    Heating the outdoors more than cooling the indoors

    Yeah by like 400W which is peanuts compared to what the sun is doing

      Also: if a big box store with high ceilings is going to cool the entire building to 68F, I’m not going to fret over cooling my modestly-sized home.

      A typical air conditioner consumes 1kW, and on top of that heats the outside by however much the inside is cooled.

        Yeah but that heat is merely redistributed, it’s not like it’s adding to the total temperature
