Again, this points out the fact that we are all different. That, of course, is a good thing. These folks apparently need to be cool. OTOH, we despise A/C, never using it unless temps reach 95F and humidity above 80% and even then it's whether to turn the fan up another notch. Unless there is no air moving outside, we usually opt for the greater fan speed. Did I mention that we REALLY don't like A/C?
It's really not a monetary issue for us, but just an aside: We've been in our current N. FL location for a month. Temps have averaged 90H to 70L. We run our refrig on propane. Our entire monthly outlay for energy was $33. Our neighbor racked up $151 not including any propane usage. But then again, he keeps his rig at 72F. At 72, we'd consider turning on the furnace!
Different strokes. :)
