I don't use my AC much from 9:00 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon, despite temps in the high 90s and 100s on occasion here in N. Mississippi.

Using a programmable thermostat, I set the high at 78 during the day, then down to 74 in the late afternoon. At 9:30 PM, it starts down, a degree or two at a time, to a low of 68 at midnight. The unit runs several times overnight, but it doesn't have to beat the heat of the day.

Using this approach, I hardly ever have the AC turn on during the daytime.

It might save you some money.
