I live in Pennsylvania, and nope I haven’t turned on the AC yet, but my neighbor has already! I can’t believe that he turns his AC on, especially during the night time, when you could easily open a window… and the air is just as cold, lol.

It is going to be a high of 79F today, and 83F tomorrow, and nope I won’t be turning on the AC yet… I will only do it… if it gets to be in the 90s.

Funny, You can tell you live in Arizona. The humidity in the east is so much higher that it’s like being in a sauna when it gets to 90. For example right now at 8 am, it’s 66 degrees and 88% humidity. I have seen days during the summer when the humidity is in the high 90s. Sweating doesn’t cool you off because it doesn’t evaporate.

Gosh. I can’t even imagine running the AC at only 90 degrees. I don’t normally turn it on until the heat reaches 100 — that would be around 85 indoors. It’s 103 on the shaded back porch right now, and the system’s been cycling on & off for about four hours. I keep the thermostat set at 79 (psychologically less annoying than 80 degrees) but drop it to 76 at night. Fortunately, it’s still cool enough at night that the system stays off after about 10:00 p.m. So far…over the next few days, the thermometer’s supposed to rise to more normal summer temps.

We turned our wood furnace off a couple weeks ago. The nights are still on the cooler side but with R’s hips in the shape they are, he doesn’t need to be cutting wood. It’s one thing that we can take off his plate for the moment.

Fox, I envy you. From what I understand the climate in BC is awesome but then I don’t have bears in my freezer.

I live in BC Canada, so the air conditioner won’t come into play until July – but even then I just move into the basement to sleep at night, close the drapes during the day, and open the windows at night to stay cool. It’s nice living in a climate where I can do this as well.

Still running the woodstove out here… NW Oregon coast.

I will put the one room A/C in the window in June tho if it looks like it’s gonna heat up. Other than that, I just run the overhead fans, and open up the window in the attic – that seems to do the trick here. And of course close the drapes – heavy insulated ones on the east side. Fans really really help!

We spend the majority of our time at the man person’s office and we’ve had the air running most days for at least a month. We don’t have windows that open, though, so its a must. Fortunately the electric bill isn’t outrageous…yet.
