Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos got into a light-hearted disagreement over their ideal bedroom temperature.
During the Monday, August 31 episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, the married couple discussed tips on conserving energy and saving money while using the air conditioner.
Consuelos began the pre-recorded episode by reading off a statement that claimed setting your AC to the "auto" option is the most ideal way to keep the cost lower and to avoid using unnecessary energy.
'I Feel Like Our House Is Always Too Cold'
Kelly Ripa said the pair should just turn off the air conditioning.
Ripa replied, "You know what saves even more energy? Turning it off."
"You mean turning it off and leaving it off?" Consuelos questioned.
"Yes," she continued. "I feel like our house is always too cold."
'That's a Good Compromise'
Kelly Ripa confessed that she likes when their house is around 75 degrees.
Ripa shared that she would prefer the temperature in the home to be at least 75 degrees.
The Riverdale actor acknowledged that the mid-70s is an appropriate setting during the day, but when they are going to sleep, it's been "scientifically proven by experts" that it's better to snooze in cooler temperatures around 68 degrees.
Despite disagreeing, the mother-of-three came up with a compromise.
"There's seven days in a week," she said. "Let's do three days where I'm comfortable and four days where you're comfortable. That's a good compromise."

'Put Your Chilly Cheeks Somewhere Else'
Kelly Ripa claimed she is 'dead' below 72 degrees.
"Okay. In the three days that you're comfortable, do I have to be in the same place?" Consuelos joked.
"No, there's plenty of bedrooms. You can go chill, put your chilly cheeks somewhere else," she snapped back as her husband and the audience broke out in laughter.
Calling back to the previous statistic, the actor reiterated that it is "scientifically proven that you should sleep in cold."
"Forget that. I'm dead," Ripa added. "I'm dead below 72."
'I Have to Sleep on My Hands'
Mark Consuelos admitted Kelly Ripa's 'side of the bed' is 'warm.'
Ripa then asked the Live audience if they sleep with their own air conditioners set to a cooler temperature.
When viewers in the crowd began cheering, she added, "Well, guess what? I'm not sleeping over at your house. Forget the sleepover we planned. It's not happening."
The podcast host said she gets so cold at night that she has a heater on her side of the bed.
"You're the one that comes over, and you come over to cuddle me, and you're like, 'Oh, your hands are so cold. Your feet are so cold,'" she teased Consuelos. "I'm like, 'Yeah, it's cold in here.'"
"But on your side of the bed it's warm," he added, as Ripa confessed, "I have to sleep on my hands."
