Home Maintenance Myth # 2 - Turn Off AC When You're Not Home

 

Save Energy by Turning Off the Air Conditioner When You're Not Home

You may think you're saving on energy costs if you turn the AC off when you leave the house in the morning, but this isn't the best way to save money.

According to National Property Inspectors, "When you come back home and turn your system back on, your AC unit will have to work overtime to cool your house back down, negating any energy savings you've accrued."

Instead, just adjust your thermostat five to 10 degrees warmer when you leave home.
