Most homes nowadays have a thermostat that you can set to work for you. A programmable thermostat set to AUTO will turn the unit off when it reaches a certain temperature. Turning it down during times when you are under covers will save on your energy bill too. Besides, it’s your spouses job to keep you warm at night. While it feels nice to let your AC warm or cool you, keep in mind it’s more cost effective to just change your clothes than to condition the air in your home. Pull on a sweater when it’s cold or put on shorts and a tank top if it’s hot. Don’t forget to turn the AC off when you leave the house. There’s no reason to heat or cool an entire house when no one is even home.
