urban legend



about guarantee its an urban legend. Heat transefer is going to happen at a more rapid rate when your home is at 78 and the outside is at 95 than when your home is at 85 and the outside is 95. It might feel like you're saving money but your really not. Leave it on for comfort, not savings.

Also, none of you fuchs have ansered my question. Half of you cant even read the OP correctly.

It’s more about how long it takes to cool your home from 85 to say 75 or lower when you get home and turn it down.

Ehhh.. still sounds stupid to me, and a very uncomfortable 45 minutes upon arrival at home.

Also, your system has to RUN HARD for those 30-60 minutes after you get home. Instead of the usual function (on for 6 minutes, off for 5 minutes, repeat, or whatever).

I have found that the harder/longer a system works, the more likely the line will freeze-up and thus quit on you for a good while, until it thaws.

If leave my ac set to 71 during the day, I'll come home and it'll be 74 in the house and the ac running. It literally runs all day because it can't cool the house.

I turn it up to 77 and then it doesn't run all day. I turn it to 70 when I get home.

Answer this honestly....Did you just move LA or did you just move out of mom & dad's house?

You should feel ashamed for asking this question. Then, not only do you pose this dumbass question, but you shite on legitimate responses which includes the humidity factor.

I always think there's no way I can encounter posts dumber than the previous day, yet you idiots continue to surprise me. I'm scared for what I'm gonna read tomorrow.

Keep turning off your AC and enjoying your hot arse house, you fricking idiot.

That and an AC "works harder" depending on how far it has to cool (outside of dual stage). .

No it doesn't. It's either on or off. It may have to "run longer." But it does not "work harder." If it freezes up, it's not operating properly.

Even still, it's less efficient to maintain a bigger difference in inside vs outside air, over time--the bigger the difference, the faster the heat transfer
