Okay, last time we figured out my RV AC problem, so this question concerns my home AC.
The upstairs has a heat pump and I set the t stat to 75 at night (bedrooms upstairs) but when I get up in the AM I turn it off (were not up there all day). But then in this mid 90"s heat storm we been havin it gets up to like 90 to 96 when I go upstairs to turn it back on to 75 for the nights sleep, and it takes like 2 to 3 hrs before it cools back down to 75. So the "first wife" tells me I should leave it on during the day set at maybe 80 or so tellin me its more efficient that way and will save us electricity. Im an electrical engineer but not a thermodynamics or mechanical engineer so I just dont know if Im best to leave it off during the day n let it reach 94 then turn it on at night, or maybe set it to 80 or so during the day so it dont have to work so long n hard each evening.
Whats best and why??????????????????????????
