Re: Aircon
oh, I have no idea...we have a weird house, all open plan downstairs and a huge hall/middlebit that goes up to the roof...one son has his AC on Alaska mode all the time, that's enough for the whole house...my bedroom has to be cold at night, 65/70ish...
I hate the draughty feeling ACs give though...

Re: Aircon
The temperature setting is often misleading - older units that employ a bimetallic thermostat will not be more accurate than a couple of degrees. Many buildings are designed with little thought as to the most appropriate position for the sensing elements.
In short, don't trust the number on the dial...

Re: Aircon
Hi All,
Ok I know this is a relatively blonde thing to ask but its really starting to do my head in. I am having a constant battle with my air con in my hotel room, its either too hot or too cold, have been sitting around in fluffy slippers and a jumper and still have goosebumps to sleeping on top of the duvet wide awake (without said slippers + jumper)and too bloody hot.
I seem to be up and down fiddling with my aircon temp but seem to be going from one extreme to another, can anyone tell me what is a comfortable temp during the day and also during the night
Thank you

But for the bedroom, we set it to freezing during teh day when we are out and then turn it off before bed. That way you get into nice cold sheets but it's nice and warm when you wake up...
