AIR CONDITIONING IN THE SYDNEY SUMMER HEAT

As the summer heat and humidity continues in Sydney, at least for the next week, air conditioning is working overtime. An air conditioner, however, only addresses half of the issue of a stuffy house. A correct air conditioning setting is frequently ignored during Australia’s hot summers. In this article we will examine the ideal temperature and the rationale behind setting it.

W‍hy is setting the right temperature important for air conditioning in Sydney?

Improved Air Quality.
The summer heat can cause headaches as well as asthma and respiratory conditions. Setting the temperature of your home to an ideal level will improve air quality and reduce these triggers.

Less Humidity.
Leave the humidity outside and reduce the humidity indoors by running your air conditioner at a moderate temperature. No sticky sweat inside!

Mental Well-Being.
We all know that when we are hot and bothered we feel lethargic and without energy. In the perfect temperature that can be achieved with your air con, your physical and mental well being is so much better.

What is the most cost efficient temperature setting?

The ideal temperature is dependent on each person’s preferences and needs; there is no “one size fits all” approach. As a guide, it should be between 23 and 25 degrees Celsius. It will take some trial and error to get the ideal air conditioning temperature. It’s crucial to take into account your priorities when it comes to comfort, cost-cutting, or a combination of the two.

When determining what temperature to set your Sydney air conditioning system at throughout the summer, take into account your health, the number of people in your home, and the amount of direct sunlight entering your property.

What is the ideal temperature to get a good night’s sleep?

The temperature you prefer to sleep in is an individual preference. It can even be different to your partners! But when setting your air con for the overnight haul, you need to consider the temperature outside. If it is not that hot, perhaps think about opening a window or turning on a fan. But if you like it cooler, especially during the hot and humid Sydney summer evenings, your air conditioner should be set 1 – 2 degrees lower the the temperature outside.
