We are at 73 day and night during cooling season, and we heat to about 68 or 70 if we feel chilly. Of course we dress for those temps so we’re not uncomfortable.
I found out here, with the humidity, that if the house is much cooler than the dew point, we get a lot of condensation on the outside of the windows overnight. (Window coverings closed gives us a bit more cooling range). That dries in the morning, leaving a residue of salt, which has to be rinsed off to see well and to protect from corrosion of window frames, etc. So 73 it is. Our electric bill for Sept (still a hot month here) was $125 total; all electric house except the range (propane, have not needed any in two years).
