Have you turned your A/C on yet?

[Gracie Dean]

I wanted a few weeks without a gas/electric bill but it is just really humid. We broke down and turned our A/C on today

[CoMoChief]

June thru late Sept is when I have mine on.

[Gracie Dean]

I could live with that, but hubby is a bit bigger than me and said if he couldn't sleep, he was going to turn it on in the middle of the night. I told him go ahead and turn it on. It was rather humid and stuffy in the house today

[Miles]

A few weeks ago for the first time this year.

Nope, but all I have is a wall unit. Not too effective, so it's a last resort. Usually just leave windows open and fans on. Also have a pool to jump in if things get out of hand.

[Bane]

Almost did today,but it cooled off just in time.

[gblowfish]

Yes. Just added a new American Standard system last summer. Cranked right up. Aaaahhh....

[RJ]

Yes. When it gets hot I turn it on. That's why I have it.

Is the Central Air unit shaped like a toilet?

["Bob" Dobbs]

Turned it on today.

I think hubby would turn it on in March. I like to wait until June, but we have to get up SO early 5 AM that we really need to be able to sleep and not toss and turn

[teedubya]

Yes. When it gets hot I turn it on. That's why I have it.

This. If it's hot. It's on.

[gblowfish]

Whatever works, dude.
Swirly mode is the best.

[MIAdragon]

mine never goes.

[DeezNutz]

Yes. When it gets hot I turn it on. That's why I have it.

LMAO.

As needed, my AC has been on since March. If that means AC during the day, heat at night, so be it.

[milkman]

Where I live, I don't need one.

[BWillie]

I turned it on a few weeks ago for a few days. It's probably going to be on indefinitely now. Here comes $300 electric bills! Yay

[Gracie Dean]

Where I live, I don't need one.

where is that?

[tyler360]

No way. Gotta tough it out a little longer. Just sit around naked with the fan on.

[DeezNutz]

Where I live, I don't need one.

Yep. AC isn't going to do shit in hell.

[chiefsfan987]

Where I live, I don't need one.

No kiddin. It was only in the mid 50's today out here.

[DaneMcCloud]

My A/C is off and on all year. It's on more in the summer months but we've had more than a few 85 degree days since February.

Why do you ask?

[Bugeater]

Same here.

[milkman]

where is that?

Grover Beach, Cal, a couple of hours north of Santa Barbara.

[stlchiefs]

Today. Got tired of the wife complaining yesterday so I gave in today.

[milkman]

Yep. AC isn't going to do shit in hell.

Yep.

It's hell livin' by the beach.

[bevischief]

Not yet but getting very close... Most years we can tough it till at least a couple weeks to the 4th of July.

[Spott]

Been on since the beginning of last month, right about the same time I started swimming in the pool.

[Pablo]

Not yet but getting very close... Most years we can tough it till at least a couple weeks to the 4th of July.Fuck that.

If it's 80+ degrees outside and it isn't breezy; the A/C is getting turned on. There are a few things in life you can tough out, but when I'm at home I like to be comfortable.

[rockymtnchief]

No. It's snowed here the last two nights.

[DeezNutz]

Yep.

It's hell livin' by the beach.

neg. rep.

sucker punch.

[warpaint*]

Mine went on for the first time yesterday. Came back from my morning round and it was 85 inside the house.

[luv]

It got up to 80-something in here before I decided to. It's nice now. Patio door open and the fan on.

[milkman]

neg. rep.

sucker punch.

So......DeezNutz belong to Frankie?

[DeezNutz]

So......DeezNutz belong to Frankie?

owned? :eek:

[petegz28]

Turned ours on yesterday. It wasn't too bad but the humidity in the house was becoming too much to handle. We had all the windows open and fans going and I finally said fuck it when the inside thermometer reached 86 and 70% humidity.

[TrebMaxx]

Couldn't take it anymore and just turned it on.

[HoneyBadger]

mine never goes.

Never goes... on or off?!

Your post has left me puzzled.

[Renegade]

Mine went on today, humidity was the determining factor

[petegz28]

The thing that sucks about turning on the AC is the whole heating up and cooling down of the house. I love the fresh air so once it cools down some, like in the morning I will shut it off and open up the house. Then once the house heats up I will crank the AC on and shut the house up. But then the AC has to cool down the house, which is harder on your AC unit. I know a few people that once they turn it on it stays on to keep the house at a constant temp for the entire summer. They claim it is cheaper and easier on the AC. I believe that but I get tired of not having fresh air breeze through the house.

[RedNFeisty]

My a/c runs year round, the bedrooms are upstairs, they get warm taking away my ability to bundle up in the covers.

I use to get my butt chewed out for having the air on and the doors open...lol

[keg in kc]

Mine's been on for weeks, and now that it was finally hot today, it's not working. 78 in my apartment right now. Have the windows open, hoping it will cool off enough in the next 3-4 hours that I'll be able to sleep. I can't sleep if it's over 70.

[Psyko Tek]

mines been on and off for the last 2 months
right now windows open and fan running

it's sorta cold her

I live in Mesa, AZ

it's a cold day in hell,
suns beat the lakers

[KC Jones]

No A/C - and no need for it. Temps generally 30 degrees overnight here in Denver, so an attic fan running through the night is all you really need. Still, there can be 2 weeks or so of the year that are uncomfortable.

[Buck]

Nope, probably won't have to until late June or early July.

[Earthling]

Western Colorado and everyone here uses swamp coolers (evaporative coolers). The low humidity here lets them work extremely well and ours has been on for about the last month or so.

[Omaha]

Yes. When it gets hot I turn it on. That's why I have it.


YES!!!!!! The weather should dictate when the air comes on, NOT THE CALENDAR!

[seclark]

yesterday at noon.
sec

[Over-Head]

Almost slept in the truck one night out west last week it was that hot, (house I was living in had NO a/c) this morning here on the rock I got up at 3, turned up the heat, and added a blanket to the bed

[boogblaster]

Nope not yet .. but all windows open and 3 fans going ...

[Frazod]

I went from 45 in the Black Hills Saturday to 90 and humid yesterday in Chicago. Fuck yes the air is on. I hate this crap. Wish I was still up in the mountains.

:cuss:

[Priest31kc]

Saturday Night was the first time we turned it on. It was like 86 degrees in our house, impossible to sleep in.

[DJ's left nut]

I went to college for a reason. If I didn't make money to ensure that I could rest comfortably in my own home, then what the hell do I go to work for?

When I get hot, I turn that sucker on. If it gets cold again, I just turn it off.

I've never understood the idea behind waiting until June to turn on the AC out of fear you'll see another cold snap. Just turn the damn thing back off if it gets cold.

If I'm looking to save money, I'll cut back on a lot of things before I start adjusting how comfortable my house is. I take no pride in sweating while watching television to save a quarter on my utility bills that day.

[ChiefGator]

Mine has been running non-stop for like a the last week....

besides being in Florida, I have huge windows that face the sun all day. It gets REALLY hot up stairs and the A/C runs like crazy. About to move into a smaller place away from the sun, which should help considerably with summer A/C costs.

[MOhillbilly]

no, didnt turn it on last year either. Lots of trees and fans.

[rwalke10]

...But then the AC has to cool down the house, which is harder on your AC unit. I know a few people that once they turn it on it stays on to keep the house at a constant temp for the entire summer. They claim it is cheaper and easier on the AC.

The amount of mosture in the air (humidity) is what takes the time, and is the reason most units are a bit undersized by design. Being a wee bit small, therefore it has to run longer to get to the temperature setpoint. The longer it runs, the more moisture (and the btu's contained within) are removed.

Wanna speed up the process? If you own a dehumidifier, fire it up (as close to a return air duct the better) and it will greatly speed up the process.

[38yrsfan]

Ceiling and floor fans is all we have. Haven't turned them on yet even though it did get around 80 a few weeks back for a day.

It was 37 this morning and probably a bit colder than that overnight as I saw a small amount of frost on one of the cars..

[MIAdragon]

Never goes... on or off?!

LMAFO, off

[Demonpenz]

Rum + Heat + jimmy buffet.

[ChiefGator]

Rum + Heat + jimmy buffet.

= Me getting up to change the music while getting a refill.

[NewChief]

We still haven't turned it on. We're getting close, though. I'd like to put it off until we break 90. I think we should be able to survive this week if we can survive today. Clouds and rain coming in tomorrow.

It doesn't bother me, but I feel bad for my kids.

[Demonpenz]

well the chiefs will be practicing in doors a bunch during training camp.

[DTLB58]

Yep, 83 in the house and humid! You betcha!

[Deberg_1990]

Turned mine on a few months ago

[Starbux37]

Nope. I don't even think we have had a handful of days over 70 degrees yet. I have lived in this area for 29 yrs now, and this has been the strangest May ever. Infact we are suppose to get another 8 - 12 inches of snow at the 7000ft level in the next couple of days.

This is totally playing havoc with my vegetable garden! :cuss:

[Demonpenz]

Have you turned on alberto Callapso yet?

[Dunit35]

Turned ours on last night only to find out this morning that the line had frozen over. More freon added and we're rocking again.

[Great Expectations]

My wife is preggars, we have had our air on for 1 week.

[Simply Red]

Whatever works, dude.

She's really pretty, George, very nice.

[HoneyBadger]

All this makes me think how people used to live, wearing heavy, thick clothing and not having any A/C. Must have been horrible.

[clyde05]

about a month ago

I think you live by me, IIRC - Spokane area.

I've had to turn the heat on in the office yesterday and today as it has been freezing. I had to scrape ice off the windshield yesterday morning. :grr:

[loochy]

If it's above 74 degrees when I go to bed, I turn on the AC. I can't sleep when its even slightly hot.

[Simply Red]

Yes, like two months ago.

-Thanks

I did the same in my office ... looks like summer might be the coldest time of year considering how easy winter was this year, much different than than last few winters ..... went to Silverwood for their dry run day and it was jacket weather if you rode the coasters.

bango is also in this area.

We usually go to Silverwood in October. Half price tickets and no crowds as well as nice weather in the 60's. We went the first weekend in October last year and absolutely froze our asses off. It was 34° and windy. Fortunately, it was nice when we went again the weekend before last (busy, though). One of the very few nice days we have had so far.

I did enjoy not snow blowing last winter, though. :thumb:

[memyselfI]

Numerous times.

[Mr. Laz]

just this morning for the 1st time

90 degrees and humid sucks

[Bowser]

Better believe it.

[Stewie]

I turned mine on Sunday for the first time after coming in from doing yard work and gardening. It's running now and I'm glad. It was hot at work due to construction that didn't allow the A/C to run.
