I have my 8kW split system set to 28 degrees in summer, and for those who don't believe that's anywhere near cool enough, once Brisbane's disgusting humidity has been removed from inside the house, walking from outside to inside is akin to stepping inside a refrigerator, and at 28 degrees the running costs are substantially lower than they would be if it was set to an unnecessarily lesser temperature.

Don't just take my word for it though; try it for yourself and I think you'll be more than pleasantly surprised.

A slow adjustment also works, as you get used to the heat.

So 22, or whatever you normally like it at, couple of hot days later, 24...in a week or so 26 is feeling cool and settled in for the summer, especially if it's super-hot outside (agree with you cq, it can feel like a fridge well above 22).

And I really, really hate hot weather.

I know someone who sets their air-con to 21 in the Summer and to 26 in Winter. It's really weird.

 

Whenever I go to visit I either shiver or I sweat.

 

 

I don't have air-con, though I have ceiling fans.

 

I leave the back door and some windows open in Winter and I close them up in Summer.

 

But I'm not weird at all. 😉

 

 

 

 

how you feel depends on personal temp, some people love the heat too 🙂

don't think there's anything weird about that, winter evenings can have a lovely crispness

I lace my Staffies Chum with Garlic and Licorice and have an ice cream container full of cold bricks and charcoal

strapped to his backside.

 

After a few initial hiccups everything has been running really really smoothly since I added the "No naked flame" sign to the front door.

 

He normally runs at about 24 c.. When he gets up to 28 c or so I know he needs worming.

 

The other day I noticed him up around 30 c but I put that glitch down to the home made Salami with elpaso hot taco

sauce burrito that he stole from my lunch plate.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been trying to explain to my (first) husband that if you're going to eat your dinner using a kitchen chair as a makeshift table, just so you can watch the cricket, then you are going to lose the odd chop to a small, VERY fast apricot moodle.....

 

Swearing, and using expressions like "mongrel dog" are a total waste of time. She knows he's scared of her and there's no way on earth he could ever catch her.

Your (first) husband needs one of those cushioned plastic tray things. You can get them from K-Mart I think 🙂

Called a Stable Table.   He will love it for the Boxing Day Test
