For basic settings, and best results, set your temp. for cooling at about 75 degrees F. or at the highest possible temp. that you can and still be comfortable. The same is true for the temp. setting for heating mode except in reverse. For heating, about 68 to 70 degrees is normal or the lowest temp. possible. This will allow your A/C to run less and operate more efficiently.

Is it more energy efficient to raise the AC thermostat during the day then cooling down the house at the end of the workday or leaving the thermostat at the lower temperature all day?

Typically it is more efficient (and cheaper) to use a set back thermostat. Here is the most basic reason. The rate at which heat is gained or lost by a home or building depends on the difference in temperature between the indoors and the outdoors. Setting the temperature back (higher in the summer and lower in the winter) decreases this temperature difference and thus the total amount of heat gained or lost by the building. When you raise your AC thermostat during the day when no one is home and then cool the house back down in the evening, the total amount of heat removed by the AC during this cycle is less then if you left it cool for the entire time.
