Some of what I'm going to tell you is going to seem counter intuitive, but believe me I've been doing this a long time and I will not steer you wrong.
1st ! Leave that Thermostat ALONE !!!!
This is the biggest mistake most homeowners will make, Setting the thermostat below 74 will not get it cooler in your home any faster. Your air conditioner has one speed. It is either on or it is off. Setting the thermostat down below 74゚ is harmful to your system and can cause catastrophic failure up to and including compressor replacement. Unless you have a few extra thousand just laying around you have no plans for. Hands off that Stat.
With the heat of summer almost upon us, A few tips to help you Keep your cool. Replace your air conditioning filters every 30 days during the hot summer months. Your AC system will thank you and you'll breathe easier.
Remember your home air conditioning system has certain limitations it can only cool your home to approximately 30゚ below outdoor temperature. So if it's 110゚ outside your AC system can only bring the temperature in your home down to about 80゚
Set your thermostat between 74 to 78゚ and leave it there, this is the best setting for your personal comfort and the longevity of your A/C system.
Turning the thermostat lower will not improve the equipments ability to cool your home. Your AC unit only has one speed. You can actually Freeze up your air conditioning system and Cause Equipment Failure.
I can not emphasize this enough, get your system checked!
This is the least expensive way to help ward off high dollar repairs. A inexpensive capacitor failure can lead to high dollar compressor failure very quickly and without warning
