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.

Just do it. The savings of not putting the M on the road can be put towards the hydro bill to cool off you and wifey.

Gotta enjoy your $ somehow. ;\)

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.

My fucking POS $249 Nest is a fucking paperweight.

It's currently reporting 25.5C, and 51% humidity ... That can't be right... ?!

And... it's been off for the past .. month or so... \:\|

Big ass fan in the bedroom all night long... FTW.

I got some kinda heat exchanger running 24/7 though...

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.

That's an interesting idea.

Well I ran the ac for 30 mins it dropped humidity by 20% it's chill now. Breeze outside so I am turning it off for another month

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.

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

Elaborate on what ?

Windows open in my place doesn't usually amount to much flow through the house.

So while it hasn't been that sticky hot much we have used the ac somewhat already.
Not 24/7 at all though

I honestly cannot believe how cheap some of you (just Risky actually), are. Sacrificing comfort for a few bucks when you're not poor is pathetic.

I am ready to kill someone when the inside temp is 25+. Some things in life are worth paying for, and AC is one of them.

Been set at 76 for quite some time now. If it's nice in the evening/overnight I'll shut it off and open the windows. but fuck being hot and sticky in your own house.
