In addition to a good quality a/c, ceiling fans make a huge difference to summer comfort levels. I have them in all bedrooms & living areas in my home, & combined with curtains & external shading of windows, they significantly reduce the need for more expensive forms of cooling.

MemberLook at lots of very big, very sleek (ie: not fancied up) ceiling fans and 'night purging', window awnings and thermal curtains if you have sun coming in through windows. It really, really will work.
"High ceilings and large rooms" = lots of $ to cool with air con.

The other bonus of high ceilings is if you install a ducted fan system to the ceiling to remove the hot air out of th rooms and attic, drawing the cooler air form the southern side of the house- you will maintain a comfortable cool house. If this system is solar powered you will have a cool house for free every day.

MemberThankyou for your replies CW of NSW, cool@home and Eamon.
I appreciate your efforts.
Yes, ceiling fans and window coverings seem to be cheapest and best option.
I have recently purchased this home and doing a renovation including double glazing.
I will read your sites in depth CW.
thanks
