I NEVER use my AC at home, just a ceiling fan at night and only s few days a year. The article has a lot of inaccurate information in it and simply screws the pooch with common misconceptions.

I read enough responses here to know there probably two people who have any clue at all. Enthalpy, R factor, thermal mass, degree days, ftw.

I rarely do use my AC, only for days that are really cookin. Much nicer to have a breeze blowing through the house.

I'm living in a place without central AC for only the second time in my life. It's weird. And hot as hell this summer.

Humidity makes a huge difference too *sigh*

EDIT:
In Boston right now and a dry 95+ degree day here is much better than one in Wisconsin

By blocking the sunlight from my windows my AC costs are practically 0.

Here in Texas, last month bill little over 500 dollars, it is not the same kind of heats.

I had someone from texas who knew I was in CA hear that I said it was hot here. He sort of tried to challenge me, and asked how hot. I told him that the weather had cooled down, and it was only about 95 that week (35 for you euros)
