If its 75 degrees outside and my ac is at 72 will it feel the same as outside?

Question

people have been telling me my ac should be at 72-75 degrees but that seems hot to me.

Answer 1

depends on the humidity,,

Answer 2

The one thing that could differ is humidity.   That can make a hot day feel a lot hotter.  

It depends on where you live (and the weather) on how much humidity is a factor though.

Answer 3

It will pretty much feel the same. Air conditioning is expensive, that is probably why they tell you that. I think "room temperature" is 68 degrees which is lower than what they have prescribed to you.

Answer 4

if the humidity is high then you will feel a difference, but if it is just hot outside, (no humidity) then you won't feel a difference

Ps, i keep mine at 60-65 until night then i raise it to 70, if it's cooler outside

Answer 5

It should feel cooler inside at that temp, because the AC is blowing out cool air and it is circulating The air outside is gonna be warm and unless there is a breeze its gonna be dry feeling.

Answer 6

It will feel cooler inside.

The difference is outside there is a breeze.

Inside airflow only happens while the a/c is running.

GOOD LUCK

Answer 7

so adjust it to a temp that works for you. everyone is different

Answer 8

it should feel about the same outside since its not that big of a temperature difference

Answer 9

no,humidity and sunshine always make thimgs feel warmer

Answer 10

if it is 75 degrees outside, you really don't need the AC on

using some fans on instead will help ease on the electric bill

if your AC temp is set at 72, it will probably feel like 75 because the air needs time to circulate around the room.

Answer 11

70-75 most of the time is a good temperature

it also depends where you live

if its apartment buildings its going to be hotter the higher you are

normally if it marks 72 it doesnt necessarily mean 72 around the house

it just 72 where the thermostat is

so if it is in a cold hidden place

its going to show a lower temperature than it actually is around the house

Answer 12

no,,  you will have less humidity in the house and will feel more comfortable.  I used to keep mine around 70 like my heat but the $800 electric bill quickly changed my mind..  now i keep turn it up around 78.

Answer 13

i set my thing to 78 am i'm just fine but the big tempature on your thing would be 72 and it wont be the same outside it would be the normal temp. the ac only works inside

Answer 14

it depends.

if it humid or dry outside or in your home.

but my ac is at 72...which is cool.

but its almost 90 outside. where i am

your ac will be letting out cool air.

but outside wit will be warm/hot air circulating.

it will not feel the same.

Answer 15

colder in the house, but not by alot... it may feel the same, though, depending on humidity, how fast the air from the a/c is blowing, and conditions outside (raining, etc.)
