Air conditioners have changed the face of Australian summers forever. No longer are we forced to endure the sweltering summer heat with no reprieve other than an afternoon thunderstorm. At last our homes are a haven rather than a hot box!

In the late afternoons our bedrooms felt like a sauna and we would open every window in the hope that a late afternoon breeze would bring some reprieve.

More often than not, we continued to swelter into the night, finally lying down on an uncomfortably hot bed dreaming of cooler months to come. Happily, those days are a thing of the past and the dreams of an air-conditioned oasis in summer are now a comfortable reality.
