What temperature do you keep your thermostat at? (lemmy.zip)

Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

That's interesting. When away from home I set a minimum temperature to avoid pipes freezing in the winter, but why do you put the AC on a max temperature when away from home?

Yeah that doesn't seem very efficient to make the AC work so much harder when you return home.

It's apparently a good thing to do: https://www.carrier.com/residential/en/us/products/air-conditioners/best-temperature-for-ac/

Maybe because the house is naturally warmer during the day when you're not home, and it will cool down on its own before you come home. But idk, I don't own an AC.
