Episode Details

Should you turn off your AC when you’re out? Experts say it’s a smart move most of the time — but not without caveats. Raising your thermostat just a few degrees for a few hours can slash energy bills by up to 10% annually, especially if you’re gone for a full workday. But in humid climates, turning it off risks mold and makes cooling harder when you return. In dry areas, you’ve got more wiggle room. Older or poorly insulated homes heat up faster, so adjusting the thermostat even for short absences can help. Smart thermostats and closing blinds add extra savings — and your AC will thank you for the break.
