Reduce the Stress on Your AC with the 20-Degree Rule

Most people know that turning up the thermostat on their air conditioner to a higher temperature will result in cooler air blowing from the vents. However, there is a point at which increasing the temperature any further does not make the air cooler – it just uses more energy and costs more money. What is this ideal temperature? The 20-degree rule for air conditioners!

We’re all fully aware that it's been the HOTTEST summer on record. It’s when we start feeling that humidity and heat that we want to go indoors, turn on the AC and chill out, waiting for summer to end. Even though the primary purpose of an air conditioning system is to keep us comfortable and cool during the scorching summer months, it shouldn’t be making us shiver. What’s more, if there were, say, 100 degrees outside and we were to set our thermostat to 70, we would be putting the AC system under considerable strain.

If you want to prolong the life of your system and avoid any unnecessary repairs down the line, consider following the 20-degree rule.

What’s the 20-Degree Rule?

In short, the 20-degree rule of air conditioning states that you should always keep your AC unit at no more than 20 degrees lower than the outside temperature. It means that, if the outdoor conditions are at 95 degrees, you should set your thermostat at no less than 75 degrees.

The logic behind this rule has to do with how the AC unit functions. When the system starts cooling space, it removes the heat but also dehumidifies the air. But when the system has to cool your home by over 20 degrees, its capacity to do both diminishes. As a result, your AC system has to work harder and uses more energy to do so. It, in turn, will lead to faster wear and tear, which can drastically reduce its lifespan.

We love getting ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews!

"I choose E.C.O. for nearly all of my home improvement needs because they are professional, relatively timely, and have done a wonderful job on each of our projects. All the ladies in the office (my most notable dealings having been w/Mrs. Heidi and Robin) have overall been extremely helpful when getting my invoices paid and projects set up. There have been hiccups in communication and coordination with one project, but nothing that could not be worked out in time and with mutual understanding. Because of their professionalism, fair prices, organized system, and quality of work...I will easily give them 5 stars." Ms. Missy
