> I would test if it is worthy money wise, not energy wise, to put the A/C at full blast in the cheapest hours. Say from 4 to 6 PM (the cheapest here in Spain), to get the house as cold as possible, and then try to play with A/C at maybe 5% letting it rise until reaching 76°F at 9 PM.
Depending on how big the house is and how well insulated it is, it very well may make for a big thermal battery and this would work well.
If small and/or poorly insulated or drafty then this will not work well.
