Then I turn it to 82 in the evening before going to bed. We don't like the cold so 82 is comfortable for us. Later this week we are going away for 5 days. I don't think it makes sense to turn the AC off completely because the house will collect so much heat but is 88 or so a reasonable idea for the time we are gone ? The cooling bill is scary this time of year and I'd like to save some change if I can.

  1. You won't be there generating body heat so 88 seems reasonable. Just take into consideration any indoor plants before you decide. Please travel safely.


  2. I would turn it off and then have a trusted neighbor turn it back on when you call to say your on your way home.
