re: Anybody else’s wife have no idea how an AC thermostat works?

I know some men that don’t know either.

They think by some magical reason turing it colder will make the air colder instantly.

Now if you have a newer two or multistage unit that can adjust the fan and compressor speed based on the perimeters set like humidity and temperature, that guy will act somewhat how the “idiot wife” thinks how it works. But probably 95% of the newer whole home AC units out there will not use this technology. Variable fan and compressor speeds in the name of energy efficiency are starting migrate into more practical whole home use.

I just bought a newer window unit to help keep an area cooler this summer, and it has the variable speed fan and compressor.
