My Air Conditioner and my Electric Bill? My house has no shade cover. Up until about noon-1:00 p.m. it...

My house has no shade cover. Up until about noon-1:00 p.m. it could be pretty nice beside just open window but after then the heat starts building. At going on for 3:00 it could be 10 degrees or more in the house than it is outside.
My query is this. Is it more economical to keep the AC on all time or to wait until I really need it at lunchtime and then put it on?

All day will hold on to the house at a steady temp but when I really need it will have to drop the house temp 3 - 5 degree for starters.

Thanks!
Does anyone know how a Carbon Monoxide Detector...
Answers:    The best thing you can do is to put a shade, plywood or anything at least 12" above your part to let it cool better and yes, turn it on only an hour past you really need it.
Turn it off whenever you can stand to and run a small lover directly on yourself as much as possible inatead of the air conditioner.
Also, don't overcool, if you need a blanket or sheet, it is too cool and the compressor is consumption more electric.
Running a ceiling fan is also a good passageway of not having to overwork your air conditioner.

I want to back but i don't know how large your unit is or how elderly.
I recently had to buy two strange units and have to vote the new ones are really designed like the space shuttle they work great dropped my electric bill and it be worth buying the Maytag from Home Depot and the Friedrich (spelling in doubt from P.C. Richards in N.Y.S. the technology on this is beyond belief even the G.E.'s i bought contained by 2005 helped cut down my bill.
If only they made cars as appropriate as the newer A/C's and refrigerators.
my bill dropped with each one lately my one new refrigerator from Sears has cut my bill by 40.00 a month.
The A/C's own cut it even more for the heating season and the florescent lights have cut us to the bone i live contained by a home with 5 A/C's and a new refrig and my bill have gone down in spite of the high electric rates and we own the highest rates in the nation, per kilo watt.
