Iceland or some shit
You don't know where your parents were born?
I got a passport for their birth country, through dual citizen ancestry. I'll go check which country it is for.
EDIT: Norway.
Usually between 25/26, sometimes turning it on then off for a bit because even set to 26 it feels too cold if it's been on for a while. Too used to Queensland weather.
23 degrees is optimal. A really hot day, 22 degrees and the thing will barely turn off. We have terrible insulation.
I set it for 27 which results in an actual temp of about 25
yep 27c semi tropics
.
So many variables:
AC system design appropriate to house
Insulation effectiveness
Location of thermostat
Accuracy / calibration of thermostat
What the inhabitants are wearing
Is it sunny or cloudy
Direction of house and exterior finish and windows25 might be perfect in my place but not in my next door neighbours.
would it be effective to put the temps at the outside temp so that you are using the least power? I try to do this and vary the temp as it goes down. eg from 29 then to 28 then 27 etc.
going up makes it warmer initially, relatively
Crikey, who are the White Walkers setting their AC to 15.
I call bs on those. A domestic AC system would be unable to sustain those temperatures on a warm day.
Doesn't mean they don't 'set' it there.
.That's true. Nothing like killing your system because you have NFI
Evap - usually fan speed 1 (of max 10). Super hot days pump it up to fan speed 3. Always plenty cold in my place.
Adelaide is nice and dry on most days. Evaporative cooling is awesome in low humidity locations.
In Adelaide, 22 and rarely turn it off for the summer. Tin roof with horrible insulation, sandstone that retains heat for days after (likewise with cold weather). We can have one of those one off mid 30 degree days followed by a 22 degree day and it still feels like a 30 degree day if we don’t have it on.
It really depends on the time of day and what the outside temp is. So 20-25.
Yeah this, usually 1-2 degree below outside temp.
I have the quirks of ours figured out finally. My first mistake was thinking the temperature it showed bore any reflection to reality.
Set to 23 degrees the outdoor unit will cycle on and off from time to time but the fan will blow constantly. This will keep the house livable up until about an outside temperature of 35 degrees. Inside that will feel like 24 degrees downstairs and 29 degrees upstairs.If I set it to 22 degrees, the outside unit would literally never switch off barring the arrival of winter. This can be handy for getting ahead of the 6pm heat which warms the house up faster than the unit can cool it down even when running on max.
If parents are coming over, then 21. They were born in Iceland or some shit and never got used to the heat. They'd set it lower but you have to draw the line somewhere. It is bone chillingly cold but once you're used to it it's not bad, and you get an even higher contrast when you step outside. Life is for the living so if that's what they want then that's what they get, so what it costs money more per day.
