Best AC Setting For Cooling: Best Air Conditioner Temperature to Save Money, Set AC to Auto or On?

learn to plant more trees in your backyard around your house to serve as shades to produce cool fresh air to stop depending on airconditioners

Im so lost so auto or not auto

So one thing I saw in another video about this topic is if your fan is always on while in air conditioner mode, you may end up having higher humidity in the house? Especially after cooling is satisfied because the coil still has a bunch of water on it, and the fan will re humidifer your home as it dries the water off? I am having humidity issues in my home and it mainly started after I started doing this so im experimenting with that a bit to see if that is the cause. My thermostat calls it "recirculate air" settings..

On a window unit which is best, hi, med or low? I run mine on low or med but never high.

Does it save money to turn off your AC (set at 74-74 auto) during the randomly cool, breezy days during the summer (we don’t get many, but here or there we may get a day where I want to open the window) ? Or is it better just to keep the ac running ?

Mine is usually at 70 since I get hot on vacation I have it on 78-80

Hello please please help me
I don’t want to run my programmable
Thermostat what should I do .
Should I leave it at hold button?

Please use someone less hot. I missed everything shit said.

Heyyy talk HVAC to me 😉

question should I keep the air cond in the on position all the time or turn it off and keep the fan in the on position all the time?

My AC can be set to 7 Degrees...lol
Love it
I leave mine at 25 Degrees in the Summer ☀️ 😮‍💨

Japan and Taiwan government all suggest to set AC on 78F

Mines always set to 68 degrees. Everyone is always cold, my two sons and husband but I’m always hot! Good thing I’m the only one who can control the thermostat from my phone 😈 I can also set the temp from anywhere that I’m at, so before I come home I can see what the temp is in the house and adjust accordingly from my phone which is awesome

Running the blower all night and all day that'll run your electricity yet

I live in an upstairs condo (700 sq ft) that has vaulted ceilings in the living room and dining area with two skylights. Yesterday it got up to 105 degrees. I set the a/c at 80 degrees. During the hottest part of the day the a/c would cycle about 14 minutes on and 6 minutes off for a couple of hours. Is that setting putting too much stress on the a/c?

I put it on 69 lol they say I'm the ice king 😭

Thank you

My ac changes modes when I turn it off and on again, anyone know why is this? I turn it off being on high cool then when I turn it back on it’s on low?

I found the changing the blower switch to the on position tip very helpful! Thank you!

Or think 75 and actually 78

72 at all times during hot and humid summers in northeast. I bought AC to use it and stay comfortable at all times and can afford the extra 30-40 $ June July and August.

trying to cool just bedroom and i set it at 61 which means to cold

I have two ac window units that have numbers on it. What number do I set it on to put it at 75 degrees?

Thankyou this video helped alot

It gets in the 100's during the summer where I live.
I work nights, so I'm home during the day. I'm not burning up for anyone.
My thermostat is set to 74, and I have a swamp cooler in my bedroom (3 bedroom house).
Usually I can just have the fan blowing on the cooler, when outside temperatures drop, I can raise the thermostat and utilize the water cooling function of the swamp cooler. Drop a little ice in the water tank, a little extra cooling.
Unfortunately my bedroom faces East when the sun rises, have very thick dark curtains to block the sun.
Luckily for me, I have my Adult son who lives at home, pay electric bill.
Last month it was over $600, I believe it had to do with the high cost of gas.
I been in my house since 2001, electric bill has never been over $525 during the summer.
Great part about working nights, I'm not at work during the hottest part of the day.
My coworkers who work during the day, always complain about being hot and sticking.
I sometimes have to put a small jacket on (Hee Hee).

I will try switching the blower on my A/C from auto to continue.
Will let you know if I can see a difference.
Stay Cool, Hee Hee!

I have an old-school thermostat what number do I put my air conditioner on for it to run cool the house down and shut off automatically what number would I put it on

Thanks for sharing this tip about the blower.
I've recommended this to a few people and they don't understand what I'm saying. You explain why very well.

If you run the blower continuously, you also raise the humidity in the house especially if you have an issue with humidity

I took my old shower curtain and used it to divide my kitchen from the rest of the rooms by blocking the entrance open door, while having a 5000 BTU air conditioner active within the bedroom. The end result was very good. Today in the kitchen it is 83 degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity is 90%. In the living room, the temp is 77 degrees Fahrenheit, and the air is dry, and in the bedroom the temp is 75 degrees Fahrenheit with dry air as well. This is the case even though I have an active two fan unit in the window in the kitchen, which is blowing in fresh air 24/7. So, I have both fresh air, and cool air where I need it. Without the curtain divider, things were very different and not pleasant at all.

Floridian who now lives in Arizona. It’s crazy with no humidity how “warm” one can keep their house. Thermostat set for 78 when home and 81 when gone. Humidity is only 30%. With a fan on low, I am comfortable and have no complaints to turn the air down.

What is great about a quality wireless thermostat is to set a schedule and or turn it on before you leave work or school with an app..

I see why my unit isn't getting it cool it's because I don't know what the hell I'm doing 😂😂 I thought high was for heat and low was for air so I had mine on 60 🤦🏽‍♀️as for as on/auto I keep mine on because for someone reason probably me again it goes off blowing air and come back on blowing heat

75 to 80 might as well not even run air

I moved into an apartment and it’s the first time have I have an AC unit. This helped so much!

Common sense people.

Hi, this is Jermey McGuire. I just got both central air conditioners replaced, I had a 2009 Lennox 5 ton for the upstairs and a 2018 4 ton Goodman central air conditioner downstairs.” I had the temperature setting at 80 for the a/c,
Now I have a 2024 Goodman 2.5 ton air conditioner for downstairs and a 2024 5 ton Goodman 14.3 SEER air conditioner. Now I keep the temp upstairs a/c at 78 so I’m maintaining 75!!!!!! I had so so many problems with that old upstairs Lennox a/c. I’m so thankful to have working a/c again!! Before the summer comes back here in Live Oak County, Texas!!

I didn’t realize that about the blower motor and fan auto. My wife has allergies pretty severely during the spring and summer. We also have one area of the house. That’s usually colder than the others so I’ll be leaving the fan on.

Hi...I need to know🙂👍🏾

Fan circ. Fan circ. How do I use the Fan circ. not On all the time; not Auto all the time. Fan circ. Why is this so difficult to find this information?

very helpful video. thank you!

so excited to experiment with the blower switch tonight, lol! Thanks! I sleep upstairs and that's my main AC complaint. Never knew the "ON" switch could make any dif, i just figured "auto" was the best. Very cool, so to speak, thx again for the info!

It's really not what you are currently most comfortable at but what is reasonable for the climate which you live in. Most will be out of breath and unable to function outdoors so in effect "Prisoners of AC" if they set the indoor temperature much below 78 degrees Fahrenheit. You set it to allow yourself to acclimate to the current climate so your blood will become more rich in Hemoglobin to be able to absorb the needed amount of oxygen when outdoors. Set it much below 78 and you will never acclimate to the outdoor temperatures and be more prone to heat illness from low levels of oxygen in the blood.

We deal with this all the time rushing folks to ER's for heat illness since they keep their homes at insanely low temps and can't absorb enough oxygen when engaging in outdoor activities where wet bulb temperatures are often well over 105 degrees.

It may take a few years to acclimate however once you do life indoors and out becomes much more bearable plus having an extra few hundred dollars or so available for other purposes every month is very nice indeed.

Once you acclimate even 79 degrees indoors can feel chilly. I didn't believe this could possibly be true growing up in Northern New England and enjoying tent camping with it was 36 degrees below zero at night however I gave it a fair try and found out I was wrong.

Best!

It's efficiency to runs the blower 24/7.

Just got a new conditioner after my DANBY finally died after 25 years. The new conditioner came with settings set at 22 degrees Celsius, and can be adjusted in steps of 1 degree Celsius up or down, all to meet ones temperature likings. The manual also said that if set to Fahrenheit mode, it can be adjusted up and down in 1 degree Fahrenheit steps. An increment, or decrement, of 1 degree Celsius, is an adjustment of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. I preferred the more accurate adjustments of 1 degree Fahrenheit, and so I set it to Fahrenheit mode instead. In Fahrenheit mode, you thus almost double the temperature settings resolution.

Thank you for this information! I was suffering upstairs thinking I needed a window unit when all I have to do is turn the blower on😮😊

I was talking to my brother and he told me the same thing but I was leary untill today. Did test and kept going in kitchen to fill vent air and it was cold from running air turning it off and still blowing cold so I am sold. Was told in on will raise humidity, running on on for three hours and my humity has dropped a degree already.

I keep my A/C set at 65 all spring, summer & fall and it works great. I’m very hot natured. We live in Fl. and it gets very hot here. I’m talking where it can feel like 110 degrees outside on the heat index. Now I will admit that my window units only last me about 4 yrs. and it may be because I keep it so cold. It’s totally worth it to me. Especially while sleeping.

fkkkk... ac was just set at 77 on auto... just 77 in CA... PG&E jumped to almost $800!!! mfs is tripping!!! lol

Off

Thanks for watching everyone!
