Anyone else’s AC not keeping up with this heat from hell? My husband and I can’t decide if we should buy a new AC or suffer thru this uncommon heat wave. My house was at a sweltering 79 degrees today. I usually keep it at 70 during the day. Yes I WFH. Just wondering if it’s just us.

I don’t think I have a choice. My AC guy is installing a completely new AC $6500. I’m just going to finance that sucker. I can’t handle this heat.

Yikes having the same issue! My regular AC company said we needed a new central tower $4K. Someone recommend an AC repairman who charged $50 to “fix it”, it’s not running perfectly it goes up to the mid 80s when it’s in the 90s outside but we are saving 4K in this Miami economy. In the meantime, we are opening our windows and using fans for the first time in years!

Cover your windows. Look into blackout curtains.

Turn on the exhaust fan in your kitchen to drag out hot air.

Fill up a bowl of ice and place it in front of a fan. Have the fan blow air directly to you.

Wear less clothes.

Its not uncommon. It became the new common and will only get worse

Buy a new ac unit. my condo has a 3 ton unit and works great. I'm shocked you even have to think about this.. Yes the heat wave will subside, but why should you suffer until then with low cost hacks and cheap fans.

Yeah. Shocked I had to think about it? It was a huge investment right before my Summer vacay to Napa/North Cali. When it was all said and done it was 8K. So yeah I upgraded to a 5 ton and now my house is at a cool 70 degrees all day.

If you need a new unit, get it. Often times you’re not looking for more than 4500-6k for a 3b2b unit.
Efficiency will go up, along with comfort. Your WFH production will go up, thus becoming a better worker. That should yield more income simply from doing a better job.

Going through the same! It’s everyone.

What company did you use?
