How hot is it where you are?

That's fucking awesome sauce right there!

 

Yeah, I pretty much just care about the winter lawn nowadays. In the winter, it'll be golf course nice. In the summer, just blow enough $$ on water to keep it somewhat alive to keep the dust down.

TWSS

 

We were up your way last summer during your so called "heat wave". Hitting the high 90's and it was wonderful!!

The locals didn't feel the same way about it. Beautiful place though.

 

I was gonna photoshop a TM slap on it but my brain is melting from the heat.

 

Uhhh...if his backyard is Lithia Spring, then yes.

 

134° yesterday in Central Texas!

 

It was in the mid 90’s in my family room and kitchen last night.

 

Yeah, but you're also experiencing A/C issues, right? That does suck! High humidity in your area too. Fans are your friend right now plus the first rule of ventilation - there must be a goes-in and a goes-out. That means air intake on one side and exhaust on the other side.

 

Yep. Old house so I was able to close off the downstairs at the dining room to keep the 2nd floor unit from working too hard. AC guy replaced the compressor and it's working right now. He's letting the refrigerant settle or whatever and then will come back to remeasure and add more. Keeping my fingers crossed that there isn't something else. He thought the refrigerant had a weird smell to it and was afraid it burned or something. But he tested the old compressor and said it was a mechanical failure and not the refrigerant going to shit.

When we first bought the house, we had problems with that unit. He came out and removed a ton of refrigerant from it. Whomever installed it or tried to work on it at some point overloaded it by a lot. He's thinking that may have overtaxed the compressor and that's why it gave out sooner than it should have.

 

Good old DFW Texas heat lol

 

Burnt stinky refrigerant is usually a sign of a acid burnout(the windings short and cook the oil) hopefully it wasn’t that, or this compressor won’t last long if he didn’t use an acid scavenger additive.
But he’s smart to just let it run, it’s super easy to over charge systems, and you can damage them by flooding them when you charge.

 

He just finished topping it off. He said the refrigerant was fine - that's why he tested the old compressor before putting the new one on. Also sounds like I was lucky to get the compressor. Seems to be a shortage.

 

Are you standing over a vent like Marilyn Monroe?

 

Yes

 

Heat index is only 112 ought to go mow the grass

 

Are you running R22?

 

Probably 410 if the unit is 10 years old

 

I have r22 in mine and it's 10.

 

Right now real feel temp is 110!! TEXAS HOT!!!!!! And no rain!!

 

That’s gonna suck when you need gas!

 

Not after tomorrow. Brand new RUUD going in.

 

Oh sweet!!!

 

Not too bad.

 

I'll ask him next time I see him (hopefully because it's a small town and not because our AC went to shit again).

 

Officially hit triple digits today. We have a 24 day streak of triple digits to break and I bet we do it because it ain't even August yet

 

We hit 68° on the coast, and it's bright and sunny...

 

R22, R221, whatever it takes.
