Default AC Energy Saver mode

home, I'd turn it back on, and wait until it did its job.

If it's 90 degrees out and you're cooling your place to 80, you're
wasting loads of electricity and money. If it's only 2 degree
difference, you're still wasting some.

Why not just keep the bathtub almost full of 80 degree water so that
when you want a bath, you just add a little more hot water and it's
ready? Or keep the car's engine idling all the time so the car is
ready to go.


If it were not for moisture in the air, you would be right. Or in an
uninsulated house. Ever try to get a house cool and dry from 90? Don't
happen for quite some time. Need to get the water out.
