By using a fan, I can crank up the window A/C thermostat to 82F. Since we have a small apt, I turn the A/C up to 88 or so during the day, then it only takes about 15 min to cool back down again. I also keep the curtains closed during the day (or at least the dark green sheer curtains) to keep out the warming sunlight, which keeps our apt much cooler. I shut off the bedrooms when not using them, so the A/C only cools the rooms we're in.

Does anyone know if it's really worth the energy savings to unplug the appliances you use every day?
