My mom has heart problems and needs the AC to be around the mid-sixties. We recently moved into an older house, and the air conditioner is polar when it comes to doing what it is expected to. It randomly stops being cold, and sometimes freezes up. I think we are putting more pressure on it than any other owner previously. It is in the eighties now, and I would just like some tips to make it work a bit better and more efficiently without the high cost of bringing a technician in.
my rooms air conditioners thing broke along time ago and the ppl who fix conditioners cant fix it so i was wondering how you can keep your self cool with out it
i already tried openeing the window but only hot air came in…-_-
When I know a very hot day is forecast should I turn on the air conditioner in the morning (say at 8am) and keep the house cool , or should I wait until the house warms up at midday and then cool it down?
The heat cannot be turned down and runs in the 80’s. In the summer, it is intolerable. There are no vents and no windows. One door to an interior room without the same. A free-standing airconditioner was brought to the office, but the hose had to be run out the door, through the adjacent room to a hallway. Environmental services said “No”. Air conditioning is too expensive. Do you have experience to give that would solve my air-quality and heat problem?
Fans existed though they didn’t use electricity, they were hand cranked, or waved by hand.
In the 17&18 hundreds most houses had large porches and people used them as outside rooms so they could catch natural breezes. Kitchens were built as separte buildings away from the main house to keep them from heating up the house.
Ice houses were generally very cool and people used to sit in them in the summer too, if they were lucky enough to have one. If they weren’t lucky enough to have them they used ice to chill drinks and drank lots of fluids to stay cool.
People went swiming in the summer, and visited the sea shore where it was generally cooler.
