keepin' cool?

Published Jun. 7, 2008

How about this? We have our air conditioner set to 77 but it has been at 81 all day... our air conditioner can't keep our house cooled to 77.  It's a hot hot day here in Goldsboro NC.

i use one of those reflective windshield thing in the car and keep the windows down, helps the car not be so hot. parked it in the shade on the front side of the house - in the yard - today,lol. Man - it's nice to have the air working in my car again - been without for several years and it was a simple hose leak - duh

wow, it's finally starting to cool off in the house, and its almost 11pm. I shut off the vents and closed the door in my spare bedroom to try to get more cooling in the living room and kitchen. I got my electric bill today and saw they applied some of my deposit towards this bill (which wasn't too bad) that means the rest of my deposit will get applied to the next bill - thank God!!!!

Don't forget the lessons learned during the winter...insulation works!!! Check your windows and plastic wrap them It really makes a big difference. Rooms that aren't in use, close off the cooling vents. That'll force more chilled air to where it is needed. Insulation is your friend in the summer just like in the winter!

I hopped in my car today around 2 PM and inside was soooo hot. Even the windows were hot to the touch. Progress Energy is going to make a fortune this month with all the AC's in my condo's complex running wide open.

The real kicker is that my car A/C is also on the fritz....I had actually planned on car shopping today until my home AC went out last night. Mechanic told me it would be $1500 to fix the car AC...and my car isnt worth too much more than that lol.

I have been able to keep my house @ 74 degrees since the heat wave hit. But my a/c is hanging his tongue out doing it. Normally, I keep it set @ 78. But that ain't cool enough for me when it is this hot outside.

I am going to hate to see my next power bill.
