The ideal temperature for a thermostat is 78 degrees. However, several air conditioner owners feel this temperature is not ideal enough for their homes to be comfortable. In such cases, owners may even lower the temperature, increasing their energy bills significantly.
Owners can use ceiling fans with their air conditioners to circulate cool air quicker to switch off their air conditioners earlier than usual to save money on their energy bills. Using a smart thermostat with an air conditioner can also help control energy bills with proper comfort.
