HVAC Technician Reveals Optimal AC Strategy for Energy Savings and Comfort

HVAC Expert Dispels Common Myth About Air Conditioner Usage A recent video by HVAC technician Angel from Dymond AC has shed light on a common misconception regarding air conditioner usage when homeowners leave their properties. Contrary to popular belief, turning off the AC completely may not be the most efficient or comfortable solution. Angel explains that allowing a house to heat up significantly while unoccupied leads to an uncomfortable return for residents. "When we do that and come back, it is super hot in our house, it's like an oven," he states in the video. The subsequent effort to cool the house back down requires the air conditioner to run for extended periods, ultimately consuming more electricity than if it had maintained a slightly higher temperature. The expert advises a more energy-efficient approach: "What you want to do is just bump it up a few degrees, maybe two degrees above your normal temperature." Upon returning home, residents can then adjust the thermostat back to their preferred comfort level. This method, according to Angel, ensures a quicker return to comfort without the excessive energy expenditure associated with cooling a severely overheated space. The advice has sparked discussion among viewers, with many sharing their own AC habits and questions about thermostat settings.
