Generally, it is more efficient to let your air conditioner run steadily at a moderate, consistent temperature than to turn it completely off when you leave and crank it down aggressively upon returning. Modern inverter and multi-stage AC systems maintain home comfort and humidity control effectively by running on low-capacity cycles rather than constantly working at full blast. However, if you will be away from home for an extended multi-day vacation, turning the thermostat up by several degrees or shutting the system off saves energy. Verification: Monitor your monthly utility bills and indoor humidity levels to determine the most cost-effective cooling schedule for your home.
