The trick is to pre-cool the house early so the A/C can keep up later in the day.
Most A/C systems are designed for 95 degree days, maximum.
When I ran high rise office buildings, we would start the A/C overnight before a very hot day. It was cold at 7 am when people started arriving, we’d get complaints, and we would explain why it was so cold.
By the afternoon, everyone was nice and comfy, even though outside it was blazing hot.
Thanks!
Good morning, exit!
That’s exactly how we do it here to keep our house temp at a comfortable place.
It’s cold in the morning but can put on sweater to stay comfortable so the rest of the day doesn’t get too warm.
Fortunately, it cools down at night so having the windows open with box fans blowing the cool air in works well.
Interesting, exit.
Our a/c is holding up well in the heat this summer.
We’re getting a break today, thankfully.
Summers here are a *little bit* warmer than they were in Colorado but we’re happy to be back home!
That’s interesting, we did the same thing when we had evaporative cooling. I think at most It could only drop the temperature by 20 or 25°.
I guess here we don’t get so hot that we have to pre-cool in the evening and mornings. The summers are much better than I thought. And the winters are a bit colder, but it is intermittent.
