What temp do you come home to if the AC is off all day?

Like if you turn off the ac and leave for work how much does your house heat up? Left my house yeasterday it was 74 and come home 9hrs later is was freaking 85. Thinking I need some more attic insulation up derr.
45

Sounds like your A/C is fricked up.

Why do you turn the AC off?

I control my A/C from my phone, and it’s on a schedule. At home, Away, and Night time temps are preset.

My house stays at the temp I have it set at throughout the day, as I have a decent thermostat and properly functioning system.

You don’t turn off your ac completely during the day. I turn mine up to 77 so I come home to 77 and it doesn’t have to work so hard to cool down.

What part of he turned the AC off don’t you understand

Keeping the AC on 77 or 78 during the day keeps the house at a manageable temp so it doesn’t have to work as hard to bring it back down to 72 in the evening. That usually results in a lower bill for me.

Usually somewhere around 73

No. What you need to do is set your damned thermostat and leave it alone. What the hell were you thinking turning off your AC in this type of heat?!?
Posted on 7/6/19 at 8:43 am to Chuker
I have no idea, because I would never turn off my AC. Who the hell wants to get hit in the face with 85 degree air when they walk through the door?

Luddite much brah?
Jump into the 21st Century, the water’s fine.

Around the same. We leave the AC at 78 while not home. Come home it gets turned down to 73.

Is this a fact or just an urban legend? I hear this talking point but I’ve never seen an analysis that says this definitively.

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.

Generally I've found anything more than an 8 degree temp difference and your AC is working too hard to get the temp back down which uses more energy.
Our house has high ceilings and good ceiling fans, so we can keep it at 75/76 when we're home and it feels great. So we set the daytime temp at 82, with it back at 75 when we are home after 5:30.
