what is your a/c set at?

[Modelworks]

70F with ceiling fan

 

[soulcougher73]

Mine is programmable but its set to 75 all the time.

 

[SlitheryDee]

95 while I'm at work from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., 72 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., 68 from 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., 72 from 2:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.

This should have been placed in a poll. Would have been more fun that way! Oh, what as the question again?

 

[crownjules]

I have a window unit with no digital temperature display. So I usually set the knob to 3-4 and it cools my room enough. I'd guess it's in the high 70s.

 

[meltdown75]

23.5 c

 

[ViviTheMage]

70F when I am home.

 

[daniel1113]

77F. If I set it any higher, the fans on my computer will adjust to their highest speed, and the noise is annoying.

 

[disappoint]

84

AC causes obesity. I'd like to leave it off but when others live with you you have to compromise.

Doesn't the human body use more calories staying warm than cooling off? I mean yeah if you sweat you might lose water weight but not dry weight.

 

[spidey07]

66 at night and morning
76 when I'm at work
70 when I get home, sometimes if it's really hot out I'll temporarily lower it to 68

How the fuck can you stand it being 80° inside your house?

 

[aldamon]

80 during the day and 82 late at night.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I've been keeping it at 75 lately. It's a bit warm, but, not too uncomfortable wearing shorts and a tshirt.
My basement is about 65, which is awesome.

My house is smallish, only around 950 square feet above ground (and another 950 in the basement), so it's never been more than about $175 for my electric bill ... and that's with several computers running 24/7 ...

 

[TwiceOver]

75. Any less and on really hot days it will just sit and run constantly and not get any lower.

 

[spacejamz]

74 when we're home, 80 when we're not.

BTW, anyone here get condensation on the outside of their AC ducts? I'm assuming that's normal? My AC ducts drip quite a bit in the HVAC/utility room.

google a/c pipe drip....if it is dripping more than normal, your drain pipes might be clogged...

 

[JulesMaximus]

Mine is set to OFF. Haven't had to use it yet this summer as we haven't had more than a couple days where the temps got into the 80s.

It is 71 degrees in here right now. Been down in the low 60s at night outside.

 

[dainthomas]

No AC. I choose not to live in a sweltering hell-hole.

 

[Gillbot]

73 in the day, 71-72 at night

 

[Drako]

80 during the day, off at night.

Frankly, if I wasn't married, I would not use it, but my wife insists.

 

[BassBomb]

House 24-24.5

Car 22 when I get in (roasting), 23 or 24 when its cooled down

 

[Kev]

60. lol

 

[Kev]

80 during the day, off at night.

Frankly, if I wasn't married, I would not use it, but my wife insists.

That's weird, usually the woman can't stand the cold

 

[olds]

70f

No I believe they are referring to the ducts themselves sweating. Uninsulated duct work can easily run at sub dewpoint temps on the outside. It will sweat like a cold glass of pop or a toilet tank with a cold (well water) supply that does not have a tempering valve.

Sweating ducts aren't usually a problem in un-finished space but if they sweat above a plasterboard ceiling, for example; the result can be mold or water seep damage.
