If it's an older mechanical thermostat, no, you're not using ANY energy if the AC compressor and fan are not on. The newer, electronic thermostats use such an incredibly small amout of energy that it's not worth mentioning, but you also can't say it isn't using ANY.

Why does propane work better as a refrigerant in a air conditioning system?

Propane has a lower boiling point and higher heat absorption capacity compared to traditional refrigerants like R-22. This allows it to more effectively cool the air in an air conditioning system, leading to better energy efficiency and cooling performance. Additionally, propane is more environmentally friendly as it has zero ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential.


What causes the water temperature to rise when the car is turned off after running?

A certain amount of the energy carried by the cooling water, is kinetic energy, from the circulation through the cooling system. When the engine is turned off, the water stops circulating. The kinetic energy contained in the water is converted to heat, thus raising the temperature of the coolant.


Why should you use an electric bill calculator?
