what is your AC set at?
#74
If we're not home most of the day, the programmable thermostat is set at 81 (just in case it gets too hot inside).
A hour or two before we're due to arrive home, it's set to cool down to 78 or 79.
At 10pm it automatically goes back up to 80 because our nights have been cool enough to open windows for fresh air.
If we're home all day, I'll adjust the temp as I see fit (usually to 78=79).
Fans use less electricity than air conditioning units.

Also in North Texas. Keep it at 78/79. When it is 104 to 106 outside, the AC doesn't need to run so much. 3900 SF house....AC bill including lots of 100 plus degree days...was $198. We have ceiling fans in all major rooms except dining room so the upper 70's works...so far.
Might have to crank it down when the temp goes above 106.
