That is a one scary proposition. I hope the Senate doesn't pass it.
We have 5 a/c units. 2 of them are set at 80 because we don't use them much. Our monster is a 17 seer, it's on 76 daytime until 71 from 4:30-5:00am. They are all 2007 units.
We have 5 plasmas but only 3 are running most days.
Maybe I should just turn the 2 a/c units off that we don't use.

Something tells me you live a huge house
We started building in 2005 and finished in 2007. Are you familiar with San Antonio?
Ya--I live here!
I did not read the whole thread, but yeah it's ing hot here in SA. 20 something days over a 100 in july alone. I read an article about how some parts in the country they were dealing with extreme temps in the 90's. LOL! Come down here and feel the ing heat baby. Lets play 18 holes at high noon mothers!!! By the way I remember going to hoelscher elementry on the West side in the 80's with no AC. Anyone feel me?
I live in Greystone outside 1604 off of Blanco and Huebner. Sean Elliott, Malik Rose and Bruce Bowen live in the neighborhood. It's pretty cool.![]()
That's what's killing you. I only have one AC unit, but It's like 16-17 seer unit. I run 78 all day, and 76 while I'm sleeping. My bill was $227 this month, 1800 SF house with some solar screens.
So leave the monster at 78...and 76 while sleeping. I'm going to try that, but I don't know if I can sleep. Maybe I'll just get an extra standing fan and use it.![]()
Do you have ceiling fans? If so, make sure they're set to lift the (warm) air up, the summer setting. The way to tell is the lower edge of the angled blade should lead the rotation.
It might take some adjustment, but I feel nice and cool when I step out of 100+ into 78 when I get home, and have no problems sleeping at 76. Another tip: don't overdress inside. I usually change after work and run around in shorts and a t-shirt, bare feet most of the time.
