(set at)
We just saw a TV add with David Suzuki.
He was saying that if everyone in Ontario Canada
raised thier home temperature one degree,it would be enough
to generate power for 38,000 homes every year.
That got us talking about what the average would be
when its really hot outside.We have ours set @ 75 degrees.
How cool do you like it?

73 here in the deep south...although the room temp is around 75 in the daytime. Average monthly electric bill is 375 (all electric).

Set at 75 degrees......last bill was $185.00. We've had a cooler than normal summer (thank goodness) and the bill is usually around $250 this time of year.

I like to set mine at 76 but the Lady of the house likes prefers 74. I like the AC to reduce the humidty.

 

[tourists24]

Mine is set at either 70 or 72 if am at home (75 if away)... I like it cool in the house... expensive too

I checked my electric bill for the past 2 months and was pleasantly surprised that I'm getting off cheap here in Pa. I'm paying in the mid $60.00 range, but there is a cap on the rates that is mandated by the PUC. We do use natural gas for cooking, heat, hot water & clothes drying and that's supposed to be going up 33% later this year. I figure I will be paying a little over $200.00 for electric & gas a month before long.

When you turn the darn a/c on, it's automatically set at 68. If I think of it, I turn it to 72.
Been a weird summer here, it's rained at least briefly almost every day. Like passing showers, but EVERY day.

72. With an electric bill of $43.60 i cannot complain.

 

[browndevil]

Just paid my PGE bill(Pacific Gas & Electric) $73.74 I am grateful we have had a cooler than normal summer otherwise it would be around $150.00 this time of year

No AC. It's permanent sweat shirt weather here. When it gets above 72 we are crying for AC and fans. PG&E bill is about $200 a month.

Hmm kind of sounds like Daly City, San Bruno & Pacifica weather

I'm hear fog horns all the time! When it gets foggy on the coast, we know it is hotter than hell inland.

I am sure there is a 30 degree temp difference where we deliver dailyHey good luck this week if I'm not mistaken you will be returning to work

I keep my A/C at 68. When its 95 degrees and humid outside and I have been busting my butt in a UPS truck for 10 hrs, I want to walk into my house and see my breath fog up. I want to piss thru an inch of ice floating in my toilet. I want it COLD. As far as the electric bill goes...I dont know and I dont care either, my wife handles the bills. When we bought this house we spent $10K on a super-energy efficient system. And I heat during the winter with wood that I cut, split and stack myself, so we save so much $$ on our gas bill that I dont feel guilty at all about the extra electric we use to stay cool in the summer.
