Who else lives in Louisiana and is watching their A/C lose the battle today?

You’re bout to end up like the other baw and have your shite freeze up and need serviced.

Yep, here too

I have it on 75 but it’s 77 in the house

We slept in the living room last night bc it’s the coolest room (no windows)

Cozy 68 in my house

Mine has been like that for most of the past month. Next week is going to be worse

Call your electric company and see if they’ll do an energy audit, I did that and got a bunch of free stuff including some extra attic insulation installed.

If they won’t fix your stuff for free they will probably give you a reduced rate on stuff like blown-in insulation. They quoted me half of what the insulation company did. Insulation company wanted $1,200 and the electric company contractor was about $600.

My A/C is running continually and can't get the house below 75. Thermostat is set at 72.

Sounds like it's doing pretty well. 3 degrees off in this kind of weather ain't terrible.

It's 105 here, I'm set on 72 with the house at 75 right now. Had a new unit put in last year. The old one would probably be carrying 77-78 in these Temps.

I hear you. 75 is fine with me. I am hearing it from the wife with the first world problem.

It's still blowing cool, but it's a knife fight with the sun today.

I gave the coils a good pre-rinse, then a liberal squirt through all the micro channels with Simply Green, let is stew for fifteen minutes, followed by a steady rinse couple Wednesday evening.

Sucker feels like it’s output doubled.

Heads up, baws
Don’t forget to do it.

I think that a big problem is that A/C units aren’t rated to reflect extremes like we’re having. If it’s running constantly and still can’t keep up, common sense would say that you need a bigger unit. That probably wouldn’t be necessary outside of these extreme conditions.
