You would turn it up to cool. Higher temperature is colder temperature.
 I don't know what this graph means, but I'm pretty sure it's proof that you would turn it up. |

I have more graphs if you're still confused.
A good reference point for optimal cooling is to go 10 degrees higher than what it is outside. |

I wish I had air conditioning. If I did I would turn it to the lowest temp possible, because I imagine that would feel like it does when it's a 100 degrees out and you open the freezer door. You probably don't know what that's like since you have a/c, but someday when your a/c dies you'll know how it feels.
When it's cold outside and you want your house warmer that it is outside, do you turn the heat down or up? |

If it's cold outside we turn the heat up But nevermind I know how it works now When you increase the temperature it cools less and if u turn it down it cools more but thanks for helping Can you delete this thread?? |
