as a result of a long talk decades ago with a pal who is a heating specialist in the UK.. I learned the timing heating is a mistake. so coming on an hour before u get e etc etc. the thing is its cheaper to MAINTAIN a temperature than slog a system to get there from cold, heating first the wals, floor, furniture air and then finally you
so as an experiment here, in a decent sized house with modern ac units.. i and two pals elsewhere tried the test for a month in the hot season. my bills went DOWN with ac on 24/7 set at 25. ( one pal went up as his house has crap insulation)
In the Uk hositpals are told to heat at 22-23 degrees. so when Mum was really fragile, I set her house to that. Home until this past weekend I had the same there and was comfy, despite coming from here. Here in Thailand, am happy with the cool house and best of all, of course, ac dehumidifies. if you ever check the water output from a single ac unit you will be amazed.. pints and pints per day. that otherwise is in the bedding, wardrobes etc.
