What do the SW floridians usually set their thermostats to at this time of year?
What would be too hot? too cold?

For whatever reason during the day I don't mind heat. I usually will keep the thermostat at 78 it feels cooler when you come from outside and is comfortable if you're not trying to do an indoor project. At night I can not sleep unless it is below 73 degrees. I usually set for 69 at night I find 68 just a tad too cold. I think fat index is going to have a lot to do with it. My mother ( hope she doesn't read) is overweight by about 45lbs she can't stand the heat once April rolls around she's heading north. My father who is ideal body weight can stay all summer and love it with just the windows open and AC on the hottest days.

when the house is left vacant I usually keep it at 85 degrees and if it is going to be more than a couple weeks I put these moisture absorber things in all the closets.
