Summer.....​

Well I have a split foyer with a single system and I keep mine around 70-72 because the upstairs is always a lil warmer.

My house stays on 66! We like it cool. But even still being this hot outside the upstairs is still hot.

 

[Grave Robber]

I like to keep the house at 50 degrees

74 When we are at home.. 78 at night, it goes down to 74 about 1/2 hour before we get up, then goes up to 80 while we are at work... back to 74 1/2 hour before we get home.

Ditto

72 day 68 night

 

[Hessian]

Wife sets it at 75

I sneak by later and bump it to 77.


Winter: She sets it to 70...I sneak by later and drop it to 68.

I probably save like 100.00 all year...and when she catches me, ....well saving that hundred bucks doesn't pay for the 20 hours of bickering in the course of the year.

I keep it at 77. I'm too cheap to want to pay more on my electric bill!
Besides, I have a one story ranch type home with a basement. It's actually very comfortable and the ceiling fans help keep it cooler. The basement is always very cool no matter what the thermostat says, because it's completely sunk in the ground, it's not a walk out.
