"76 or 77?" Sounds more like a meat locker E. You may want to invest in the Nest which will adjust your temps accordingly when you enter and leave the building. Me thinks you are paying too much to keep it cooled while you are out. But then we keep ours at 84 degrees all the time and when people come over they wilt...the good news is, they never stay long.
I am 82 during the day and 78 at night. That's temperature not age, but it's close! These fine mornings I keep the front door open. Welcome to Fall, Winter, Spring. BTW. What is a "Nest"? And, what is the cost and, who installs?
It's a thermostat that works like no other, pretty cool but darned expensive. You can read about it here.
