We live in South Escondido, which means it's hot here so we do have AC as a backup which we use about 4 weeks total a year. They are brutal weeks...not all in a row. Worst are the humid storms that move North from Baja carrying all that moisture. In the first year here I installed a whole house fan which is amazing, flip the switch at 7 pm and the house is instantly cooled by the outside air. I cannot sleep unless it's cold, so that means during the hot times, like right now, I pull the AC down to 72 and have a ceiling fan over the bed. In the morning it goes back to 76 and we keep the window shutters closed. The other 9 months are great though! We use our whole house fan for the days the AC is not needed for the months it's 80+F outside during the day.
