transplantbillsfan Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I've never had any AC. Not central. Not split. Not window units. Wife and I are finally investing in a split AC system for our house after 14 years of living together in Hawai'i without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teef Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Oh yeah. We have it. I have a wife that likes to be freezing...all...of...the ...time. It’s a source of arguments for us. We actually have two units with two different thermostats. One for the upstairs and one for the downstairs. I get ***** with on two different levels.

I could do that just as easily with ice cubes. The rest of my body would still be warm then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad and grandfather installed an attic fan in the house we grew up in. Worked great, even in a 5 BR house. My parents didn’t put central AC in that house till the early 90s, and that was primarily because they knew it was mandatory for eventually selling the house. are you my lost brother??? never had AC as a "kid" but my pops did have Central AC installed in the late 80's or early 90s otherwise in the summer you had to wear this to stay cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the central air cranked to 74° Yesterday... Had windows open. Wife chilled the house... Only got to 68°. House got to 81°, that's bearable... But doable. Thought we'd make it to middle week without having to run AC. Ooops I was wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coloradobillsfan Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I believe there are more swampers out here than a/c, due to the dry climate The main wall in my living room faces West - I have hit 90 degrees every month of the year due to greenhouse effect. Got a small window a/c unit that I affectionately call my 'cool breeze machine' because you really can't feel it unless you're right in front of it. But as soon as the sun goes down the temp drops quickly and just a window fan is all I need to be comfortable enough to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now... Today. My AC kicked on... And went off 40 minutes ago. But humidty is low. Condensay still pisses strung and A-Coil kept clean and dirt, rust free... With a good slope. I added cleanout doors to my A-Coil @ duct. On humid day... It woulf struggle to keep 74°... Which with +3°setpoint is 77°. I probably should run 75°/78°(+3° setpoint on humid days). Just my windows... BUT now, I prefer the AC to run more constant and longer. It's fan/compressor startup that is the energy draw. Running longer is better for the fan/capacitor combo.... Then all that modern high-efficiency BS on/off/on/off crap. That's what arcs the contactor and causes pre-mature wear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 On 7/6/2019 at 4:35 AM, SoTier said: My first two cars not only didn't have AC, they only had AM radios. AC in cars was a big time luxury. My parents cars didn’t have AC when I was a kid. We had a ‘72 Vista Cruiser with the auto roll down back window. That provided plenty of air while cruising on I-80 on our way to Minnesota in the summer. In in the mid-80s, my brother an I drove his ‘78 Datsun 510 from San Antonio to SF in July. No AC required. We just made sure to get through Death Valley early in the morning. As for radios, I’m sure I’m not the only one who had an FM converter in their first car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
