Should I turn on AC in the morning?
Ducted air conditioning systems are designed to only draw as much power as needed to cool the house. That’s why you should PREPARE FOR THE HEAT and get in first, by turning the air conditioner on in the morning while the house is still relatively cool, set it at a higher temperature (we recommend 23 or 24 degrees).
Can I run my AC all night?
In short, scientists and experts seem to agree that leaving your AC on during the night is pretty safe. Use a timer: before you go to sleep, set your desired temperature and program the AC to switch off during the night since at that point your body will have already cooled down enough for you to sleep well.
What happens when you turn your air conditioner on during the day?
Windows and doors are not the only place where heat can get into your home. During the day, the entire home can get extremely hot. When you turn the air conditioner on, the heat from the home will be transferred to the room. This makes the AC work harder and the cooling ineffective.

Most central air systems run relatively quiet. You may hear a “swoosh” as the unit turns on and cool air floods from the vents and into your home. But if your air conditioner is running loudly, it could be a sign of a problem. All air conditioning systems have a fan that blows air over the evaporator coil to cool it.

What should I do if my AC unit is not working?
One place most homeowners fail to check when performing AC troubleshooting is the outside unit itself. Go outside and examine the unit. Is there any dirt or debris covering the surface? If so, your air conditioner is probably working overtime to cool your house. Dirt and debris can also cause clogs and other complications.
