I cannot seem to find a temp I'm comfortable with- I'm either too hot or too cold! It doesn't help that we don't have a digital thermometer- it's a sliding scale so I never truly know what it's set to.
What's your ideal AC temp?
-
68F!
DH gets hot easily so its a perfect temp for us!
-
80
-
I'd love it to stay at 70 but our power bill wouldn't like it. So, it stays at 75.
-
I like it around 73 or 74.
-
@sunny: same! 73 on super hot days and 74 on normal summer days. I like 74 for sleeping
-
74
-
We keep ours around 78 in the summer.
-
74 during the day and 72 at night. I actually sleep better when it's closer to 70, but I can't stand my face being cold.
I'm convinced that DH would by happy with it set to 40
-
I think id really like 76. Right now it's 82 or 84 during the day (depending on how much the kiddos and I are home) and 78 at night.
-
77
-
@autumnlove: I can't tell if you're kidding.
Ours is usually 69. I admit, Ido get chilly, but I LIKE to be in socks and leggings at home. I'd rather be a bit chilly than hot and agitated. LO runs hot, so this works for us.
-
I like 72, DH likes about 74. Our AC has been acting weird lately so it's been at like 76-78 which makes me want to rip my skin off.
-
75. At night, 70. I am a hot sleeper.
-
77 during the day and 74 at night. My bed is really close to the ac vent so it feels really cold at 74!
-
74
-
67 or 68 would be awesome but I can't imagine paying the bill for that. It is set to 73 during the day and 70 at night this year, it's been a cool summer though so that still doesn't have it running often and it helps keep the humidity out of the air.
-
Wow - you guys must have huge electric bills!
We keep it at 78 - its cool w/o being cold. When it gets really hot I prefer 76 though.
-
We keep it at 76 in the summer but we have fans running upstairs in the bedrooms at nap/nights to keep it cooler for sleeping.
-
I just need it to be cooler inside than outside. Right now, it's mostly set to 80, it's not super hot out, so there's no need to go lower, but for when it's humid 78.
-
73. Occasionally I bump it down to 72 when I'm running extra hot due to my crazy preggo hormones. Our electric bill isn't so great, but the house isn't that bad and I hate being hot.
-
76+ (or off) during the day, 72 at night.
-
72-74. I get hot really easily, even before I got pregnant.
The worst part is that our upstairs is always about 10° warmer than our downstairs. When we sleep in the summer, we have the ceiling fan on in our bedroom and a stand fan at the foot of our bed.
-
72 usually but our new central air isn't working correctly so we have to bump it down to 71 at times. I try to put it on 74 if we are leaving the house for a while but I hardly remember.
-
DH likes to joke we're polar bears, it is usually at 68 during the day and 67 at night (ceiling fan on low as well for us and DS).
-
I keep it 77 for the kittens while I'm at work, then I either turn it just to fan & open the windows or put it to 75 if it's still hot out.
-
76 is usually perfect for us. I think it must depend on the outside temperature- those with the thermostat at 68 surely don't live in the south where it is 98• out right? That would cost a fortune (not to mention the environmental impact!)
-
Usually 78 to 79 degrees for us.
-
Oh my gosh. My husband would seriously have a stroke if our AC was over 75!
It's kept at 71, always. I would prefer 72, or 73. He would prefer 69..so 71 is a compromise.
-
It used to be 78-80 during the day because I hate the feeling of air conditioning, but post-pregnancy I am still hot all the time. It's 73-74 now, but we live in a small apartment so our electric bill hasn't even taken a hit. We're actually paying the same/sometimes a little less to keep the place cool all the time versus when I had it warm during the day and ran the air at night.
-
76-78
-
72 I think!! That's what we keep the car ac at, and the kids' window ac units.
-
Well, being pregnant in the summer, I'd love to hang out in the freezer on hot days. But I set the AC to 73 or so when I really need it. Otherwise, I open windows and hope it's enough while eating a popsicle or ice.
-
@Mrs.Someone:
what? How? At the beginning of the summer out AC wasn't up and running. We had a couple days of hot spells and and literally woke up in the middle of the night crying because I was so hot. DH pulled 3 12 hour days after that to get the AC running. We keep it at 72-74 now depending on time of day. It's on a schedule.
-
@CupQuakeWalk: Totally serious!
-
@locavore_mama: We just bought a portable unit for our living room, so setup was pretty quick and easy
Don't REALLY need it in the PNW, but we had about 2 weeks of 80-90 degree days and I was dying. Also, our bedroom is in a coldish basement, so we were sleeping with the windows open and it was OK with the night breeze.
-
For me, 74-75 these days have been perfect. DH likes a little cooler, 72-73.
-
@wonderstruck: same! Pregnancy makes me run so warm! We have it at 74 during the day and I turn it to 72 at night so I can sleep.

73
