Re: How hot does it have to get...

When I'm home alone, I usually use a fan during the day. At night, the dog and I need air conditioning. (my husband has an extra blanket on his side of the bed)

On 7/3/2014 stilltamn8r said: My house, at least the downstairs stays surprisingly cool..when interior temp gets to about 80 or so, then I will put it on...but if I were building from scratch, I would have two circuits, one for down stairs and separate for the upstairs bedrooms...How I HATE air conditioning the downstairs when no one is there, and I am upstairs in bed...so I usually suffer....

That is one thing that we wished we had done...gotten a dual zone heating/cooling unit. We have a downstairs that is basically a finished walkout basement. It's always about five to seven degrees cooler down there. Our laundry, guest bedroom and bath, and den are there, so we do use it regularly. I have a space heater in the den that I use all year long.

We asked about dual zone while the house was being built, but the builder looked at us like we had two heads!

Lesson learned for the next time...
