Depending on the Aircon type, it's generally inefficient to turn it on and off. Set it to 24-25c and let it run so it can cool the room down and maintain the temp instead of having to run flat out all the time to cool a hot room down.Big Kev wrote:Hot water bottle in the freezer is good. 1/3rd full, let the air out and freeze it. Stays solid and cold for hours. Then you can sit on the sofa with it behind your neck, under your feet, under one arm etc. Just needs something around it like a tea towel to dull off the chill a bit. You can also lay it on the bed 20 mins before you're going in there and you have a lovely cool patch to lie in.
I got an aircon unit last winter. Best money I've ever spent. No point trying to buy one now as they'll all be sold out so I got it in January when the stores had loads. You just need to do a bit of research with measuring the room size and working out the BTU's you need to get enough cooling. Just by way of example, on the really hot Monday I got home from work and my living room was 29.5C. After 40mins with the aircon on blastic 18C air in to the room it was down to a much more pleasant 26.8. Then I just kept running it on and off for 5 mins or so when ad breaks were on the TV to keep it nice during the evening.
Inverter type ACs are more energy efficient and generally the norm these days.
