Entergy recommends setting your thermostat to 78° this summer to save money

“During this time of year, that A/C unit is basically costing you over half of your electricity bill,” said Sandra Diggs-Miller, Vice Pres. of Customer Service for Entergy New Orleans. “That’s before you get to the appliances, and the lights, and all the other things attached to it.”
She said increased fuel costs have led to higher bills.
“The cost of natural gas has increased exponentially since February,” said Diggs-Miller. “I want customers to know that the fuel charge fluctuates based on personal usage.”
She recommends people set their thermostat at 78 degrees to save money.
“Any degree below (78) can actually raise your bill as much as 3%. So if you’re cranking your A/C down to 72 degrees, you’ve already increased your electricity bill by 18% that month,” Diggs-Miller said.

When they pay my 'letric bill, they can set my thermostat.
ETA: 73 during the day, 70-71 at night.

So I only have to pay a 12% premium to set it at 74 during the day and be perfectly comfortable? Easily worth it.
Still going on 66 at night.

So much 'what' in this...
That statement just makes no sense.
No, no it hasn't.

It's 74 at our office (AC already struggling to go lower), and I think I'm breaking a sweat.
Posted on 6/9/23 at 1:26 pm to SPEEDY
I’ve been running 74. It’s not terrible at all. Wouldn’t do 78 though.

Maybe update the grid so they can take the load.

I don't like super cold except at night. I keep one side of the house that we don't use a lot on 75 and the other on 73. It's perfect.
