I helped a buddy move this morning and when I get back to my apartment my roommate has turned the AC on. This blows my mind. It's 64 degrees outside. Open the [expletive] window.

Not to mention that the heat exchanger outside was still covered in it's winter tarp. When I saw that the air was on I immediately went out back to remove it fearing it overheating.

I try to make it a point to not turn on the a/c until June.

People survived for a long time in this world without it. I can too. Until June anyway.

Guys, it's like 95 degrees out. Turn your ac on.

It bugs me to no end when people run their A/C when it's cool outside. An open window and/or fan costs less, makes less noise, uses less energy, and generally feels nicer. That said, I've already turned the A/C on for a few minutes getting home from work some days to try and reduce the humidity a bit. The high today is already 88.

We don't live in the middle of a freaking desert.

In her defense it was raining this morning and humid as a ball sack, so opening the window may not have been a great option.

But still. If I had my druthers I wouldn't turn the AC on until July. You really don't need it here before then anyway.

We've turned it on a couple times this year. We typically do it during the day when we're not home because if it gets too hot in our house our dogs can overheat w/o water (yeah, they're spoiled dogs).

Normally once the sun goes down I'll turn the A/C back off and open the windows.

Typically I'll set the A/C at around 74 (after keeping the windows open all night) so in general the A/C never kicks on during the day since it typically never goes above that temp. Its just kind of a safety net.

My brother's ex-wife loved to crank the AC at night down to something like 62 so she could sleep snugly under her down comforter.
