Also, once the unit works properly, how much more does it cost to keep
the apartment at 76 as opposed to 80 (above conditions)?


Thanks


Generally speaking, you can save / spend about 2% for each degree,
although that can vary significantly depending on the indoor / outdoor
difference and the efficiency of your unit..



The power companies website (Progress Energy, NC) says there's a 10%
increase in cooling costs per degree above a 78 deg setting.


above??
