kandylane asked:
Ok if you have the heater on and you are cold you say “Turn the heater up” If you are too warm with the heater on you say, “Turn the heater down.”
Ok if you have the heater on and you are cold you say “Turn the heater up” If you are too warm with the heater on you say, “Turn the heater down.”
But what about this,
If you have the air on and you are too cold do you say “turn the air down” or “turn the air up”
If you have the air on and you are still hot do you say “turn the air up” or “turn the air down”
its so confusing, what is the proper way to say it?

If the air is on and you are still cold you turn the air up to a higher temperature, that way the air conditioner wont kick back on until the room reaches the new temperature you set it at.
Turn up the heat if you are cold.
Turn down the heat if you are hot.
Turn down the AC if you are hot.
Turn up the AC if you are cold.
Simple.
Set it on 73 degrees and leave it alone
Ok the confusion lies in what we are referencing. The correct terminology should be to turn the thermostat setting up or down. So therefore you are setting the set point or desired temperature target to a higher temperature or lower temperature. So if you want to be hotter turn it up, colder turn it down.
If you are cold with the air on and want it warmer, you say turn the air down, if you are still too hot, you say turn the air up.
