Eli5 Okay, I don’t understand my AC

695 views

For context I am located in Florida and I keep my AC at 76 and never keep the doors opened, but the blinds are up because we have house plants. People say to turn AC to 80 in the day to make it cheaper since my electricity ends up being 200$+ on average. Wouldn’t it cost more for it to constantly being going up to 80 and back to 76!?????

in addition to what other people have said, it’s common for the price of electricity to change during the day. The big reason that people say to set the AC at 80 during the day but run it at night is because electricity is most expensive during the day to encourage people to use less. running your AC from 4-9 pm (as an example) is more expensive than running it from 9pm-1am even though it’s the same amount of time.
