I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while. I saw a comment a month or so ago. Person said they keep their thermostat at like 65 in the winter and 78 in the summer. 78 seems fucking insane to me. That’s too damn hot for inside. How do you sleep at 78 degrees?
Are they a lizard person or am I a baby?
Edit 1: I love all the comments on this! Never thought this post would create such discussion. Looking at the comments vs upvotes it honestly seems 50/50ish that 78 is hot for the indoors. Can lemmy do polls?

Yeah, that’s extremely similar to our situation. Luckily we have solar panels, so PGE doesn’t absolutely demolish our finances. We also try and open windows overnight when possible since it can be 20-30 degrees cooler.
Where are you?? I live in an old crappy insulated 4bed house in VEGAS and in the summer I pay like 300-350 for AC that I set and forget at 72°

60c? You’ve gotta be talking about peak rates in like DTLA, surely?
You’re telling me your base rate is 60c/kwh?
NV Energy charges me 10c/kwh

Holy crap buddy. Best wishes, that’s brutal.

I imagine a lot of residents are leaving too. I figured it was mostly real estate inflation but knowing that about the PG kwh price… that must also be a massive consideration
