Working "harder" simply means that the total time that the cooling unit is on will be greater if you turn it off completely and turn it back on when you get back than if you were to allow it cycle on and off all day while you're out.

Indeed, work "harder" is probably a poor choice of words.

'fredo- you keep your stat set at 72° in the summer? Shocked

What does your electric bill look like? Ours is typically set around 78° when we're home and 82° when we're away. It's not exactly cool, but it's not uncomfortable.

It's supposed to reach 94° today and 100° by Monday. But it's a dry heat, so we've got that going for us, which is nice.

78° here and we'd be dripping sweat the entire time we we're home. Kind of defeat the purpose of having ac IMO.

Our bill isn't bad at all since the unit is very efficient and our house is protected by large trees so it is under shade a lot.

The hot summer month bills like the one I'm about to pay June, July, Aug, Sept are $150-$175. If we had a brutal month it wouldn't get above $200. The other months of the year it is around $70.

It also depends on how much laundry a month we do as we have the suckiest most inefficient electrical dryer.
