Re: How high is high for airconditioning?
Even though it is 72 degree's outside I have my a/c on, not because I am hot but because the humidity is high and for some reason high humidity sometimes gives me sinus headaches. And the temp outside does not make a difference for my sinus headaches. I woke up this morning and did not have a sinus headache, but as soon as I opened my door and stuck my head outside to check the weather my face started to hurt. Sometimes in the winter I have to put the a/c just for this reason and it can be 30 degrees outside. But on the same token we also use our ceiling fans and regular fans to help keep the house cool. We also use the expensive air filters (I have both allergies and asthma). During the summer the filters are vacuumed once a week and hand washed at least once a season depending how dirty they are. Yes we pay a bit more for them but they filter out more allergens and I think they are worth the money. I also have a few plants because I checked the EPA website (think that was the website) and it had a list of plants that are really good at filtering the air of allergens. No I don't run my a/c 24/7 only when it out or humid outside and yes I do do other things to help keep the a/c bill down.
