Is your AC on?

Anonymous
Ours has been on on and off for a month. My dh used to fight it like his dad, some weird source of pride vs the $50 a year they would save on the bill. Now it’s so much more bearable than when dh was fighting it—even he agreed.

74 AC?

Your house must be unbearable.


Umm, 74 is perfectly reasonable, maybe slightly on the high end but perfectly normal. Ours changes from 71-74 depending on how cold/hot I am at the moment. Nightime is always 68 year round (whether heat or a/c).

I wish! I think something needs fixed and so we are without AC. Ugh

Yeah. I did that until perimenopause. My thermostat is set at 75F, which I think is reasonable. Sorry, not sorry.

Yes. We turned it on yesterday. Or maybe the day before, I can't remember.

There’s no on/off. The thermostat is set at a few different numbers at points in the day and the system keeps the temps in that range. I’m sure the AC kicked on sometime in March for the first time.

I don't have AC, but if I did, yes. Unless my apartment feels like a meat locker, it's uncomfortable for me.

Put on the dehumidifier and ceiling fan. Our house is brick and stays cool for a few hot days. Hoping to wait on AC

Yes. For a month.

Ceiling fans are still ok for us. We gave them in every room
