Where do you keep your thermostat set?
Wife and I get along well except for one thing: the thermostat. I keep trying to explain that when it’s 95+ degrees outside it will never get to 70 inside. 20 degrees between the vents and return are about all it’s gonna do. Setting it at 70 is just going to overwork the unit and cost a boatload of money.
Especially looking for answers from jellies who live in the hotter latitudes. How do you settle the thermostat war with your spouse or room mates?
Using Fluther
