We also are running fans inside the house with our 79 setting- it makes a huge difference and doesn't allow for cold pockets and warm pockets that the AC normally creates.
Covering the windows makes a huge difference on how much it runs! Our stongest sun is on our kitchen sliding glass door, and we've kept the blinds closed on that. It's so strong on that window that in winter it keeps the heater from running, and it covering it in summer really helps to even out the internal temps.
