Hot time in the old town tonight

Alabama gets rather warm during the summer months. The current forecast for today is for the high to reach around 101 degrees Fahrenheit. As if that were not bad enough, the compressor on one of our two heat-pumps, the upstairs unit, has gone out and the unit needs to be replaced. In addition, the duct-work for both the upstairs and downstairs units are falling apart. We are currently in the process of getting estimates for the replacement and repair work.

Luckily, the downstairs unit works, although we are pretty sure that we are trying to cool the attic in the process. Thus, we are only able to run the downstairs unit at about 40% efficiency at the moment. Between that and fans, the downstairs is relatively livable. We are also avoiding going upstairs whenever possible, but it is not too bad in the early morning hours.

  1. As soon as I can get out of the office and home, two fans and I are headed for your hothouse.
