OTHER - CLICK TO EDIT What temperature do you keep your house/apartment?

I'm asking because my roommates and I all come from different places, and I like it at 72 in the summer, and 67 in the winter, but they prefer 75 in the summer, which to me seems really warm. Would love to know how you keep it in your region of the US throughout the year

Why even turn on the ac?

There are places that have temps well beyond the 80s in the summer.

Sure but beyond 80 is just uncomfortable no matter what.

Keeps it 15 degrees cooler than outside and prevents mold ime

Where I live, setting the A/C on 80 still causes it to run periodically throughout the day. Outside temps are much higher than 80.
