I'm often in the 50s and he's near 70 lol And he has high temps closer to ORH during the day with a decent breeze even on most nights. Tolland STEM, below him, is 85/55 right now. It's 85 here, 86/57 at LCI, and 87/56 at CON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Just this morning I had to disassemble my window unit for a deep cleaning after it started smelling musty. Drip pan was clogged with decomposing pine needles and filled with water... yuck. But now clean as a whistle, and I can say I've installed twice in one summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Wonder if I have something in my truck AC. One year old Ridgeline and needed new condenser this week. Still blows crap for cold air. My wife's Venza, you have to turn up the temp after a few minutes as it get's too cold. Anyway, up to 84.4F. Outta work in 10min, off to Naples.
