Weather is showing very bipolar.
One day 79 the next 60 at night could go down to 40.
I have central but I can't set both it's either or.
What are you doing?

Do you have a baby that can switch for you if needed?

You should really get nest then. It’s a game changer.

A thermostat you can control via your phone and you can set to heat+cool, set a schedule and many other features

I’ll be leaving ac on a high temp like 72-73

FTR- asking a toddler to do muktzah stuff is not so simple. I was told it isn’t allowed so ask you LOR

Maybe put on one or two rooms with AC so if it gets really hot you can go in them.

I'm leaving central air A/C on 72 or 73 so if it gets hot out the A/C will kick in and if the house stays below that it will keep quiet.

Ac for sure it’s not getting cold enough for heat. And if the house is cool the ac won’t turn on.

Why are you so sure it won't get cold enough for heat? It's been pretty cold at night until today.

The house doesn't get so cold from 1 night. It takes 2 days of cold for our home to start feeling it in the bricks.

Neither
If it's hot we'll open windows
If it's cold we'll close them.
Best time of year

Neither. Close the windows on that one cool night, open them when it's warmer.

Heat is set on hold at 67 so if it gets really cold, we won't freeze. With the oven staying on for three days, I doubt it'll even kick in. We're not setting AC for one day of a few hours of heat.
