Whatever it stays at. No one here has AC.
What about heating?
In America only the houses in Los Angeles don’t get AC because their weather’s pretty good all year.
finns use hearth
Don't have AC
Radiators. They are turned off during summer.
when we hit 31celsius it gets pretty unbearable in my room, i get it down to 17 before i turn it off.
I can’t believe Denmark gets that hot
hehe.
Right now, 21°C, later in the afternoon it's probably gonna reach 28-32°C in here..
Like the Finn said, no AC here.
All of last month we had brutal heat outside here, my house was at a boiling 35-40°C around the clock for weeks.
I have a couple fans but they don't really help.
I wish I could have around 17°C in here like I do in winter. It's perfect.

>>What Temp do you keep your house in summer?
I don't really keep anything, it just stays at around 17-22°C in my apartment. No air conditioning but really thick medieval stone walls. In winter I turn on the wood stove and crank the temperature up to 25°C.
Just buy a portable AC my frendz. You get one for under 3000 sek on Netonnet or something.
Arizona here. I keep the house at a constant 64F, or about 17.8C. You might think that's extreme, but if the power fails, and I shut the door, my house take almost 3 days to reach the ambient outdoor temperature, due to aggressive insulation. Our record high temperature is 126F/52.2C, so that can be important. There was a night when the LOW temperature was 102/38.9C, so it's important to cool the house 24 hours per day. It's somewhat expensive, but with the insulation, it's not as bad as you'd expect. All of my windows are 15cm thick with double-panes, for example. This makes a difference.
My bedroom is in the east so I wake up sweating. Living room is in the west so I sweat until the sun sets. When I keep my windows open to get some ventilation I get shitloads of mosquitoes that eat me alive during the night.
I don't know if I hate or love the summer.
>You might think that's extreme
No, that's the recommended bedroom temperature here in Sweden.
>I don't know if I hate or love the summer.
Same. I love fishing, drinking beer by the lake and all that but I miss snow and ice.
>I get shitloads of mosquitoes
Hmmm...
Fun fact, bug net's are just as uncommon as AC's here. No idea why. I tried finding some for my house but failed, no store had any here.
I have pretty weird windows that can't fit any screens or I would have to keep them open always. The nights still get pretty cold here so that isn't a nice option either.
My windows open outwards and inwards at the same time, those don't work.
You don't actually need a screen; you just need a roll of net. You can staple/glue/tape it to your window and use scissors to make the correct shape.
Jesus fuck do you live in a closet? My electric bill is like 250 in the summer for my single story 3 bed house when I keep it at 74.
>My electric bill is like 250
Per month or week?
My electric bill for my 3 bedroom house costs me like 480 USD per month... No AC. And that's not winter when we have the heaters on...
i keep all windows open during summer so the temperature is the same as outside. i have no idea what that is tho
They are these double glass windows so I would have to staple it in the outside wall. I live too high up to make an effort to do that.
I just use a small fan in the summer. Run it all day, all night, whenever it's warm. I love a breeze on my skin.
My current fan has lasted for two years. It'll probably crap out at some point.
We don't have whole house AC like in the US. ACs only in bedrooms and that too only upper middle class and above.
I live in an old apartment building on the seventh floor so I can also keep windows open half a year or more.
With new buildings they the bastards say you shouldn't even keep the windows open because the mechanical ventilation doesn't work right. Fuck that.
Northern part of S. Korea
18c
I don't wanna keep fanning and sweating even when I'm in my own house in summer.
I have windows like pic related so I keep them open as much as possible. But I get mosquito bites every night..
The temperature in here goes from between 18 to 30+ degrees C.
Per month.
>480 USD a month for electricity
Goddamn. Is electricity that expensive in Sweden? I would have to start a grow op in my house to have an electric bill like that.
480 and 250 USD electricity bill PER month?
FUCK
Great lakes
68 degrees
>not every household having ACs When I first visited India, it felt really strange that they didn't usually have ACs(even if they did they seldom used it probably in the fear of high bills) and instead always used fans attached to ceilings. And most hotels charged extra fees for using AC or rooms with ACs were twice more expensive than those with only fans. I never saw something like this outside India.. What a strange country huh
>Is electricity that expensive in Sweden?
Yes. Taxes, environmental reasons etc.
It sucks as a house owner. Which is why I heat my house with firewood in winter and the same reason 90% of private homes don't have AC's.
Whatever temperature it'll be. Never seen AC in a residential house in Germany. If it's the warmest weeks of the year you simply make sure to vent your home with fresh air in the morning and then keep the windows closed until the evening, or get a good draft from the cool side of the house to the warm side of the house going. Absolute worst case you'll need to have a fan running in your bedroom overnight. Still beats spending thousands on air conditioners and a hundred bucks a month on running them through summer.
How old is this?
Haven't seen any hotels not running ACs 24/7 let alone charging extra
Firewood is patrician.
The last time I went to India is around 2012 so like 6 years ago. I didn't stay at 5-star hotels and mostly stayed at cheap local hotels or dorms though
>cheap hotels or dorms
>dorms
Maybe that's why.
How cheap are we talking about?
Even the 1-2 stars have ACs
I actually prefer staying in cheap hotels and traveling with shitty local transportation when abroad.
Since it's more than half a decade ago, I can't remember their prices well but even if every hotel had ACs in them, there were rooms that only had a fan attached to the ceiling. It struck me as really odd that I had to pay extra to get an AC room since in most other countries, rooms with an AC are pretty common and taken for granted.
Same.
Ikr. But in India every public transportation is shitty, stinky, uncomfy and filthy by international or the 1st world standards. I mostly traveled with limited express trains called Rajdhani express and they were far worse than the worst trains I could ever use in South Korea. I'm pretty fond of India but not their transportation. Delhi metro was just fine since Japan designed and built it relatively a short time ago.
All I have is a fan that I occasionally use to move the air around.
I don't "keep" the temperature at anything.
When I visited Egypt I used the shittiest trains and buses possible. Every other tourist traveled with police patrols because of terrorist threat. I don't know why but being uncomfortable is somewhat refreshing.
how the fuck do you afford that I keep mine between 76-78 (24°kilometers for you euros)
t. nevada
put a net up on the inside part of the window
In winter, no less than 17°C.
In summer, when it is higher than 27°C inside I put the AC an hour or two before going to sleep. that's all.
