This question has to do with the heater also but I am framing it around the central air conditioning to KISS.

DW and I have had a running "feud" over the efficiency of leaving the AC on during the day when no one is at home, or the person at home does not want the AC on, verses switching the AC off during the day (6AM) and cranking it up around 5PM or so to cool down the place for the evening.

I have not seen any studies on which is a better (cheaper) procedure but if one has been done, I'll bet that someone on this forum has seen the study or has an opinion on "yes or no", "good or bad", "it makes no damn difference what so ever".
