    ACT rentals had the lowest average minimum temperatures at a chilly 7.4C. They were only slightly colder than rental homes in Tasmania, which tracked at an average of 7.5C degrees. The average minimum indoor temperature in Victoria was 9.8C and in NSW it was 10.5C.

    That’s the more important part. Dropping below 18°C sounds like it’s in the 15-18 range. But temps well below 10°C is another story.

    I am not sure how often these homes get close to their minimum temperature. But apparently some can’t even get their room temperature above 18°C with a heater running.
