[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1800 sq ft Colonial (plus finished basement) built in 1939. Pretty old house and not too efficient.

Keep thermostat at 77 during day (I work from home), 78-79 overnight.

Electric was $84 for July.

I think a lot of you keep your houses pretty cold! Are you really uncomfortable at higher temperatures, or do you just set it at 72 or whatever because that's sort of the "norm"? PP who sets it to 68 at night, why don't you dual-zone or get a window unit so you're not wasting so much electricity cooling your whole house?

Your temps will be just too warm for me.  I think I could do 73-74 at night but DW like it as 71.     We have dual zone and the night temps run the upstairs rooms only. the main level and basement are set for 75 at night and really don't come on since the upstairs cool air naturally sinks down to the main level.[/quote]

What are you and DW wearing inside? I guess my frame of reference is that one of my friends keeps his house very cool, but is always dressed in jeans and a t-shirt plus a dress shirt inside. Of course you need it cooler if you're wearing layers in summer :)[/quote]
