What temperature would you like to set your air conditioner to.......and what temperature do you set it to, to save money?
22.....and 24......

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.
