There are a lot of folks that think that if the AC is set to 72º, but will only cool the house to 75º*that maybe it'll do a better job if they set it to 65º or 60º. I don't know what they think, but they do.

I think the mindset is more like if I set it to 60, that thing will know I’m serious and cool down faster!
I usually am at 75 summer and 65 at winter- adjusting if my comfort is being met. I also have a whole house dehumidifier, so a dry 75 is more comfortable than a humid 72.
