What is your Air Conditioning set at?

One of the few "smart" things I did when we bought the new house was have an HVAC guy install a mess of computerized dampers and thermostats to create multiple zones. We have four Zones in the house (downstairs, 2nd floor, master suite, finished attic). The main two floors we keep at 80ºF through the summer, but if the kids are away or we're out of town, we can shut-down the appropriate parts of the house completely. The finished attic room zone is set for 85ºF...we don't use it that much and it has a manual over-ride when we need to use it for rehersals, HomeTheater, or parties.

.....also have two of those thermostatically controlled attic vent fans to cool-out the unfinished attic spaces.

Trees are underestimated.

Even in the Pacific Northwest, trees are underestimated. If you have a cedar 160 feet from your house and you underestimate its height to be less than 160 feet, then you will be underestimating how much it will cost to repair your roof.

id like it to be cooler, but whenever it gets below 77 in the summer, my mom has a miniature panic attack over the how much it will cost us.

I don't know what it is here at work, but it sure is cold! Two weeks ago, when the rain started getting bad here (and the humidity made the heat feel even worse!), they lowered the thermostats in the lounge and in the classrooms. I am thinking about bringing my insulated leather bomber jacket along!
