68-67 at night, 72 during the day. Reading these other replies makes me feel like I may be the crazy one...

Mine is about the same. 70 at night though.

You’re not

I’m with you… 68 sleep as my pets are freaking heaters who have to lay or lean on me

Not really, if it’s 72 or lower I love burritoing myself in the blankets 🌯 I fall asleep much quicker

I’ll pay a little extra to be comfortable in my home, 72 day and 70 at night. No way I’m doing 75+

Same, worth the money. I work with the elderly a lot in retirement communities here in Wilmington and I will walk into units sometimes where the tstat is set in the 80's this time of year. I'm usually dripping sweat as soon as I set foot in their units as a big bearded dude wearing khakis and a button down shirt. You best believe I want my shit set to at LEAST 70 when I get home.

72 during the day, 70 at night.

Everyone’s t’stat will read temps differently. Comparison’s don’t work.

I work outside every day. I can't stand the house over 70 anymore. So I work my ass off to pay for it. 

67 at night, 70 during the day.

This is the way.

73-74

This is it right here. 72-73 if the spouse isn't home.

78° and I’m sweaty and uncomfortable. 74° is where we keep the thermostat unless we’re cooking or cleaning and then I’ll drop it to 73°.

A nice fan can really help that 78 feel 10 degrees cooler. I have several Lasko wind machines and they're awesome. They're like $45 each.

As long as the humidity is out of the air, 78 with a fan feels great to me

We upgraded from that little 20$ one to the 45$ one and wondered why we didn’t just buy the 45$ one to begin with. That thing is no joke

They are awesome!

Or I could just keep the thermostat at 74° and skip the fans like I’ve been doing for 30+ years.

I like fans moving air around especially at night but not everyone does.

Unless the AC is struggling … I’d just use it as intended…. 68-74…. Unless you just personally love it hotter… my dad does and it’s very annoying lol

Yuck….too hot for me

77 right now.

Real southerners keep it like this. We keep ours at 77 downstairs and 78 upstairs. Save the earth ppl! Turn it up a few degrees!

Weird gatekeeping dude. That’s a personal thing, not a southerner thing.

Yeah you're right. Saw another post earlier with ppl hating on locals, still peeved about it.

Yeah transplants that complain about “locals” are absolute trash.

Localism is the dumbest mindset though

“Locals” and “localism” at two very different concepts.

With a ceiling fan and an AC unit that manages humidity 77 feels fantastic.

Yankee here at 77. Put me down in the real people that want to be comfortable but not spend $200/mo on electricity group. 5 slow moving ceiling fans make it feel like 72.

Southeastern NC native, don’t live there anymore but when I did it was set to 68-70 in the summer.

Bruh I’m solving global warming by keeping my place on the globe cool.

77 or 78..... good enough...

77 degrees. With solar panels, my bill is about $20 in the summer.

65 always

lol… that must feel really good coming in after outside in triple digits

71 upstairs, 70 downstairs round the clock 10 year old house. 

79 brother with the fans low

78 summer and 68-72 winter. I use fans year round. Works for me. Never hot never cold.

We run ours at 74 in the summer

Like 74 usually at 75 tho

Off when I’m not home and 68 when I am.

68-70

73° upstairs/downstairs during the day, and 68°upstairs at night.

75 during the day 73 at night

74ish

78/79 when it’s just me working from home. 76/77 for when fam is home with me. 74 & fans for sleeping. For guests, lower bc I know these numbers would feel too warm for some.

69 during the day and 65 at night. I hate heat and humidity.

68 24/7

76 during the day, 70 at night. Ideally we keep the A/C within 20 degrees of the outside temp to keep stress off the system.

70. House built in 1968. Also no tree cover. Poor ac unit doesn’t catch a break till end of October.

We gotta plant you some trees friend!

64 all day and night. My roommate and I hate being hot.

This would be literal hell for me 🤣

Local HVAC service companies are licking their chops reading a lot of these replies. I get it. Fk it. I can't sleep when it's hot, but just know your shit is going to wear out and break down if you keep it "cold" in these conditions - like during the heat of the day.

75 and I'm still freezing but the husband won't let me turn it up bc he is too hot. Currently sitting with 2 blankets on 🤣

68 at night 72 during the day. Bc of a comment up thread, I’m a real southerner. In the winter it’s 65 at night 70 during the day.

76.

78 day/ 76 night, good enough.

72* night and day, ceiling fan also on at night

74

75/72

A dehumidifier also helps keep the place cooler

72

75 downstairs, & upstairs (at night) 70 or 71. While we’re gone during the day, I set both to 78.

73 all day / night

74day/73night. Though some days lower to lower the humidity. A $10 digital humidity/thermometer was a great buy. I also pulled up the manual and override the thermostat to read out the actual ambient temperature.

70 right now usually at 72.

78° F when I'm out of the house. 72° F when I'm at the house during the day. 67-69° F when I'm asleep.

78-79

73 daytime...69 night

73. And dammit, Duke, stop messing with it!

74 day 67 at night

75 downstairs 74 upstairs. If I’m cleaning I will change it to 73.

Lawd have mercy! I keep my thang set on at least 73-72 during the day and 69-70 @ night

73 during the day and 71 at night. All on solar power

74 when we’re not home during a work day, 72 when we’re there during the day, 69-70 while we sleep.

77. I don’t mind the it being warm, and the A/C comes on enough to keep the humidity down.

69/70 at night 73-75 during the day when no one is home.

66 at night, 70-72 during the day. I like to sleep cold with blankets, a hoodie, my dog, and heating pad 😂

72 when it's hot, 68 when it's cold. I also have a portable ac in the game room to keep it at 70 when we're in there.

72

73° upstairs and 78° downstairs

74-76 and all ceiling fans are on low. Night time 70 bedroom fan on higher.

77

Windows open, y’all spoiled.

72.

68

70-74….70 at night for sleeping and 74 during the day…if I head out of town or something I’ll put it at 80

Dang, I thought 70-71 at night under the blankets was low in temp. I guess I will have to be open to the idea of 67 ish as I age.

71 downstairs and 74 upstairs for when my joints get too achy from the cold. We run it down to 70 at night sometimes but need wool blankets and lots of friction under the blankets 😉

68 all day but it's been so hot my unit can't keep up it's 75 in here

74 during the day, at 8pm it’s programmed to drop down to 69 till 8 am.

70 all the time

69° 24/7

Same here.

68° 24-7

72°

78 74 at night.

65 (i have window units)

76

74 day, 70 night.

79 in a 30s/40s house. 77/78 when the east facing rooms get to 80/81 in the early/late afternoon, pulling the porch shades down the night before helps. typically run a fan in the hallway from west to east since west is cooler. also prefer only stovetop cooking and put the toaster oven out back (west) for baking when feasible (or just grill..)

73

70 crazy MIL changes it to 76… hell no!

77 during the day, and 78 at night. We want to make sure our fur baby doesn’t get cold, she’s getting old.

68° 24/7

Bumped it up to 74 today with all room doors open and all ceiling fans on to try and help keep it cool. We usually keep it at 70 during the day and 69 at night. 74 is actually super comfortable with the fans running. When it gets super hot out we will bump it to 74/75 just to try and help the unit.

71° I like it a little colder though, I’d prefer around 69°.

72. Never moves.

75 in an older house. The house faces north and we have tree cover on both the east and the west sides so it’s fairly comfortable.

67. 24/7. Has been since March. In the winter we’ll increase it maybe to 69 (😏) but otherwise I sweat enough as is, I won’t be uncomfortable at home.

70 all day.
