What Is the Ideal Temperature for Home Air Conditioning in the Summer?
If you’re like many homeowners, summer is the time when you crank up the air conditioning. Despite your alacrity when it comes to turning the unit on, you’re still wondering what temperature you should have the system set at. Considering a few factors can help you to make the right decision.
Personal Comfort
Ultimately, you have to determine what temperature you and your family members are comfortable at. The temperature at which you set the air conditioner will likely change throughout the day and the months as well. If you have a new unit, it may take some time to figure out what the ideal setting is for you.
Square Footage
You also need to consider how many square feet you’re expecting the unit to cover. In a tiny room with a powerful air conditioner, you can likely raise the temperature a bit. On the other hand, when you want the air conditioner to cool down its maximum coverage area, you probably need to keep the temperature quite low.
Leaving Home
Several people leave their units on while they’re at work, particularly if pets are in the house. When you leave your residence, however, you can likely raise the temperature. This will help you save on energy costs when no one is home.
System Care
Another element to consider is if too low of a temperature for an extended period causes damage to the unit. In other words, you might cause excessive wear and tear on parts of the system when constantly running it at the lowest temperature possible. Fortunately, Bryant's Heating & Cooling can help you to determine how to cool down your Fort Payne house efficiently without damaging the air conditioner itself.
