I live part-time in Arizona and part-time in Texas, both of which have hot summers yet distinct climates. Arizona's dry heat contrasts with Texas's more humid conditions. In both places, I maintain my thermostat at a steady 79ºF all day and night and never adjust it. My sister, who works at a large regional electric company, has mentioned that while many people, including her, set their thermostats at 72ºF, keeping it at 78ºF or 79ºF is actually best for energy efficiency and overall comfort.
