If you have spare rooms, and your ac unit is struggling or your billz be wildin, close your vents and doors for rooms you don’t use.
Also be sure to close blinds on rooms that are south facing
Not closing windows, but blinds.
Closing doors only helps if you close the vents too.
And hey, there could be someone reading this thread who just moved into their first place, or moved to a hot climate for the first time.
Ah right, vents. I don’t have any. I don’t think anyone at where I live has vents in their houses ( actually, apartments)
And I just felt like it would be common sense to trap heat/cold.
Also put foil-backed insulation over any single-paned windows you don’t use. Or do what I did and cover only half the window if you still use the room occasionally.
And if you have an HOA that bans this, placing the insulation behind the blinds instead of directly on the window will do the trick and make it difficult to see what you did, especially if you keep the blinds closed or only open them partially and angled downward.
This is the third time my AC broke this year. Good thing I rent.
Sometimes they just get dirty, we learned that after our ac only spat out hot air, we rinsed it off and it was good as new ready to die for us again
Wow I would have murder on my mind if I couldn’t adjust my water heater temperature. I set mine above 140°F/60°C so that the dishes in the dishwasher actually sanitize properly. Most water heaters hang out around 50°C out of the box, and I doubt the apartment community actually bothered to increase the temp.
Why do they do this? It’s your power bill.
Childhood obesity is so sad. I hope the boy is in good health.
Yah, I don’t live in a big place, nor do we turn the house in to a refrigerator, but our power bill was 200+ $ last month when normally it is closer to 50 due to the heat wave.
It’s wild.
Why are you supporting the heat wave? Damn it, AC!
