JeffreyMcCollum Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Time and time agian I hear of people complaining of their electrical cost per month and say they run their A/C all the time. So I wonder what Temp. it is set at ? I come from Hawaii and find 27 is very nice for me, Just takes the edge off, but most of the time it is not needed. I leave windows open, and have ceiling fans when needed. My home is well insulated so I get no heat from above. What do you do ? and do you think it is partly because where you come from ?

giddyup Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I have been using the aircon in the bedroom lately, in the afternoons the inside temp is 34 and not comfortable for my nanna nap. I set the aircon to around 24-25 for around an hour then back it off to about 27 as it feels too cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 My mother likes 17 degree or less, I like 20 degree.....We have some very nordic blood.... My 70 year old mother walks in winter at minus 20 degree without shoes in the long shirt for sleeping without underwear thru the garden to pick up the newspaper in the morning. (since 50 years they tell her she will get sick on the female parts....). Every time she visits me in Thailand he almost dies from the heat......I, now after 1o years, have no problem without aircon on the day. Just in the night I have set it to 21.

Thanyaburi Mac, Pathum Thani Mine is the same except when the family ime it was on was at songkran.come up from Bangkok and the odd couple of hours 2 or 3 times a year to cool my son down when he has a high temperature. The last time it was on was Songkran. I actually used 16 units of electricity less last month but my bill was 199 baht more. Inflation I guess.

I'm quite happy with a fan 99% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akspace Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Seems a bit over dressed for -40C When I was just finished with highschool I did one job with my dad on the northslope, construction, it was so cold the power tools would stop working (-60F + windchill). Had to wear a warm pile jacket under the down parka. When I'm in Thailand I keep the aircon at 22, at home right now and it's 14 outside so I just opened the windows...

seasia Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hardly ever use it, don`t like it. April through June it sees a little use, set at 29 c. Have several fans, usually 1or 2 being used at any one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcharacters Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Only when I sleep, and 18c. I like it cold when I sleep. Nice and warm under the covers, but cold on the outside. 18c works fine for me all the time. Just two air cons in the house but they keep most of the place cool. Our electric bill was less than ฿1800 with the air cons running much of the day and night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaParent Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 My AC only goes to a maximum of 30C so I have to wear a sweater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Seems a bit over dressed for -40C Had to walk from the parking lot to the office at 40 below, best to run. Oh and have a long, knee length coat as when you sit in the car the seat can be a tad chilly at first. Tires take a few blocks to get "round". Office had a bank of warm batteries on a "starter trolley" for the odd people who's car battery was not quite enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry2109 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 28 is fine for me. Usually, AC runs in the afternoon and evenings in the living room an at night in the sleeping room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagwan Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 She who does the ironing doesn't care for the aircon so I sit in the fridge until I go hard. I then get a warm welcome to the connubial bed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuturatica Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hardly use the A/C but when I do it's on 26 degrees for about half an hour and then I turn it off and just use a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacktrip Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I have it but don't use it. I prefer open windows with a fan. Try it sometime, learn to like it. Your in Thailand. While your at it, have you tried doing your own laundry or cleaning your room? That is a good still to have also. Builds character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
