the AC on its around the same temp as you. We sleep with a fan on so we don't turn it down at night either.

We're in Texas, too. We keep our AC at 78. Sometimes I'll bump it down to 76 if I'm feeling too warm, but I don't do that too often.

We have it on 76 during the day with all the ceiling fans on and it goes down to 74 at 10 pm (all bedrooms are upstairs).

Another Texan here. I have my celling fans running all of the time and the a/c set at 79. I haven't really used it much this year yet. I have been opening the windows and letting fresh air in the house.

We've only turned ours on about twice so far this year and that was a few hours before we went to bed to make the house somewhat bearable for sleeping. Normally, we have it set around 81 during the day and about 79 at night. We usually have the ceiling fans going too.

We haven't put the air on, yet. Today was 75 and that's been the best it's got so far.

We are horrible, we LOVE to be cold. So we save in the winter, but the summer gets us. Right now our thermostat is on 74. During the day we allow it to get up to 79 when we aren't here (since we both work)
