Usually 20 or 21, but we find the ducted air con eats up the electricity. Should have got split systems.

wow people like to cool down to 20 -24 no wonder you use so much power,

thats where I like it in winter,

if the aircon maintains a temp below 30 I am happy and dress accordingly

I was told by experts that 24 uses less power, any colder to start and it really races throught the power.

I try to follow the recommendations ie

Generally the best temperature to set your air conditioning to is around 24 - 25°C in summer and 17 - 19°C in winter.

Sometimes I have it a degree lower in summer.

our school saves $400,000 a year in electricity by turning the aircon on at 10.45 on the lower floor and only turning the top floor on at 9.30. They set it to 26

a school with aircon...what luxury.

It seems that the a/c expertss agree with this cut and paste. Interesting that a decrease increases the cost.

• 22-24C is the most efficient temperature range to run your air-conditioner at during Summer. Each 1C decrease can add as much as 10% to your cooling costs. - They also advise to swich it on early before the temperature starts to rise.

We have a split system air conditioner and it is set at 24 deg. in summer.

In winter we have gas ducted heating set at about 20deg.

I've just made a batch of mango sorbet (I was born in Rockhampton and was shattered to find, when I moved to Brisbane, that not everyone had a couple of trees growing mangoes the size of rockmelons in the backyard), and champagne sorbet - a scoopful of each in a bowl, enjoyed with a glass of champagne on a warm day, is most refresshing I find.
