If I run my air conditioner ay a low temperature (such as 67 degrees) all night, will it wear out quicker?
A.The lower the temperature the thermostat is set on, the longer the air conditioning unit will run. Think of it like your car. If you only drive your car 10,000 miles a year versus 50,000 miles a year, the car will last longer with fewer repairs. Therefore, the low temperature requires the unit to run more often and for longer periods, which wears the compressor and fan motor out sooner. However, proper maintenance twice a year will greatly increase the life of the unit and reduce the cost to operate it by maintaining maximum energy efficiency for your unit. A better option is to install zoning, which allows you to cool only your bedroom to 67°. By not cooling the whole house to 67°, you will reduce the wear and tear on your unit, extend its life expectancy, and reduce energy bills. – G.
