Well we usually have it set to 78 but my mom always sets it to 80 because she's "cold". :roll: My dorm room doesn't allow us to change the temperature so it usually around 72. it's freezing.

78 degree here. I saw some of the posters set their temperatures down to the lows 70s or lower. How much was your electric bill? My bill for the last month was about $120.

no AC, even though it's like 85F in my room... :( would be nice but I've seen worse, at least it's not humid like the east coast... had to suffer 4 summers there without AC and a fan just doesn't cut it in that kind of humidity.

it's the humidity that kills me. our townhome is at 77/78. Installing ceiling fans where i can, and maybe pushing that to 79. that one degree actually makes a pretty significant difference. But yeah, our power bills are killing us :(

70 to 72 all the time.

I would probably set it lower if everyone else didn't complain about it being to cold.

72°F but mostly for the humidity control. Any higher and it gets hot quick inside.

No A/C at home, but in my office at work it's set to 23C permanently. The server room is set to 19C permanently
