Someone claims that turning the thermostat of the central air conditioning of a warm house to the lowest level will cool the house a lot faster. Is there any truth to this claim?

What will be an ideal response?


No. The thermostat tells an airconditioner (or heater) at what interior temperature to stop. The air conditioner will cool the house at the same rate no matter what the thermostat setting is. So, it is best to set the thermostat at a comfortable temperature and then leave it alone. Setting the thermostat too low a home owner risks wasting energy and money (and comfort) by forgetting it at the set low temperature.
