For those with central air (we salute you)... What do you set it at?

[Ed Anger]

70 in the dog days of summer.

[PDH]

I turn my AC to the 50s each night.  Oh wait, I just open the window.

[Grey Fox]

I need to install ducking to have central air

This summer I will use a Window AC, I set it to max & let it run. So far it can only get the temp down to 74.

I have pretty good guideposts for heating during the winter (66-68 when I'm home, don't turn it down overnight, and 60 when I leave the house).  But I've never lived in a place with central AC before and I feel a little lost with the temps. 

I'm keeping it around 78 or 79 when I'm home, and turning it up to 83 or 84 when I leave for the day.  Am I doing it right?  What do the central air experts advise?

21-22 celsius in the office.

[Iormlund]

I rarely use A/C. When temps outside are unbearable (around 40ºC) I do I set it at 26 or 27 ºC, which is low enough.

[Strix]

I usually have it set between 66-68.

[Brazen]

What is this A/C of which you speak? We're supposed to have it in the office, by my thermometer is reading 27 degrees (80 F) now, and we have fans to move the warm air around.

Goddamn, man, you'll melt at that rate.  78 when you leave for the day, 74 when you're home during the evening and weekends, and dropping to 70 overnight so you can sleep.

[garbon]

When I have central air, 73 at highest.  My window unit has a thermostat function but I've no idea how accurate it is.

[garbon]

Also, I woke up the last two nights as I'd left my fan off and my windows weren't open enough.

[CountDeMoney]

I usually have it set between 66-68.

Now that's what I'm talking about.

[The Brain]

'74-'75

[lustindarkness]

I keep it at a cool 70 and lower it to 68 at night, sometimes it stays at 68 all day long just to keep it cool. If we are not home for a weekend we leave it at @74 to save some but the dogs still have some cool temp to run in to. I just can't imagine a hot and humid Alabama August with no AC.

[Barrister]

I have no AC.   

[garbon]

I have no AC.   

Yay I'm not a member of the 1st world?
