A/C usage Which is best?

trikkonceptz · 07-21-11, 09:51 PM

Forgive me if this has been addressed before but I was curious about a/c usage. I live in south Florida where in the summer my home reaches an interior temp of 85 degrees. I leave the a/c off while I am not home, but it takes hours for the home to cool down to 76 degrees while we sleep.

So which is better, a/c off then r un it solid for 3-4 hours or set it to 79 degrees and have it run throughout the day? To then run for an hour to cool down to 76 in the late evening.

I have an attic fan that keeps the attic at 105 degrees throughout the day. It use to sit at 123 degrees before the fan.

Thanks
