Is your thermostat working against you?
Setting the temperature too low will not cool your home faster. It can simply make your AC run longer, work harder, and use more energy.
For many homes, keeping the thermostat in the mid-70s during summer can help balance comfort and efficiency. Here are other ways to keep your settings consistent throughout the season:
▪️Avoid big temperature swings
▪️Do not crank the AC way down after being away
▪️Use a programmable or smart thermostat when possible
▪️Give your system time to cool gradually
