2024 - What's your AC Set At Poll?

[BookTenTiger]

76 in summer why?

Ww go to 18 Celsius whatever that is I. Yankee Doodle measurements.

AC costs $

For me, it’s usually the humidity that gets to me, not the temperature.

We pretty much only use a window AC unit in our bedroom to lower the sleeping temperature - and especially the humidity - when needed.

In dry weather, I can sleep okay at 78 or lower. In humid weather, I ask the AC for 70° or lower, but it rarely gets there.

(My preferred sleeping temperature is 50-63°, which is fairly easily achieved in Minnesota from September to May.)

That someone at ENWorld could start a thread about "AC" without even thinking people will obviously assume it's about Armor Class...

Our hours/month heat and AC usage. Heat is at 68 F/20 C and AC is at 78 F/25.5 C unless we're having lots of people over.

The house is a split level (two in back, one between them in front) and the temperature difference between the top and bottom floors gets to like 4 degrees if the system hasn't run for a while, so we have the fan in the system run 10 minutes in every hour if the cooling or heating didn't run in it. We really need new windows!

The July column on the right is only through this morning (the 7th). April and October are the sweet spots.

In the twin cities and bought a house back in 2020 after my divorce. No AC at all but a very cool basement where my office an TV are. The force air furnace is 20+ years at this point, so we’ll it goes I’ll add AC. Though, I’ve got a portable for sleeping and the last two years haven’t used it at all.

Part of it is having a very cool space, the other is being used to the ambient conditions. My trick is to take a very hot shower before bed so the air is cooler on my body.

As a for temps I keep my home at 66F in winter and if I had AC it would probably be 74F.

I salute you for bringing data to a world of off-the-cuff comments!

I think your second quote answers the first. Up here I think it's common to change what one wears at home based on the seasons. So for me it's shorts and t-shirt at home (and outside) in the summer, and long sleeves and long pants at home (add layers outside) in winter.




Why do you cool your house in the summer below what you warm it to in the winter? Based on what you had written in the other posts it sounded like you'd be uncomfortable at 22 - or was that a typo for 12?

We want to cool down.

Not sure what the room temperature is but room with hear pump get late afternoon sun.

Once it got vad day was somewhere in the 30s so we moved the mattress from the bed and slept on the floor in the lounge.

Currently 9 degrees Celsius mid winter don't have any heating on. Cat count? Have to go soon so get will be disappointed.

Wife put it up to 24 last night think she was cold.
