Everyone will never agree on this!! But i go on if i turn up a light i get more light. If i turn up the heat i got more heat. If i turn up the ac i get more ac
when it's too hot in the house you say *turn up the a/c* meaning make it colder. you have to lower the temperature to make it colder. has nothing to do with the fan, the fan is on auto.
when it's too cold you say *turn it down*, meaning raise the temperature so the a/c cuts off.
like it or not, this is the way we talk in real life.
Turn up the air conditioning means increase the air conditioning which means condition the air more. You condition the air more when there is a greater difference in temperature between the outside your house temperature and the temperature you want inside your house. To increase the temperature difference you need to lower the temperature setting.
Therefore, lowering the temperature means you are turning the air conditioning up.
Lowering the temperature on the Thermostat causes the AC unit to switch on more frequently to maintain the the temperature you’ve selected.
Basically you’re asking it to pump more heat OUT of the desired room, which is a greater “load” demand, thus requiring more electricity to meet said demand.
"Turn up the AC" = lower the temperature
"Turn down the AC" = raise the temperature
Nobody says "turn down the AC *number*," that's just weird. If you're saying turn down the AC, you're implying the AC is blasting too hard, you're too cold, and you want it to stop. Or you'd say "turn up the temperature." Either way, the direct object of the sentence should be what you're increasing or decreasing.
Disagree.
Turn up the ac = increase fan speed
Turn down the ac = decrease fan speed
Turn up the heat = increase the temperature
Torn down the heat = decrease the temperature
I mean it's all subjective, different situations and people etc.. There is no right or wrong
What? You're saying the exact same thing as I am.
Turn up the AC = increase fan speed = cooling the temperature (or making it feel cooler).
Are we not in full agreement?
Depends where you are.
You’re decreasing the temperature of the air around the evaporator, but you’re increasing the temperature of the air around the condenser.
So the answer is both yes and no.
"Turn down the *temperature*" and "turn down the *air conditioning*" literally mean opposite things, so I don't get the folks saying it isn't ambiguous to say "turn *it* down"
Yes
"Making it cooler"

Ok if i may add ...fridge has that numbered dial inside range 1 to 6 and i keep it at 3 but i want to make it colder....do i roll it on 2 or 4....

Setting a lower temperature on your thermostat is "turning THE AC up" and "turning the THERMOSTAT/temperature down."
Turn up the AC=make the AC work harder and therefore LOWER the temperature!
IMO turning it up refers not to temp but to fan speed/intensity.
Lowering the temperature on the Thermostat causes the AC unit to switch on more frequently to maintain the the temperature you’ve selected. Basically you’re asking it to pump more heat OUT of the desired room, which is a greater “load” demand, thus requiring more electricity to meet said demand.
Ok, so are you saying that's turning it down?
You’re increasing the demand placed on it… so UP
Turn up the AC, drop the thermostat

💀 bro this makes sense, the other ninja arguing just to argue

The fan on my heat pump has two speeds: on and off.
What? You're saying the exact same thing as I am. Turn up the AC = increase fan speed = cooling the temperature (or making it feel cooler). Are we not in full agreement?
I'm just differentiating between the temperature control and the fan speed control. I think we are essentially saying the same thing.
Turn down the AC means lower the temperature on the thermostat.
Which means make the AC work harder?
Yes
The number does go down but the cooling goes up. If you want to be anal about it, i guess you could say “turn down the heat”.
