I live in Ohio where the temperature has been in the mid to upper 80's recently. When I get home from work, I turn on the air conditioner to 74 degrees for about 1 hour, then I turn it off. I work with kids all day and really need to cool down when I first get home.
My roommate says it costs a lot of money to turn the A/C on and off, but I feel that is if I'm leaving it on to cool to a low temperature, turning it off till it's hot again, then turning it back on. Either in dollars or a percentage, how is turning on the A/C for an hour or so per day likely to change my electric bill?
The house has two stories and a basement. Five small bedrooms altogether. It's an older house, probably from the early 20th century.
