Have you turned your AC on?
|
Today might be the day, it's 26 inside the house and humidity is 60%. Yes/no?
I've had all windows open for the last 48 hours, no breeze doe.
In before hator/eddie/townhouse dwellers tell me how their house is at -9 right now because so well insulated.

Re: Have you turned your AC on?

Wife is out of twon with 5 bg's, otherwise AC would've been on by now, this is the time to experiment.
I took a shower instead, I am cool now. Temp did go up by one degree to 27C now
I am going to try a different technique doe, i recently installed a 150CFM Panasonic fan in my bathroom (baller) and turned on the furnace fan. If I can get humidity to drop under 50% i should be ok.

Re: Have you turned your AC on?

Only turned the AC on for one night a few weeks ago when humidity was killer. The AC is loud as fuck and about 20 years old so we try not to use it. We just have a fan upstairs and open main floor windows and it seems to exhaust the house pretty well.
What you really need to do though is modify your cold air return to only draw from the basement where it's cool and block the returns on the other floors.

Hmmm. Great idea with the cold air return. Going to try that. I currently have the furnace fan running for 15mins every hour just to help circulate if the AC isn't running due to temp.

Re: Have you turned your AC on?

For those doing the window and fan thing another thing to try is getting a cheap furnace fan off Kijiji or if you know someone in the industry. You can make a little enclosure to mount the exhaust on a window and it's quiet and will pull a hell of a lot more cfm than a traditional house fan will

Usually 23 when home. 28 when away...sometimes I'll turn down to 21 or 22 at night depending. Flow to master isn't the best. I have played with adjustment and got it to be acceptable.

yea it's pretty hard. East part of house where bedrooms are generally runs hotter, west side of house has more mature trees over house that shade it. A bit of a cluster fuck.
Keep it at 25C right now, humidity is at 45%, it's pretty much as low as we need to go.

You can easily alter the flow a bit by capping off vents downstairs to get the upstairs a bit more cool air. I think I've only got two vents downstairs that are open. Ceiling fans also help a lot. All the vents in the basement are capped as well.

Not by choice at this point, have a leak somewhere. Hopefully it's resolved this week.
Pretty manageable though, keep windows/blinds closed during the day. Only open at night. RH stayed less than 60% and it wasn't uncomfortable, kid was overheating a bit, but she needs to learn life under this roof won't be easy.

lol holy fuck.
are you attempting to fix this refrigeration leak yourself or have you hired a professional?
This has been a DIY mission for a while, but we've reached the point of diminishing returns (actually we reached that before I even started this DIY).
The good thing is I found where the leak is, after pressurizing the system to 150 psi the coil is where the leak is at. Going to pay to have someone come in replace it, even though it's tempting to do myself now that it's cooling down.

Re: Have you turned your AC on?

I feel guilty with the thermostat at 23.5C ... Anything higher, and the 2nd floor is too warm.
26C I'm dying. 29C is Risky cray.
FWIW, I had to replace my 2nd gen Nest with a new one (under warranty) ... the internals were warming the sensor so much that it reported temps 2-3C higher than it really was. (I had to buy an old-school mercury thermometer to confirm.)

yeah pretty fair that you get to work in an AC office environment during the day and your wife is stuck at home w/ a cranky hot baby.
I'll be sure to nominate you for the Dad / Husband of the Year.

Re: Have you turned your AC on?

i caved and turned it on last night. only because it was 28* upstairs and kid was sweating when sleeping lol.
i can't justify cooling down the entire house, i even contemplated a DIY AC box, i have everything sitting around for it and it makes more sense to just cool my room.

I recommend just paying somebody, it is definitely not DIY. You need to braze the hi/lo pressure lines to the new coil, you need a vacuum pump to pump the lines down and then obviously a set of gauges to check the lines once it has been refilled with refrigerant. If however you do try and DIY this, please keep us updated with pics!

Re: Have you turned your AC on?

blah blah blah lol
all this talking about the baby and NO AC. What about countries who don't have AC....it's a NA thing...luxury...baby will be fine.
Now...is it a nice move since wifey is probably pissed off and looking after the baby the majority of the time...I'd say no but then again I don't have to live under the same roof so that's risky's move

Re: Have you turned your AC on?

As a kid, temperature changes didn't bug me one bit. Played in all sorts of extreme weather.
The issue I see with it, is it worth the discomfort to save $50 for the year? For me it's not, so I just set to to where's comfortable. Now for older homes that have huge bills I understand.
I like the house at 23.5, wifey likes 19. So it's usually at 19 at night for her.

Re: Have you turned your AC on?

The A coil is pretty old, not worth fixing. Losing about 40 psi of pressure over 48 hours, so pretty slow leak.
I can change it myself, but simply don't have the time right now so i will pay for someone to come in an get it done in a couple of hours.

No. No AC so far.
That said, when the temp in Toronto was like 34, south Ajax was 25 lol.
I typically only have 3 or 4 days in a year where the AC is on.
