Do the five windows in my truck count when driving down the turnpike. It's been busted in my truck since april, and costs too much to fix. I can't wait for a new truck with a/C in it. In the house: my sister and mom don't like turning it on, so it's up to my dad and I to turn it down to 70 ASAP after work. There's no sin greater.

....when Im home its at 85....I cant afford the electric bill if I run it much colder.
I recently bought a programmable thermostat, seems to be working pretty good.
....My problem is I will alternate between sweats and chills all through the nite. Maybe I need to crank it down to 78 at nite then pile on the blankets......

The truck and the bike dont have a/c.....not bad when I lived in WA, starting to kinda suck here in the desert.

In Az I put it at 80 during the day with ALL of the fans on and 78 at night. Any more than that you will be paying out major $$$$$$$

Yes, I am talking about in the house. I guess I should have clarified that a little better

Gotta love this AZ heat... I believe it is on 75 right now, with a fan going full blast right on me.

I find the same thing. (Sort of.) In the winter, I set the thermostat at 65, and it gets hot at times. When my niece comes over, my wife CRANKS the heat up to about 80 or 85. I don't know why. Something to do with keeping a baby comfortable I think.

But with having no AC, we (I) turn the furnace off in April and the temperature hovers around 75.
