KingKolzig Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 lets say you set it at 75 then you turn it to 73 thats 2 degrees but you want it 71. another 2 degrees. but does it use the same energy for another 2 degrees as it did before. or the cooler you get the more expensive it is?

Boatboatboat Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 No same cost The air coming out of your vents isn't 71 or 73 Its coming out as cold as its able, and as soon as that temp air mixes with the warmer air in your room and achieves the temp you desire it shuts off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKolzig Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 i bet if the house is 80 and you want 75 its like $2 and if its 70 and you want 65 its like $3.50 thermodynamics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 King is right. Boat is wrong.No he isn't, obviously if the unit cycles less often it'll use less electricity, that wasn't his question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatboatboat Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 King is right. Boat is wrong.Really so an AC unit varies the temp of air it produces based on thermostate setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKolzig Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 to get a room from 80 to 79 its easier on the system then 61 to 60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatboatboat Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 to get a room from 80 to 79 its easier on the system then 61 to 60no shit your question was does it cost more to go from 71 to 70 than --------- 74 toi 73 no obviously with air coming in via cracks and air leaks, sure it is. But that is insignificant The pointis if your thermostate is set at 75 or 70 the temp of the air the AC is producing and mixing into your room is the same, so the cost to cool that air is the same AC units don't put out varing temps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKolzig Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 so your saying timewise it will take the same exact amoutn of time to go from 80 to 75, then 70 to 65? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously a colder room cost more than a warm room you said in post 2 it was the same cost, its not. even 73-71 then 71-69 has a different cost. ppl who run their ac's constantly at 65 are wasting a ton of energy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTiger Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 KkIm saying the cost to run your ac stays the same per min its running. Obviously a colder room cost more than a warm roomYes. But that's not directly hitting his question on the head. His goal temperatures add in a new element. The further you are away from the outside ambient temperature, the more work the system will have to do. So even though those degrees from 75 to 73 are the same size as 73 to 71, they require different amounts of work from the A/C system.

It’s extremely significant. And the temp coming out wouldn’t be the same either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
