English term or phrase: running on high while you’re away from your home

Install a programmable thermostat and resist the urge to override the auto settings. “Even turning your thermostat down by only two degrees can result in a significant increase your cooling costs,” said Dollihite. The programmable thermostat allows you to set the temperature adjustments to your family’s schedule, so it’s not wasting energy *running on high while you’re away from your home*.

Una forma de decirlo. Tratándose de temperaturas y de aire acondicionado, en este caso "high" es más frío. Yo evitaría la traducción literal.
