At what temperature do you set your air conditioning

1. I set mine to 81 or 82 during the day

and 79 at night.

2. 80, but I have a question-

is it more energy efficient to raise the temperature when you're not around or to keep it set at the same temp all the time? I don't mean to hijack the thread, but since we're on the topic...

4. I wish I had that answer too. I suspect a small change saves energy

maybe 5°

6. I usually turn it up to about 80 when I'm at work

then lowering it to around 75 when I get home. Sometimes a little lower for a short while if it's really hot out.

3. I set it at 76, but lower it if my dog is panting too much and its

way too hot outside for him.

5. Air Conditioning?

I open a window and turn on a fan.

[kittenpants]

7. yeah, but you're up north, eh?

:P

8. Down here in southern Arizona

that is not an option. Altho this helps -

9. Used to set it at 72

but with "peak oil" and the "Summer of 2000 Enron Blackouts" here in Northern California - I kicked it up to 80.

10. Air Conditioning? What Air Conditioning?

It's 51 degress here. Been dropping into the low 40's at night.
We've got the heat on.

11. We don't have air conditioning here.

And I don't know anyone, including my wealthiest friends, who does. Air conditioning is considered "unhealthy" in much of this part of Europe. Having grown up in a state with super-hot summers and extremely high humidity, I lovelovelove air conditioning, but I have to admit that I haven't had a stopped-up nose in about six years. :shrug:

12. -15, but I also keep the heater set to 115 so it evens out...
