Ideally, most homeowners should want to set their thermostat between 80-85 degrees while on a summer vacation. Turning your air conditioner off entirely can be bad for your home’s flooring, walls, and furniture.
What’s The Best Temperature To Set Air Conditioner When Away?
It’s no secret that your to-do list can be extensive when leaving for a vacation. Between packing and making plans, it can be quite easy to forget about setting your AC. Most people think turning the AC off is the way to go. However, doing so is not good for your home overall.
It’s suggested to set your AC between 80-85 degrees. Typically, this temperature range is still warmer than what the thermostat would’ve been set to while at home.
Why Should You Leave Air Conditioning On While Away?
Whenever your AC is turned off, your home can become hot and humid. That humidity, as mentioned above, can be bad for multiple areas of the home. Excess humidity can cause wood to potentially crack.
Leaving your AC on will help prevent damage from occurring, while also being more energy-efficient. When you leave the AC system at a consistent temperature while you’re gone, this will ultimately use less energy than trying to cool down the home as soon as you arrive back from a trip.
