Request to limit AC use

[CatsAndDog]

There was a discussion on this topic a while ago @Peonie19 .

Excessive Electric Bill

Well, okay! My point was that there are easy, better ways to warmth without heating a room via an additional electrical source. It’s not really an issue of being ‘mean’, it’s an issue of practicality and better energy efficiency. I wouldn’t personally choose to own an electrical heater and given that I haven’t inflicted any harm on myself via a lifetime of not having one, I reckon most sitters will survive a week or two under similarly awful levels of hardship!

(ETA: was trying to add just the link of the thread, but apparently the system adds the pic of the op too. The ac-part is further down the thread.)

It depends on the type of ac, the type of house etc.

On the topic of @NMcPhee we don’t use much ac ourselves despite living in a hot, humid, tropical climate, but we do expect our sitters to use it! That does increase our electricity bill significantly, but that’s ok. We know to expect it.
