The term temperature (a construct) is a used to measure heat energy, to compare "hot" and "cold" things. A rock in the desert sun is hot. A fire is hotter. What's the difference? We devised a "scale" and developed instruments to measure "amounts of heat" to give us what we currently use as temperature. "The high today is going to be in the 80's." "Lead melts at a little under 330 degrees." The former is degrees F and the latter is degrees C. We need scales to talk about temperature. Use the link and begin your journey into how we look at heat (and non-heat, which is cold).

If the temperature outside the house is 45 degrees and the AC is on in house at 75 will the temperature inside the house be maintained at 75 or do you have to turn the heat on to raise the temperature?
By having the air conditioning set at 75, that means the air conditioner will come on only if the temperature in the house rises above 75. It will maintain the interior temperature at a temperature of not more than 75. If the outside air temperature is lower than 75 and you want the interior temperature to stay at 75, you will need to turn on the furnace and set it at 75. Now the furance will come on if the temperature in the house drops below 75 but will not come on if the temperature in the house rises above 75.
