Also, once the unit works properly, how much more does it cost to

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.
So set it at 88 (100% savings) on a hot 105 degree day and it should cost
you nothing!!!! LMAO
Bingo...
