re: Whats more energy efficient ?

I had the AC people come out before I had the blown insulation . I was actually happy that it was kicking off and on during the day after I had the blown insulation instead of running all day. I was just curious bc I read a article saying you use more energy starting it up throughout the day rather than just running .

Maybe what the article was actually comparing was leaving the temp set during the day (so that it kicks off and on as usual) vs. turning the temp higher during the day (so that when you turn it down when you get home it runs for a long time). In this case, it's better to turn the thermostat higher during the day and then make the AC run for a while to cool the house in the evening. It's just going to come down to total run time to determine what's more energy efficient. The startup current is negligible in the calculation.
