Air Conditioning Help -Yes really....

Featured Replies

Last night, my air conditioning froze up again. I was just wondering if anyone knows a long term way to make it stop considering that it's been doing this for a while. Every time it freezes up, we just take a blow dryer to it. Thanks for your help.

Don't use it anymore :P .

 

 

 

So far my mom only turned on the AC in the house once this summer. Didn't matter for me because I closed all the vents in my room and opened the windows anyhow. Real air> recycled air.

That's ok if you like to live in 85 degree weather with 80% humidity...

85 degrees? Your thermometer is broken.

We've got a lot of new ones, the school won't miss one if you take it :-w .

Well acording to the thing the controls the a/c and heat (I forget what it's called) it's 82 degrees. 85----82....big difference.

Very true. It's kinda nice not dying of heat stroke during math and english.

 

 

 

It's not like they can't afford another one... :roll:

Don't forget I live in Cincy also, I know how hot it's been :D . 43 days of 90+ weather. I will admit I love warm weather, I don't even have a fan in my room.

It actually is, try using that difference with two other numbers...92 degrees is much different then 95, 32 is much different then 35.

 

 

 

N0M AN0R, you're probably thinking its 85 Celsius, he's talking about Fahrenheit. My house is usually 85-79 degrees at night, and I set my air conditioner to 70 degrees.

 

 

 

About your problem, maybe try calling the company/store you bought it from? Or just buy a new one, some good ones you can find really cheap. :)

You're the exact opposite of me. I always have a fan running in my room. Maybe it's because if I get too hot, I start to have troubles breathing because of my asthma....yeah it sucks.

 

 

 

Or maybe I'm just spoiled by actually having a/c all the time. :-k

Eh, no. We live in Cincy, it's been 90+ degrees all summer.

This is an obvious problem. Your free-on is low. Call someone out and have them replace your free-on, and problem solved.

 

 

 

Edit:

 

Free-on is a chemical that keeps it from freezing over, much like antifreeze in a car.

It's still only 3 degrees off...

 

 

 

NOM ANOR lives like 5 minutes away from me so I doubt it.

 

 

 

We've had the company out here before. They did something to it....refilled the freon I think. Apparently it didn't help. But thanks for the suggestion anyways.

Maybe theres a leak in the freon container then, because I don't think this could be anything else other than low freon.

At least your school has air conditioners...

 

We can't get them because it will "look ugly." Seriously. And you're dieing coming back in from p-e at noon, in the lovely 95 degree California sun...

You're right. We were leaking freon. The guy said that we may have to totally replace it. That sucks because he would have to order one in. You would think that an air conditioning store would have an air conditioner on stock....
