Well needless to say that makes a huge difference as the

isn't needed as much.

Sorry, but that is an illogical conclusion. The only component of
the
air conditioning system that removes heat is that of the
refrigeration
(compressor-condenser-evaporator) cycle. Running a circulation fan
only
redistributes the existing air. Over the long term the compressor
has
to run equally long to remove a given amount of heat.


Not an illogical conclusion at all if the house has poor air
circulation. I've measured air temp deltas of 15 degrees or more
between floor and thermostat with registers and cold air returns at
floor level...
