We had an attic fan that would pull air somehow and that thing was fantastic at night. Would make the place cold.
Grew up going to school without AC, first houses didn't have AC. Just what you get used to, I guess.
Son moved out and he had a basement bedroom, so that's available to hang out or sleep if needed. I'm OK, although I'm going to complain because they expect me to do so.

Re: Last Post Wins
Darrell - I was hoping to just fix this one, and it is funny how these guys will go right to replacing on an older system. This one he's not wrong though, it's the compressor, and that's a tough part to find on a 19 year old unit, and it's an old gas system that is obsolete as well, thus the need for different coils, so I'll bite the bullet.
Like you I had limited air for this house. In fact the 2nd floor never has had AC or heat. We had no ac for the first 3-4 years, then got this system that just died, but never did the upstairs. I'm going to do it now b/c I need it, but I've lived without it for a long time.
The window unit is fine for the master, and barring other things I never would have put AC in the upstairs and just used this unit, but for investment in the house it makes sense in the context of other repairs right now, and for resell value it needs it. Cheaper to do it now while I'm doing other work and have access.
Of course that was all before I had to fork out to replace the downstairs unit. Grrrr.......People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

It's one that is right before the exchange, inside the house (in the garage).Connected to a larger pipe that's supposed to tell it to release the cold. Sounds like what you are describing, but heck if I know what it's called.
It's 89° inside the house currently. I went running with it 91° outside. With sweat, shade and a breeze, I was a lot cooler running than sitting inside.

Re: Last Post Wins
When we first moved to Louisville in 95, we found a nice house in St. Matthews we liked and signed a lease to rent it. It got to be late May and it was a little muggy so I looked for the thermostat to turn on the A/C. Couldn't figure it out.
I figured it out when I went downstairs and saw the window units in the basement.
I put off putting them in until one night when it was around 88 in our living room around midnight. Mrs. BEvans said we can put them in or she's going to go visit her parents--until fall. We put them in.U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19

Re: Last Post Wins
And the repair bill for my A/C.
My wife is super-sweet. She has to be, to put up with me. But I asked her around lunchtime what the A/C company said and she had not heard from them yet. She then called and they said they'd call her back. She followed up with them a couple of hours later (I KNEW when they had not spoken early it wasn't going to be fixed today), and long and short of it was the part had been ordered, and waiting on it to come in; finally was going to come in "tonight" and they'd be out at 9 a.m. tomorrow...err, later today.
Unfortunately, no rainstorm today that dropped the temperature. Last night I went to bed and it was 80 degrees in the house. With two fans cross-blowing winds and a ceiling fan, it's not bad.
Tonight it was 86 last I checked. I have work to do, and if I'm going to be miserable, I might as well do work, so I just finished sending an email and 14 documents to clients who must think I'm an idiot for sending docs at nearly 1 a.m., but I'm just hot.
Hold on...I'll go check temperature....oh, it's "only" 85. Geez.

Re: Last Post Wins
I just said a prayer for you, our wife, your pets and the repairman.
If things are running to the norm with your part shipment, it will not arrive today, and may wind up being 2 weeks or more before it does. We ordered a refrigerator from Home Depot and they said it would arrive in 9 days. On the 8th day, we get a call that said unit was delayed in shipment and they out an arrival date on it of 2 weeks out. 2 days before projected arrival date we get an email. Sorry but the unit has not left the factory yet. Hope to get it to us in 7 days. Cancelled the order and had a repairman fix the old fridge with a part he had in stock.
I am also waiting on a shotgun to arrive at the dealers and it was ordered 3 1/2 weeks ago. It was in stock at the wholesalers whse. in North Carolina.seeya

They are here with the part, so hopefully it's the right part and the right repair.

They know what they're doing...it's 85 degrees in the house at noon. You'll pay anything at some point to be cool.

^@$#%#$%#^&
After 3 hours....I'm told
a) the replacement valve is faulty
b) they can't get another one for 3 days
The "solutions" they've given me are unacceptable.
