Yes I read and you can see clearly on charts switching of AC for 1/3 of time (8 hours) saves only ~10% energy. So yes, you will save negligible amount of energy

Yes I read and you can see clearly on charts switching of AC for 1/3 of time (8 hours) saves only ~10% energy. So yes, you will save negligible amount of energy by having switched off AC for non-negligible amount of time.
> It's a convenient myth that not turning off the heating when you're not home saves energy
Stop twisting my words, I didn't say anything like that, I just said thosae savings are negligible and irelevant.
- lucb1e 4y agoNot just you who's saying that, but it's a thing that keeps being repeated. You didn't say it helped at all, while in reality it does. That's the thing people are going to remember. Ask anyone if they want a 10% discount on their energy bill (while helping the environment / energy transition to boot) and see what they say. I don't think it's going to be "nah, not worth it".
- Markoff 4y agoI said "it doesn't save even 10% of energy", maybe work on your reading skills if that means for your it doesn't help at all. Yeah and ask those people if they wanna come for this saving to hot home. This negligible at best 10% discount ain't for free, it cost you convenience which I value at more than some negligible saving.
