Are A/C units really responsible for 50% of cabin energy consumption?

I own a town cabin that is wedged between 2 other townhouses. And though all the people might love an end unit, I like living in the middle unit because it makes me feel safe plus protected, however for instance, if a big storm hits, my cabin will be more protected than the cabin on the end. Also, I am less exposed to the traffic in the street; Living in between 2 houses can also have its downsides. For one, if the neighbors were loud and noisy that could become aggravating. Thankfully, I have really quiet neighbors on both sides. They are quite quiet and the only noise I ever hear is the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C unit when I am in the yard. The neighbors’ Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C units cycle on a lot more than my unit does. And they are never in sync because as one cycles off the other will cycle on, then my indoor thermostat is set at 68 degrees which is the recommendation of the US Department of Energy. It’s obvious to me that my neighbors have their thermostats set at lower uneven temp. If I am resting in the yard for an hour, their Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C units will cycle on plus off at least twice in that span of time. Mine will cycle on once and maybe not at all. I use my Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C conservatively because it conserves a lot of energy and saves me currency on my utility bill. After all, the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C unit is the single highest consumption of energy in most homes! Based on the information that I learned from my local utility company, my Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C is responsible for 50% of my power consumption, so, it just makes sense for me to run my Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C less. If only the neighbors knew to do the same, they would save currency on their utility bills as well.
