Most people turn it up so the ac will not go on and use much electricity. Why should they pay for electricity to cool an empty house?
On
Instantly.
You can turn the temperature of the AC up but if you turn the fan part of the AC up "high" or "low" it will only make it colder.
YES! of course you do.
It is best to turn off the AC and open windows when the outside temperature is cooler than the inside temperature, typically in the early morning or evening. This can help save energy and improve air circulation in your home.
IT should turn freely when the a/c is not turned on.
Yes that is fine. If you are worried about the bills the best thing to do is to turn the ac down not off when you leave and then when you come back, turn it back up to your comfort level. This way you do not have to try to re-cool the whole house.
It would be advised if you do not want to get cold.
The AC should have been running while it was being charged.
if you are in a car turn on the ac or have a portable fan with you
Turn the defroster on. If you have a separate AC switch, turn it on also. The AC should come on with the defroster automatically, but might not. If no AC, set the vent control to outside air instead of recirculate.
as soon as the ac is turn on the cooling fan should come on if not there is a problem with that take it to a ac shop thay can find it fast ..
