I'm trying not to use the aircon too much, had an enormous water & electricity bill for December, more than double! We were busier than normal, but also with families coming, it's more cooking showering, ironing, aircon on the coldest setting blowing on high. I have to keep reminding some guests to close windows when they have it on, and to turn it off when they go out! So annoying, but, fortunately, that's mostly when it's holiday guests. I take the aircon remotes away in winter ever since seeing a Google review - 'their aircons are so nice and warm' - well, I was furious, putting it on heat!!! Our winters really don't warrant heaters!
