[quote=Anonymous]Ours is usually around 76 during the day, 73 at night. In part, we use it as a whole-house dehumidifier. But as PP said, it's funny that I can hang around the house in shorts and tank top in the summer, with the thermostat at 76, and be tempted to bump it down to 75. And in the winter, I'm in sweats or wool sweaters, under a down throw blanket, with a hot cup of tea, and wanting to bump it UP to 75. (Winter thermostat is usually 70 during waking hours, colder at night.) My dad tells me that it was common knowledge that violent crime surged on the hottest and muggiest nights of the summer. Tempers flared and people got stabbed. He is quite sure that murder rates have dropped due to the prevalence of AC. If he's right, that's a good argument for "necessity". [/quote]
