I let the temperature go up to 85 while I'm at work. But when I am home, I turn it down to 78-80 and then down further to 72-73 at bedtime. These are the temperatures that are most comfortable for me.
However if I have been out working in the garden, or at the gym, I'll turn it down to 75 for an hour or so while I cool off. Then back up to 78.
My last electric bill was $78, which I think is pretty reasonable for a non-leveled bill at this time of the year. I guess we will get hit with the higher energy prices later in the summer.
As an aside, it has been hot in New Orleans lately with oppressive humidity. This is how we know we are living in New Orleans. Our frequent summer rains that cool things off have not yet begun.
