Our Utility company offerd a program this past summer where we let them take control of the system during really hot days. We would get a $5 or $10 credit applied yo our utility bill.

What type of thermostat do you have? Is it programmable? If not consider replacing yours with a newer model. Not expensive, around $50. I have a low tech household, but with a programmable thermostat. I have it set at 78 or 80 in the summer and in the winter at 70 during the day and 68 at night.
