7.5 hours the last few days. 4.5 hours on Monday since it was overcast. The thermostat adjusts to 78 when my wife and i leave for work and 78 after we go to bed. We havr a window unit to keep the bedroom at 68 at night. Saturday and Sunday when we were home all day it was right at 11 hours.

have it set to 75 and it runs 24/7

There’s no point in setting in any cooler than 75 because it’s never gonna get there
pretty much me but wife insists on setting it to 70 but it never reaches that until about 4am.

I work with people that don’t get that what ever you dial the temperature to is not what is coming out the vents. It is air that is drier and typically 20 degrees cooler.

They believe what you set the thermostat at is what the air temperature is coming out. I hate to beak it to them that it is just colder air coming out. Only way you can customize this with two stage cooling, and most systems are a single stage.

So a misplaced thermostat that is in a hot room with a high ceiling will run more and leave some rooms colder than others.
