  • Erika Ferrando follows an AC technician to find out what you can do to keep your house cooler.
    Among his tips were some things you may know and others you may not.
    - Change the filter monthly
    - Removed and clean air filter in AC window units
    - Wash off your outside unit, but only when it isn't running
    - Keep the thermostat between 76-78. It's likely not going to get any cooler anyway
    The tech said that if it's 100 degrees outside and your AC says 80, even if you have it set to 72, "It's working. It just wasn't made for this kind of heat."

    I measured my west-facing bedroom window and went to Lowe’s/Home Depot to buy cheap, custom-cut wood panels and placed them in the sills, behind the blacked-out curtains.
    It’s completely blacked out, because around 1pm it turns into Crematoria(chronicles of riddick)!

    For me in New Jersey we are having a heatwave above 90 degrees and I live in a apartment complex but I don’t have a Central AC or heat I have only one window unit in the living room but the 2 rooms don’t have AC but we have our own personal Fan too use. But if I get my own house 🏠 I’ll definitely make sure I have my own Central AC and heat. During summer months on especially on heatwave temperatures I’ll keep it at 75 degrees on a upper 90s degree day but when the heat wave is over I’ll set it to 73-77 degree normal temperature range for me

    I keep mine at 78 but today it’s reading 80. I was just getting ready to call a tech to hv to checked. After seeing this video I will wait to see how it goes in a day or two.

    Am I the only one that sets it to 69 and it stays at 69? Currently its 94 outside but the inside of my house is maintaining 69 with no issues.

      78 is a good temperature!! You can still stay cool and save money, 80 is to hot! 78 is the sweet spot!!
      I like to stay cool and comfortable when it’s hot.
