The air on that side for the 2nd floor has been on/off several times like you said. When i bought the family home, we gutted the original house and added a 40x40 addition. That new part of the house stays cool for a long time. Thats why i just turned it on. Expand My comment was more about my personal heat-related issue than it was about you. Our home has a lot of windows and once the sun angle starts increasing it gets very warm inside, particularly upstairs. That, plus my "need" to have a cool home usually means my air is on once temps get past 60. I have my thermostat set at 67 year-round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Three guys here already have roped out all hvac equipment and installed the outdoor compressor. Wont finish until tomorrow am but they brought two window units. These things are too damn loud and just continuously cycle. How do people live with them?

Pro Expand I cannot remember the last time I was in an area with several different Flash Flood Watches where it was not at least cloudy most of the time. I understand the one big bust like we see a lot in the winter but this was a whole week of busts that they just kept doubling down on. I do understand that people to my north did get some rain but for the most part the Watch for the LSV was one 4-5 day stretch of bad forecast after bad forecast and the GFS/FV3 saw it coming and they still kept throwing the watches out there.
