Yes, we've adjusted our thermostat from 72 to 73 during the afternoon and from 68 to 71 at night... but not because of ERCOT. The last electric bill was more than I've paid in at least the last 11 years.

Ours is at 72. 24/7. Worth the $490 electricity bill!

We turn ours up to 77 as soon as one of us wakes up and it rarely come on during the day unless it gets over 100 degrees until we go to bed. We keep it at 70 degrees at night, but I could probably get by with 72.

We have two HVAC units. The one for the back half of the house (bedrooms) gets set to 80 once we're done with morning routine, and we keep the other one set for comfortable ~76 with the ceiling fans running. Main concern isn't ERCOT so much as keeping our electric bills from going too high. Back thermostat gets set down to 76 when it's bedtime.
Our weekly electric usage is still higher in this heat, but it's better than when we keep both set lower 42/7

Keep ours on 74. Monday was having hard time maintaining 76 so Tuesday I pre-cooled the house from 9am at 70. Was able to maintain 74 that day. Going to be a long and stressful summer under ERCOT.

Between the higher bills and some with systems struggling to keep up may be a lot of folks reassessing if they should upgrade their HVAC to bigger, more efficient units. Very glad we did a few years ago.
