Are there any HVAC experts here?
Our vacation home has central AC. I don't know why the original owners built the house with it, but we wouldn't miss it. We've owned the house for almost six years and have run the AC maybe four times.
Last year I ran the AC one night when it was extremely humid. I figured it was a good idea to run the unit at least once a year. If I'm correct, that it is a good idea to run the unit and get things moving, tonight might be the night we run the AC for this year. It's kind of sticky and only cooling down to 69 tonight.
So what would an expert tell me? Is it better to let the unit sit unused for perhaps years on end, or should we crank it up at least once a year?
