How to lower energy bills during hot summer months

To save money on electricity bills during the hot summer months, many Americans may turn off their air conditioning units when they aren't home. But, it may be cheaper to raise the temperature rather than shutting them off. David Watsky, a senior writer with CNET, joins CBS News to explain.

Turn them up to 75. If you can't sleep at night if its warm, turn it down when you go to bed. 80s is ridiculous. You know that our politicians and the Uber wealthy keep their homes in the 60s.

Not in texas, they want u to conserve. My small apt only takes a couple of minutes to come to my desired temp after being turned off all day
