I have mine programmed through the week 8am-3pm sits at 75. 3pm-8am sits at 71. I also keep fans going. I find that circulating air/pressure helps a ton.

I'm pretty much in the 76-77 range. I look at it this way, if the outside temperature is in the mid 90's with humidity pushing the feels like temperature into the low 100's, then an almost 25+ degree drop is very good.

If my thermostat is set for 77, it will run until the temperature hits 75 before kicking off for a bit. That's a big drop in temperature when compared to the outside heat and humidity.

About 74.

I dont think my A/C would ever cut off if at 70.

That's exactly what I do. A lot of people buy bigger AC units than what's required for their homes. That's a huge mistake. I also have a couple of solar attic vents on my roof to keep my attic cooler and to help extend the life of my shingles.

My thermostat is a window during the summer. Try to keep my house in mid 60's.

74 with all ceiling fans on during the day.

68 or 70 at night depending on how hot my core body temp feels.

I run it relative to the outside, About 20 degrees cooler.

80 feels fine when its 100 outside.
