Even the most energy efficient air conditioning unit needs to be used and operated properly to ensure that it stays that way. A significant factor to keep in mind is that proper insulation around outside doors and windows helps reduce cold air loss and prevents the unit from cycling on and off. If the unit can remain at a steady temperature, then this will drastically help lower your costs. – Bill

I’m a contractor in Orlando. When you are talking about saving money on cooling costs, the room by room air conditions are 100% the way to go. I end up delivering and installing more of these over summer than you can imagine.

Where might one get such a device and what is it called? I would like to leave the AC fan on for a few minutes after the compressor has shut off as the unit’s cooling coils are still cold and can continue to send out cool air.

40 years ago it did not get this hot. Not everything was paved over with concrete and asphalt which absorbs lots of hear vs deflecting it with green space.
Then there was not global warming which has raised the temperatures several degrees due to the lack of greenery which was replaced with parking lots and concrete building.

With Summer fast approaching, we might consider getting a whole house fan as opposed to an entire air conditioning unit or central AC. Our house’s floor plan is not made to have a small ac unit out the window so we’ve had to consider other options. The fan sounds like it is eco-friendly as well and may use less energy than an AC unit. For now, we also use a portable fan that really seems to help give us a breeze but it’s not really cool air.

There are gadgets available which automatically turns on the fan when the airconditioning unit turns off. This is especially helpful during night time. There can be huge savings when the gadget is used properly.

Install a programmable thermostat so you can vary the temperature according to when you’re home. Set it to 78 degrees when you’re home. If you’ll be gone for more than a few hours, it makes sense to set the air conditioning at 85 degrees while you’re gone.

Unless you are living in the desert states where you will literally get sick from the heat, most people should just turn off their ACs and just find a way to survive. You will live, and the money you save can be put to other, much better uses.
