[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t want to let it warm up.  If you have the temp set on the tstat to fluctuate a lot, it will run forever to cool the house back down on hot days.  Better to set it at a consistent temperature +/- 2 degrees rather than +/- 6 degrees[/quote]

During hot summer days, do not let the indoor temperature rise very much, because keeping it at a comfortable temperature is less work (also less electricity and less $$$) than letting it warm up and then try to cool it significantly.

If you have a programmable thermostat (e.g., with different settings for sleep, wake, morning, and away), then double-check how all of those various settings, including the time of day for each, are configured.

In winter, we let our indoor temperature rise naturally with sunlight through the windows during the day, because we know it will cool naturally after dark.  In summer, by contrast, we keep the inside no warmer than 72F, which is our personal comfort level.  [/quote]
