With air conditioning systems, the equipment runs at peak efficiency when it operates for long periods. Cooling your house back to the comfortable temperature will use less electricity than the unit would use cycling on and off for short periods to maintain the set temperature. If your house takes too long to get back to a comfortable temperature, you might investigate getting a programmable thermostat, and set it to start heating or cooling your house an hour or so before you return. You could also set the thermostat back, to a lower temperature for heating, or a higher one for cooling, while you are gone, rather than turning it off completely.

If a friend borrows a car and doesn't return it how do you get it back?

Well call your friend up and ask for it back because its obviously yours and its not right to take something and not give it back. If they don't give it back then go over to their house and tell them that its your car and you want it back. If they still don't give it back by now then their not a true friend. Tell a parent or an adult and see if they can help. Or if you have a spare key, just go get it.
