Weather IT'S TOO HOT!!!! - Page 7

Did as much yard work as I could last night between 7:30 and sundown, finished the rest this morning before 9:30am. It's been mid to high 90's the last couple days, and will be there again today through at least Tuesday. I just work till I get tired, then I quit. My sister wound up in the ER in St. Louis yesterday with dehydration. She passed out after doing yard work for an hour. Everybody be careful out there. What are YOU doing to stay cool this weekend?

Yes it was.

It was running when I got home at 4 PM. It was 76 degrees in the house, thermo was set to 74.

So I set it to 72. It didn't hit 72 until 1 AM.

It ran the entire fucking time.

There's something weird with that unit though because it only used 62 KWh, which is still more than I'd like, but not exorbitant.

Whatever.

No. It's a nice house in a very decent neighborhood.

The landlord is just a scum sucking opportunist.

There's a video on youtube of him yakking about how great it is to raise rents every year.

This is one of the dumbest things people think.
A Thermostat is not an accelerator. Turning it down is not going to make it cool any better or faster.

There is some truth in this post. Your filter should be clean to allow proper air flow. If your filter is dirty it will not allow enough air flow for the unit to operate properly. It can cause an indoor coil/evaporator to freeze up.
I would say to also check the cleanliness of your outdoor unit/condenser. If you cannot see through the fins on the coils of the outdoor they need to be cleaned. If those are not clean the unit cannot dissipate the heat that is necessary. Which effects its ability to cool and it efficiency. You don't have to have anything more than water and a decent spray nozzle to clean that outdoor unit. You just have to be careful not to bend the fins over on the coil.

You seem nice.
It is something that most people think though. I didn't say you thought that I just used your post as a way to make sure others know the difference.
Nice of you to be a cursing jerk though. You sure are nice.
