Aside the inefficiency, surely it's not necessary to 'turn up' the AC in that case? I thought that you set a target temperature once and just leave it there?

Domestic AC is very rare in the UK so I may have misunderstood.

The temperature won't be consistent throughout the room if you have a big heat source like a fire in part of the room, so you would need to set it too a lower temperature to keep it comfortable near the fire.
