My energy conservation plan takes a somewhat different tack. I blast the air conditioner day and night in order to keep the female residents comfortable and content. That also serves a second purpose: to reduce the sometimes unwieldy balance in my checking account.
For my air conditioning I have a split ductless system, otherwise known as Mr. Slim. I run my A/C constantly all summer long. I might have cracked a $50 electric bill once or twice during the Summer, but only when it’s really hot for a long time.
Ah, you must have several daughters. I know the feeling. Had two daughters myself and the key to MY happiness and peace of mind was keeping them and their mother comfortable.
