I searched this question and nothing came up, so...I am just wondering. Ok, it is 106 here right now and my AC is set at 83. Feeling a bit warm. Have not gotten a full months electric bill running the air yet and I am a bit worried...
When I control the thermostat,
I do not like A/C to come on before 80 F.
Occaisionally I might feel sticky,
but I'd much rather turn on a fan or change into something more breatheable,
that to feel the artificial chill on my face, hands and feet.
Actually, a cold drink of water is usually all I need to refresh myself if it's 79 F and say 65% humidity inside.
(caused by an outdoor dewpoint of 68-70 F?)
My thermostat is set on 78. We actually haven't had to use it several days this season. I do like to turn it off at night and I think we've only left it run ONE night so far this year. But I often don't have the high dewpoints that many areas have.

Mine is set to 76. I'd like to have it about 80, but I just can't be comfortable at that temperature. Makes it very difficult to sleep. In the winter I keep it around 60-65.
