re: Question for the ot a/c man regarding house temperature

The most expensive part of running an A/C unit is when it starts up each time. That voltage is super high, but it doesn’t take much to keep it running.
I just installed a variable speed compressor at my house and it can choke down to running as little as 5% and up to 100%. As long as it doesn’t shot completely off, I was told it was as efficient as possible.
I’ve always kept mine at the same temp no matter if the heat or ac is on. 68 in winter and 72 in summer. Electric bills are never super high so I feel good about my strategy.

I guess with a system like this there is a unit that can actually speed up and slow down.
I hate it when people think that when your turn down the thermostat that they expect colder even air to magically come out a system that was designed to work at one speed.
