It was a hundred degrees on Tuesday, and I had a lot of trouble with the air conditioner.
It was cool inside of the house until about 2 pm, when the sun was in the sky overhead. It started to get insanely warm and humid inside of the house, so I adjusted the temperature on the air conditioner. About an hour later, the whole house started to feel warm. I put my hand up to the air vent and warm air was coming out of the air conditioner. I was concerned that the air conditioner needed to be replaced, but I wasn’t going to call a repair service until later that day. I decided to turn off the air conditioner for several hours to see if that would fix the problem. I waited to turn on the air conditioner until after the sun went down. I crossed both of my fingers and turned on the thermostat, hoping to hear the motor fire up. The air conditioner started running and I felt a cool breeze coming out of the air vent. The breeze got colder and colder. I’m not sure why the air conditioner stopped working during the middle of the day, but it seemed perfectly fine after sitting for 6 hours. It’s only the middle of June right now and the outdoor temperatures are going to get warmer and warmer. I might have to buy a second air conditioner for the house if I continue to have problems with that central unit. I certainly don’t wish to be stranded without AC in the heat of July.
