So, what's the temp of your air conditioner set at today???

[a kennedy]

Southeastern MN gonna be warm and muggy today. Haven’t turned on the AC yet, but today??? I just might have to turn it on. Fingers crossed it’ll work, I know, should have had it checked, husband always did that, he’s gone now, so I gotta start learning all this stuff.

1. 75 on ours here in the Low Country of South Carolina.

The ceiling fan is on too. It’s 85° right now at 10 AM and going up to 92 for a high. It’s really humid too.

You’ll figure things out as you go .

[radical noodle]

2. We're in Florida

Keep A/C at 77 all the time.

[Native]

6. ditto to both

[roomtomove]

9. florida as well

I try to set it at 75-76, but my wife always turns it down to 74, which is actually cold for me. My thermostat includes a humidistat that governs the temperature/cooling when the humidity is above a set point. I can get around the wifey issue because the stat is connected to the internet and I can change the settings remotely, which wifey is not aware that I can do that. Drives her crazy when she finds out the settings change even when I am not home. lol...........

[LuckyCharms]

3. 70 degrees, with 3 ceiling fans running counter-clockwise. n/t

[OAITW r.2.0]

27. You'd save 30 % on your power bill

if you rewired the fan stators. Reverse Polarity. Just saying.

[Polly Hennessey]

4. 75 here in Northern California. It will be 91 today but temps will drop back to 80s and 70s in a couple of days.

We have low humidity.

[AllaN01Bear]

29. ""

[Omnipresent]

5. 78 when not at home, 72 for nighttime sleeping.

[bamagal62]

7. Mine stays on 71

regardless of the temp outside! 64 and foggy here in NYC. We have a heat wave starting on Thursday. Not looking forward to it.

[WhiteTara]

8. I keep ours set at 77

I woke up early early this morning and was really hot, so I turned it down to 74, but keep it in the high 70s.

I'm sorry about your loss. My sister is going through the same thing as you. Her husband did all things like that, and she is having to learn how to do it all. I often moan bout having to do all these things in my life, but I guess it is good prep for me when it comes to the day my beloved is no longer with me.

10. I'm in SW Florida.

But I grew up in Texas. We didn’t have air-conditioning until I was about 16. I lived in Dallas for thirty years, and in Dallas if it is 105° at noon it is still 90° at midnight. In this part of Florida the hottest months of June to October have almost daily rains about 2-4 PM. Most days it may hit the mid 90's for a couple of hours but the rains drop the temperature to the 70's. I don't use the air-conditioning, just fans. I find it very comfortable, even a bit cool around 5-8 AM.

[RoadRunner]

11. No air conditioner in my house

Not necessary where I live.

[Wingus Dingus]

12. 74 daytime, 72 night.

[FirstLight]

13. Currently 41 here at 6500'

It's only going to get up to 75 today!

Many places here in Tahoe don't even have AC, because it gets so cold at night in the Summers it balances things out pretty well. That we're supposed to have a hot day or two coming up Friday Saturday I think but hot for us is 85 with low humidity! The sun is very strong here though because the atmosphere is so thin, so you got to watch it cuz it gets hot in the Sun for sure!

Edit to add.. im sorry for the loss of your hubby. Hope you can start feeling more independent with all those details... 🥺🫂

[CanonRay]

14. We don't own one

Hi from the Oregon coast.

[onethatcares]

15. west central coastal Florida here

81 degrees all day, all night. Wife gets colder if we set it any lower and I get hot if we go higher. She's in remission so I bow to her.

Ceiling fans work all day/all night too.

[Squeaky41]

16. Sierra Fothills East of Sacramento

A/C left at 82 all day. Comes on about noon.

Just had contract annual tune up. Filters changed. Large outside fan bearing failing. Hope holds until fall.

Furnace set at 68 in cool season.

[LogDog75]

17. Haven't had an air conditioner since 2004

I have no need for an air conditioner. Temperature in the summer usually in the mid- to high 70s with about two or three weeks in August when it gets in the low 80s. All I need are fans to cool my home.

[jmowreader]

18. I've never felt the need for AC in my house

I just open some windows and turn on my ceiling fans.

[beaglelover]

19. It's 11:41 a.m. and 105 degrees. Forecast is 111 degrees later this afternoon. Our A/C has been set to 78 degrees for

over a month now. Live in Rancho Mirage, CA.

[beemerphill]

20. The numbers on the Thermostat may or may not be accurate.

What we do is wait for a warm day, turn on the AC, and adjust the thermostat until it is comfortable in the house. This is not what the "experts" recommend. It does seem to work for us. We don't worry about what the number is.

[IcyPeas]

21. 76 but my apt is 78 at the moment. The ac has a hard time competing with the temp.

[Morbius]

22. AC at home doesn't work.

We've been here 30 years. You learn to live with it.

I recently had my car repaired. Leak in the coolant system. It was at a Firestone far from home. They got the job done but somehow reset the thermometer to Celsius. So the air conditioner in my car is set to 18.5!

[mwmisses4289]

23. 74-76F. Higher than that is way too warm for us.

Also ceiling fans. Ceiling fans seem to help the ac not work as hard to help the house stay cool.

[Angleae]

24. What is this "air conditioner" you speak of?

[electric_blue68]

25. Usually between 76 - 78 in the last 2 years, and this year so far.

I think when we NYC gets a heat wave they Con Ed asks people to set at 78°F. I'm OK w that.
And we have a nasty HW - 97° towards this Sunday - Tues? So far predicted. Ugh. Must get most of my out of nabe errands done or postponed. 😑

This past week we've had 66° - 70° daytime so I haven't had a/c on. The fan, or open windows.

[OAITW r.2.0]

26. NADA - Don't need one. 800 ASL and the breeze keeps the air moving.

[AllaN01Bear]

28. 73 degrees f. mainly run it in the afternoon. have windows open for the night.

humidity @ tic toc base is 34 %. outside temp right now iis a balmy 72 degrees f.

[ret5hd]

30. what is this "air conditioner" of which you speak?

does it instill lotion to the air? moisturizer?

[claudette]

31. Out here

in western NY there hasn’t been a need for AC yet. Even in the 90’s later in the summer it’s not so humid. We spend a lot more in keeping warm in cold weather than keeping cool in the
shorr summer. The AC is set for 72

[synni]

32. It's been in the 90's here, but I haven't turned mine on yet

I may have to turn it on this weekend, when it hits 100.

However, I'm trying to use it as little as possible, to save on electricity. I'm using strategically placed fans, and I've actually been more comfortable with them than with the AC on.

However, once the air gets close to body temperature, fans become pretty much ineffective....

[purple_haze]

33. 70 day, 67 night

[Emile]

34. Set at 78.

[peggysue2]

35. We're in DE

The summer heat only started within the last couple days. I have the AC set at 73 degrees, mostly for the humidity and pollen relief. I have wicked seasonal allergies.

Push it up to 75 at night.

[Ptah]

36. I set mine as on.

Here in the desert, a 'swamp box' is a common means of cooling the air.

Mine is either on or off.

Today, the outside temp is 112 F.

Inside the temp is 92 F.

Early in the morning, inside temp will be 78 F.

[Luciferous]

37. 70 for daytime, 68 for nights

[Hassler]

38. Off. Our high for the first day of summer is 58

[Grim Chieftain]

39. We're in a heat advisory here in the Midwest

The a/c is 73 downstairs and about 72-74 upstairs where the TV room and bedrooms are. We have several fans to help out, too. Lord I hate the heat.
