Are you in the LA region?

My husband is an hvac tech so thankfully short of needing parts that have to be ordered ours wouldn't be out long.
It has been humid here too. Normally its dry but it rained some yesterday. It'd just yucky outside.
I will have yo turn it off this afternoon because rates will skyrocket.
108 and no AC
I'm in northern California and this was due to equipment failure. Pge has been raising our rates for years to upgrade their equipment and then never does it. Same with our water company. 13 years ago we could use all of the power we wanted and our bill would be under $100. Now I'm scrimping everywhere I can (hang laundry, everything off during the highest rate hours, no ac unless its over 105 outside) just to keep my bill under $400. I don't even want to see it this month since we are having to use the ac.Anonymous 2 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 12:27 pmAre you in the LA region?

I don't think our central A/C unit stopped in three months.

Same with our water. It has gone from $60 every other month to $120 and thats if we don't use over the base rate.
We canceled our trash service because it went from $20 a month to $80 in one massive rate hike.
I need out of this state.

So happy it's only 68 here. I have my windows wide open! I'm counting down the days until summer is done. I hate heat.

Our landlord had a new one installed this year. It's been needed for years now. Whoever owned this house before these people did things really weird. I've already fixed a few things on my own that I knew how.Linda_Runs wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 7:25 am That would suck. We are having the longest heat wave ever here, but not the hottest. With humidex, many days we hit 100 to 110 including the 100 percent humidity. I was just counting my blessings that our 18 year old central A/C unit would not give up.
I'm so happy the heat has broke. Got the windows wide open today! There's a nice breeze today too we also have a tornado watch right now lol

Yuck. We don’t get that hot here—90ish is tops. We once lost it in those temps for a full 24 hours. Yucky!
