With the advent of Summer rearing its ugly head, heating up and staying cool can become a problem. Thankfully enough, most of us New Yorkers have these charming large boxes to ease the pain. But how much, is too much?
Are you constantly worrying about the Con Ed bill?
Are you worried about frying a circuit?
Does the thought of the entire grid blowing out scare you?
I've got an automatic timer on mine so that doesn't happen.
I do the timer as well. Usually set to half an before my predicted time coming home. I have yet to set up the smartphone remote, which gives more precise control, but the built in timer works good enough for me.
My b*tch my hoe. My b*tch my hoe, my hoe my b*tch. lol I don't bother with AC. By the time I get home it's usually cooled down and there's AC in the office until late, so my ConEd bill remains low.

Are you one of the lucky few who has windows placed in a way that lets a draft through the house? Or even an openable skylight?
One of the things I like about architecture in Madrid is that somehow nearly every apartment I've seen seems to allow a draft through if you open a few windows in different rooms. I'm not sure how that was engineered or if it was even intentional, but it makes a hell of a difference.
My old place used to be on the top floor of rowhouse and I had a skylight that could be opened--it was amazing!
My AC is on ONLY when I’m home and then it’s for about 2 hours then off because then I’m freezing. The highest mine has been so far is $46, I call that a win.
I keep it set to 75* during the day and 72* at night. Got a bunch of fans running 24/7 too. I am looking into haveing an attic fan and Mitsubishi units installed in the bedrooms of the top floor of my house. It just gets too hot up there no matter how low I set the temp or how I configure the vents in my house or keeping the doors to the bedrooms closed. The sun is on that side of the house all day. It's impossible for me to sleep at night.
I'm confused. Could you please explain your pointless, yet offensive, use of "hoes" and "bish"?
Is there some relevance I'm missing?
I was having fun with the title which uses hoe, and referencing a line from the Sopranos. If you see the scene, it's actually pretty damn funny.

I have a shaded area with a window for and AC unit and a balcony door. Unless it's absolutely oppressive outside, you don't need AC or a fan.
