There's no such thing as a "good" temperature that would meet everyone's comfort level. However, to strike a happy medium and to avoid wasting of energy, about 74 degrees is recommended when the cental system is in the cooling mode (i.e. during the summer). You can supplement the cooling affect in the space by the use of ceiling or portable fans and to dress in light-weight clothing. At night, when you're in bed, you can set the thermostat a few degrees higher to save energy and still feel comfotable as your body is at rest and does not generate as much heat. During the heating season (i.e. during the winter), you can lower the thermostat to about 70 degrees and put on a sweater and/or cover your feet with a blanket while you're watching TV or reading to get comfy and save energy. At night, while you're under covers in bed, you can lower the thermostat down to about 68 degrees. Use additional blankets as necessary.

What could be wrong with central air if temp runs higher than what it is set at?
Either needs a new filter, thermostat or , worst-case, cooling element.
Your central air unit is set on auto but stays on constantly?
fan relay switch is no good
What temperature should the central air be set to?
There is no set temperature that the central air should be set to. Most people choose to set this temperature to about 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
What do you look for when you have scalding air coming out of the vent when the temp is set at 60F on a 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis?
The temp blend door actuator has failed.
Why does my home Air conditioner short cycles?
The differential temp on the thermostat is set too close or your are short of refrigerant. I would have it looked at soon, short cycling is not good for the compressor.
Why would your central air conditioner fail to reach the thermostat set temp while running continuously?
Make sure your air filter is clean. A dirty air filter can block air flow. If both the fan and the compressor are coming on, there may be a low charge. If only the fan is coming on, the compressor could be burned up.
How low temp shoud a centrel air cond be set?
A central air conditioner should be set to a temperature that is comfortable for you, usually between 72-78 degrees Fahrenheit. Setting it lower than necessary will not cool your home faster and can lead to wasted energy and higher bills. It is recommended to aim for the highest temperature that is comfortable for you to save energy and money.
Why does your 1995 Cadillac eldorado blow hot air only out of the defrost vents no mater at what temp i set it to?
likely thermostat is stuck. The temp blend door actuator has failed.
Is the air conditioner in normal household controlled by a thermometer?
The household air conditioner is controlled in the same way as any other air con unit. The temperature of the area to be cooled is controlled by a sensor in the inlet air side of the evaporator coil. When the air con reaches I'ts set temp, the unit will cycle on and off within two or three degrees of that set temp to maintain a constant room ambient.
If it's 85 degrees outside and you want the temperature in your car to be 65 degrees so you turn on the air conditioning to auto will the car cool down faster if the temperature is set to 65 or 50?
It will cool at the same pace at either temperature setting. When it reaches the set temperature it will adjust the fan speed as well as the air temp to maintain the setting. Auto air is just that, automatic. Hit the auto button and set the desired temp and only adjust the temp when you are too warm/cold everything else will function automatically.
My 2002 Toyota Tacoma truck Air Conditioning does not seem to have off switch because if I turn fan off I still feel cool air if I turn to hot I feel heat fan off.?
The A/C does have an on/off switch. You are feeling the incoming air that is flowing through the vehicle whether the A/C is on or not. That is why it gets hot when you set the temp to hot. Set it to cool and turn the A/C off and you will feel the air temp of the incoming air whatever the outside temp is. Start the engine raise the hood, look at the compressor. If it is not turning it is off.
Why does your Ford blow hot air when you set the temp dial on cold and heat on normal air condition and cool on max setting?
I really need to know which Ford you have, although the Explorer temp blend door is prone to breaking, and it will act just like that.
