Good news! He got mad at me and called me pampered when I refused to let him turn off the AC completely for the month of August, explaining “it will be cold enough”
The electric bill came back and it’s $315 for just me and my one roommate. AITA for not agreeing with him that we should turn off the ac completely in middle of July to save money? I’m trying to compromise by setting the temp higher and turning off auto.

NTA. Tell him (more nicely than me) he’d be a fucking idiot to turn it all the way off. You’d create a much bigger problem for yourselves. Especially if you live somewhere truly hot and it gets up to the 90s or higher inside. Appliances and electronics could break. Humidity could cause mold and warped furniture. Food would spoil. Your refrigerator would work harder and take more energy. Not to mention your own health. Compromise by setting to high 70s plus some fans or window unit if necessary
