re: Annual Reminder To Set The AC At 78 Degrees During The Summer Months

In Sacramento electricity is most expensive from 5-9 pm and cheapest from midnight to 6 am. I try to get the house as cold as I can before noon and try to hold as much cool in as I can until bedtime. I don’t come upstairs until then as it will get to 85 in the summer. There are probably better strategies but it keeps the electricity cost below $300 per month.
