Welp, it's gonna be a no A/C day for me. Luckily, it's overcast and not nearly as hot as it normally would be. Humidity is extremely high, though.
A/C guy says the outside unit is good, but the unit in the attic is all rusted up and has to be replaced. Till it is, I can't run the A/C. Supposedly, somebody's coming out to do it, tomorrow.

It never did thaw enough to work overnight. I just left it shut off. The unit would run, but it wouldn't move any air. A/C man got here a little while ago and, of course, when I turned it back on it kicked right in and did its thing.
He's giving it the once-over, anyway.
I've got the same issue with both ACs in the barn and shop. Can't get anyone to work on window units anymore. Everything is disposable these days.

I would pick up a cheap window unit from Walmart just for times like this. We have 2 systems and a window unit in the bedroom just in case.

After almost 5 months, mowing the lawn has lost a bit of it's charm. But, a freshly mowed lawn makes the whole yard look so much better. Even the flower beds that are looking are bit tired look nicer, at least from a distance. And it beats the heck out of shoveling snow!

A/C is not gonna be fixed this weekend, after all. "Sometime next week" is all they can tell me.
I may have to go get that window unit, Ron.

My 220V thru wall Ac unit back in NYC long ago would ice up. Excess humidity. I turn it off and let it warm and melt the ice. Keeping the inside setting warmer helped. I was keeping my apartment cold enough to hang meat or so it seemed at the time.

The house is more pleasant today, now that the window unit has had a chance to work overnight and through the day, rather than having to try to catch up like it did yesterday. It's a bit cooler, but notably less stuffy and muggy in here.

I hope my central a/c is fixed very shortly after the holiday.

It's been beautiful around here the past few days. Yesterday and this morning was like California weather. Finally got hot about 4pm today. Overall it's been a pretty decent summer.

Well, the new attic unit is in, I think. They're working on the outside unit, now.

New a/c is up and running. That was a lot earlier in the week than I had been led to believe. Now I'm wondering if I can/should return the window unit.
