Leaving AC/Fans on in vacant home

Other than for possible buyers, is there a good reason to leave the AC
and three ceiling fans on in a vacant home in Baltimore?

I'm working at home now and could go over and turn the AC on an hour
before buyer shows up (if they know in advance).

Or if the AC runs, shouldn't they turn off the fans so the hot air
from the ceiling isn't breought down to the thermostat and doesn't
make the AC run even more?


My friend is selling the home and it make take weeks or months, and
that's a lot of electicity and money wasted afaict.



Baltimore can be hot and humid. I'd set the AC to about 80 so it never gets
overly hot and turn it down to 75 when the agent calls.

The ceiling fans help by keeping air moving so people feel a little cooler
and the rooms are evenly heated and cooled. Not such a big deal for people
walking through so I'd leave them off.
