The hubby and I are in a perpetual debate over the following:
Please select the best choice from the options available:
To decrease the temperature in the house during the warmer months, do you ask the hubby to:
A) Turn the AC down
B) Turn the AC up
This was supposed to be my first mobiley blog on Mr. Pearl, but for some reason, it's not posting. ARGH!

I always ask hubby to turn it down...meaning colder temperature. That's only natural. Heat = up, cold = down! :)
I vote for A. However, I would never have to say anything like this to my husband. If I was not constantly readjusting the temperature from what he set it at, our house would be like 60 degrees all summer and 85 all winter and our electric bill would be $2500/month.
I say "turn up the air condition" meaning make it come on stronger. Wow, never thought of this till now...I am curious as to what you say to him...???
I say 2 things when I want the room colder:
1. Turn it down-(turn the temp down).
OR
2. Turn the AC up-(make the AC work harder).
Very tricky. I am going to ask my husband.
I randomly polled 4 more people. 3 men; 1 women.
All the men (including my husband) said to turn the AC down; while the women said to turn the AC up.
I think we have a gender gap.
My mom turns it up and dad turns it down. My temperature is having trouble adjusting
But Sydney, does up make it colder or warmer?
Turn it up so"the air" will go on at a higher temp!!
Turn it down so "the heat will go on when it is that cool in the house.
Example for air- set at 80 when leaving the house so that when it is 80 the air will turn on.
Example for heat- set at 60 so that when it is cold 60 the heat will come on.
Turn it down for cooler air and turn it up for warmer air. Ann & Kfuj are both correct.

Hi Jenn! Well, it's pretty "cut & dry" to me, no pun intended! How can there possibly be a debate on your question?
"To decrease the temperature in the house."
The obvious answer is, "What goes up, must come down." However, could it be true that "hubby" likes it hot???? Only you would know that!

I say "turn the AC down" meaning turn the temp to colder.
"Turn the heat up" to make it warmer.
I would like to clarify one thing on this debate. When Jenn tells me she wants me to adjust the thermostat, she says, "turn the air down." That makes me think that the air is on too strong and therefore wants me to turn the A/C off. She means turn the air CONDITIONER down.
Let me just leave you with this question: when you are driving on your car, and you are too warm, do you turn the fan up or down?
Solution - don't ask the hubby to turn it up or down. do it yourself...love you Jenn
Will this also depends if you have the heat or ac on...
If the heat is on and I am too warm- turn the fan down, less hot air will come out!
If the air is on and I am too warm- turn the fan up, more cool air coming out!
See how it's a perpetual debate?
I've resorted to saying "make it colder/warmer in here" :)
Yes, Kat, if you actually use this terminology when the heater is involved. When it is too cold, she says "turn the heater on". It is confusing when the room temperature is comfortable to me, and she says "turn the air down." It is either she is hot and wants the temperature down, or she is cold and wants the air to blow less.
I like Jenn's solution. Just tell me to make it warmer or cooler!
Yes Jenn and Will it may be easier to say make it warmer/colder... This is just too funny of a topic!
I sort of had to teach Scott to make the air/heat not come on when we were gone. And less frequently at night!
To decrease the temperature, you turn down the A/C. That is my opinion. However John, who happens to have more A/C experience than I, says to decrease the temperature you turn it UP thereby increasing it's cooling power. To eliminate the confusion we say "Can you turn the A/C cooler/warmer?"
i hate a/c. or artificial air. aghh
