boyst Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 It's not even over 80 outside. Just been overworked and finally slowing down and want to recover. Hell, I don't have an AC in my office (I don't use it) and it's basically a hotbox on the production floor that reaches 81F regularly. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan is this amazing.
Saxum Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 It went over 100 here. Basically all of south would be depopulated without AC.
Maury Ballstein Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Worked all afternoon, it was stupid hot. Keep that AC blasting all week
mead107 Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) After being in the ac in the tractor? Edited June 11, 2017 by mead107
RaoulDuke79 Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Yep....turned it on for the first time this year today. Been on for 3 hours and rhe thermostat went from 87 to 85. Supposed to be in the 90's for the nexr two days, soni figure its time to bite the bullet.
boyst Posted June 11, 2017 Author Posted June 11, 2017 evidently i don't know over 90, because it was over 90 and high humidity today. After I. The tractor? that ac in there is damn nice. my feet get numb and it is designed to bring the cab below 60F. amazing because its a big glass [blue]green house. Worked all afternoon, it was stupid hot.Keep that AC blasting all week i'll keep it on until ??? i'm never home or inside. i'll be in here a while.
KD in CA Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 I turn on the AC almost every day -- by opening my windows.
Chef Jim Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 I turn on the AC almost every day -- by opening my windows. Lived in CA for 35 years. Had AC I two places I think. Rarely used it either place.
Captain_Quint Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Just bought a new unit. Itll run constantly from May-September. It cost 10K and will probably only last about 10yrs around here. Last one made it 13yrs, so we'll see.
boyst Posted June 12, 2017 Author Posted June 12, 2017 I turn on the AC almost every day -- by opening my windows. i can help you wiht a photo of your place vs my place. hint. see ppp where i helped jimbo. Just bought a new unit. Itll run constantly from May-September. It cost 10K and will probably only last about 10yrs around here. Last one made it 13yrs, so we'll see. my sister in ohio just replaced the one we had in that house growing up since 1988. this house had it last from 98-2016
Augie Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 We just replaced our AC (and furnace) for the first floor a few weeks ago. It was about $8,000, but we use the hell out of it! It was limping, and the wife couldn't handle the thought that it might kick the bucket. I will open up the house every single day I can, but if it's mid 80's and up or 95% humidity? That's what money is for.....to make life better.

Last one made it 13yrs, so we'll see. It's a sealed system... Mine is going on 22 years old. Just change contactors, etc.... Keep fins clean, oil fan motor e every couple years, etc... I even added access to A-coil to keep clean. What doesn't last for you? Scroll compressors are work horses. It was 95 today & we cool to 74 or so. The thing is always running from June to August. Now I will jinx it! ;-)

Now I will jinx it! ;-) First thing to go is the fan, those last about 5-8yrs, but easy to replace with an aftermarket fan. After that, the blower, then the coils. Keep in mind that mine has no attic transfer, and everything is outside (blower, coils, etc). Its a 6 ton split unit, so gas heat, electric AC. The main issues: salt, sand, humidity, heat. I technically need a second unit (based on sq footage), but Id rather replace than repair, and Im not replacing 2 units.
plenzmd1 Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Lived in CA for 35 years. Had AC I two places I think. Rarely used it either place. My AC will basically be on 24/7 from now through last week of September.
CowgirlsFan Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 AC?? What's that? It will be your best friend should your move go through.
Chef Jim Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 It will be your best friend should your move go through. Well it looks like Palm Springs may be out for now and Orange County may be in.
CowgirlsFan Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Well it looks like Palm Springs may be out for now and Orange County may be in. YEP...the breeze off of the Pacific would be better but you could still need random use of A/C.
