What is the perfect thermostat setting in the summer?

70 my goto

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.

75 when not home. 73 when hanging around house. 71 when sleeping.

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.

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

80 feels fine when its 100 outside.
