housepicks Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Yes. 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.Correct. You set your AC to 65 when it’s continuously 90 outside that AC may run for a week straight and never achieve temp. Put it on 75 and it cycles on and off.

Boatboatboat Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 and even worse if you set it at 42 you guys know your shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housepicks Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Ever heard of dual stage compressors that modulate on and off depending on load? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatboatboat Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 And the temp coming out wouldn’t be the same either.temp varies coming out of an ac unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVU Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 it will take say 60 seconds to go from 80-79 but will take 90 seconds to go from 72-71 while unit is running therefore it will cost more. Also some areas will charge more at peak times so it would cost even more during hot afternoons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housepicks Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 no 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 tempsAll seals broken on windows. Cracked glass. Storm windows? Who needs them. Insignificant. Insulation in walls and attic? Insignificant. Tyvek? Insignificant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTiger Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 For the last fifteen minutes, I have been trying to come up with a better explanation, but it's all there. Done. EDIT: I guess I could explicitly state that this thermodynamic shit is INEFFICIENT, and that's why it takes more work when the difference in temperature is larger. There are formulas and shit that Isaac Newton discovered, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

housepicks Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 So you really think if your AC is running, lets say the room is 80 and the setting is 70, if you turn the dial to 75 it'll magically start using less juice?The old school answer is no. A thermostat is simply a switch like the one on your wall but instead of manual control it’s automated and temperature based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That changes everything. The FINAL INVOICE will be lower. It will work less total time to get to your goal state. You invited Becky out for lobster. She changed her mind and got lemon-pepper chicken breast. You saved money on your final bill. EDIT: The above is not a great example. Sorry, Becky.

Boatboatboat Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 So if i come home House is 80 I want it 70. I can get cooler air to be omitted from the registers if i set thermostat at 65. And once it hits 70. Turn it to 70 to maintain desired temp Fascinating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
