This is what we have done. I know my neighbors are going to love it, but I have hung plastic over the top half of the windows and will cover them up all the way when the sun is on that side. We do have the fans going. We are lucky that almost all the windows on the first floor are shaded by a deep porch or large tree. All the upstairs windows are on the West side and it is an overcast day. It could be way worse.
Bizarrely, my kids will not stay outside. It is actually cooler outside than in the house, at least on the West side, and they keep complaining and wanting to come in. I am not letting them run any electronics so that is not it. *shrug* :) Jennifer ----- Original Message ----- From: allen dunbar To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2008 1:52 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] air conditioner Jennifer it sounds like you need to turn all the fans on and try misting yourselves with cool water in a pump it sounds like you have a problem with the compressor you are fortunate you have the warranty it could prove quite expensive if not unless you go to a local hotel for the weekend good luck Allen in steamy Dallas ----- Original Message ----- From: Jennifer Jackson To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2008 1:35 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] air conditioner I have a forced air central unit and it is not working. I have a work order through my so called home warranty that should have a guy here on Monday, but in the meantime we are really hot. I thought I would describe the problem and maybe you all will have a simple answer. I sure hope so. It comes on inside and acts normal, just no cold air. The outside unit will try to come on and then quits. We reset the circuit breaker and changed the fuses in case that did it, but is there something else I could check?
