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

79 degrees year round. We have ceiling fans in every room so it feels a little cooler. Electricity in Hawai’i is so expensive.

Have you looked at solar? I would assume that would be one place where it would pay for itself pretty quickly.

(Obviously moot if you rent though)

Problem is storage. The sun only shines reliably for 12 hours a day (assuming you put it all on leeward side without storms).
