DOES IT ACTUALLY SAVE ELECTRICITY TO LEAVE THE HEAT ON ALL THE TIME?
Sep 8th
Question by Kelsey [Gone]:
Does it actually save electricity to leave the heat on all the time?
As opposed to having the heat come on and off periodically during the day, does it actually save the required start-up energy to leave the heat on all the time? Is it true that the energy required to begin up the heat several times a day is more than leaving it on all the time?
I’ve heard this, but I have never found any proof of this despite some searching. Does anyone have any information?
Speaking for a standard two-level, 1980′s- built home with attic and partially underground basement.

WITH CENTRAL AC, DOES IT SAVE MORE ELECTRICITY TO LEAVE THEM ON ALWAYS OR SET TO AUTO?

Question by real_ki:
With Central AC, does it save more electricity to leave them on always or set to auto?
I have a central A/C unit in a two story house.
We usually set the temperature to 80F and set the fan to “Auto” which basically turn on the fan and the cooling when temperature goes above the set temperature.
There’s also “On” setting for the fan which will keep the fan running always and I assume the cooling too maybe?(or maybe the cooling is turned on when temperature goes above the set temperature).
Which will save more electricity? Setting the fan setting to “auto” or “on”?

CAN I JUST LEAVE THE SOLAR PANEL CONNECTED TO THE CAR BATTERY?

Question by Sean:
Can I just leave the solar panel connected to the automobile battery?
I recently acquired a solar panel and charge regulator. I was hoping to use while at this week long camping/music festival thing in the summer. My friends always kill their batteries charging their phones and such. I was planning on connecting the panel and regulator to the battery with alligator clips. Can I just leave it connected all week? Would it damage anything?
