[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not much of an A/C user. For those of you who keep the summer thermostat really low, like around 70, what temp do you keep it at in the winter? Way lower, to compensate for the much warmer clothes you're presumably wearing?

I feel like some places are like 72 in the winter and 68 in the summer. This makes me miserable! [/quote]

I like it cool, especially at night (I have a terrible time sleeping if I'm hot and sweaty, despite growing up without AC. Even then I couldn't do it!). We don't have central air/heat, so its hard to say exactly what the temp is. Our window air conditioners are set fairly low (70 or so) unless we're not home or not in the room. During the day we set the bedrooms higher (and at night the living room area is higher), and when we leave we turn them up or off. We don't have ceiling fans, I'm sure those would help a lot.

However, we didn't start running the AC until yesterday afternoon. We didn't feel as though we needed it since overnight it has remained cool. Now that its so hot and humid, we have it running.

In the winter we have it set on 65 or so, lower when we're not home. Again, not central heat, we have baseboard heaters. [/quote]
