When will (did) you install/ turn on the AC this year?

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Why would you run AC with temperatures in the 70s?  Windows wide open.

THIS.   We have yet to turn on any AC here...

[Ginx snewx]

Lol had to heat this morning AC wut?

[SouthCoastMA]

AC on track for late May awt- it's moreso the humidity that bugs me a night. I could get by with the windows open for a while..but its game over once the air becomes too soupy/stagnant. I have oil heat, so I haven't turned that on in almost a month..it's been mild enough in the house with temps mostly in the upper 50's and 60's during that time. 

[Cold Miser]

No AC yet.

And you're still able to post?  Way to fight through!

Here in Methuen no AC use yet....and on a sidenote I did see a truck with a snowplow on Saturday. 

[Chrisrotary12]

Installed 2 yesterday. Back to wide open windows today.

[crownweather]

Just installed the bedroom AC on Saturday.  Tried to hold off until June 1, but the house just holds onto the warmth so it's tough to get indoor temps to drop much at night, even when temps are in the 40s for lows.

Well happy to say that I survived installing my two window ac units, not a single drop of sweat spilled. We’ll see when I will actually need them. I did want to get them in before I’m out of town next week. I’d never hear the end of it if I was gone and my wife didn’t have ac in the bedroom. 

I forgot this thread existed.

Curious, do you use a window fan?  Down here in the tropics of the Mid-Hudson Valley I installed last week but haven’t needed them yet. Got my upstairs bedroom down to a glorious 61 degrees yesterday morning with the windows open and a window fan, only 64 this morning.  The windows are closed during the day though. 

[WxWatcher007]

It’s about that time. 

[tunafish]

Long range says we don't need to install here for at least 2 more weeks.

Gonna hold out and try not to install before these incoming couple of 90 days.

I've been using a window fan to bring cool air in during the morning and evening. It works well. And like you I keep the windows closed during the day.

I do like sleeping in AC when it is warm out.  I like the hum/white noise

I like that too. 

[metagraphica]

Installed on Memorial Day.  Used it to cool off the bedroom for an hour each night before sleep time.  Nice and cool every night so no need to keep it running.

[Great Snow 1717]

meanwhile in Tolland..

the home with the 20 window AC units has created its own microclimate...

 

[40/70 Benchmark]

I had mine on last week.

[DJln491]

haven't put ours in yet.  probably would have late last week but we really were not home during those hot days except for a few hours.  nights have been cool enough and ceiling fans doing the trick so far.  Looking ahead, they certainly won't be going in this week and I'm loving it.

I installed one last week but I used it for about 15 hours over 2 days. I am also loving not having to run the AC units.
