When do you Quit Running Your Air Conditioning in the Fall?

It’s almost the middle of December and the weather is still climbing into the upper 80s on particular mornings.

I live in a state where we have mild winters, so it’s something that I am used to.

However, a couple weeks ago, we experienced a cold front that lasted a few weeks and I was sure that the weather had changed for the season, but then it warmed up again. So, this unpredictable weather makes it taxing to determine if I should use my central cooling unit. According to the HVAC experts, you can stop using your central A/C when the temperatures are consistently below 68 degrees, then it’s okay to shut down the cooling until next season. So, when the temperature remained cool for over four weeks I was able to shut down my cooling, thinking that I wouldn’t need to use it again until the summer. But nature threw myself and others a curveball and the temperature warmed up again. There were mornings that felt like we were back in the summertime. I was looking forward to turning off my cooling for good because that would lead to some savings on my energy bill. But now that I am back to using my cooling, the savings will not show up until next year. However, not many people enjoy the colder weather, but because I live in this section of the country I welcome the colder weather with open arms. I just hope that the temperature changes again in the next couple of weeks. But this time I want it to change for good.
