I'm too poor to run the AC so I only have a small desk fan. Plus I think a possum died in the duct work last summer because I heard a really loud growling/hissing sound then all the vents in my house had an extremely fish smelling odor coming from them. Either that or I was being gassed without my knowledge. Good thing my doors are made of whood.
better get that shit out of the vents.
I'm gonna be real with ya, my AC hasn't worked in like 20 years. This is the reason why theres wild fricking animals running around under my house. I might crawl under there to look at its skeleton one day though just out of curiosity.
With all the money you're saving not running AC the least you could do is get the dead animals out of your vents you fricking troglodyte.
it's alway weird to hear about people who can't run AC because of a power bill, I live by myself in a 3 bedroom house, keep my house at exactly 70 degrees year round, have a PC with two 3090's that I never turn bother to turn off and I am constantly running a 3D printer and I leave lights on 24/7, my power bill has never gone over like $175 and I never even bother checking it, like how poor can you be?
eurocucks. like .80c usd per whatever
Seconding this. I hear people who b***h about someone leaving a light on and how it costs them too much and how they should turn it off.
Black person if you can't afford to run a light bulb for a few extra hours you have bigger financial problems and can't afford where you live.
How fricking expensive is electricity where you live? For me running the ac or not for most of the day is about a $10 difference per month at most.
we just make the numbers up based on quarterly predictions because the rate commission won't let us raise our prices frequently enough
>Smart Meters are complete BULLSHIT
Check your bill. The meter is accurate. What isn't accurate is your power company. Despite the meter fricking spoon feeding them information they still frick it up.

>Get new "efficient" AC unit
Efficient is globohomosexual double speak, truly efficient refrigerants (R12) have been banned since the 90's
Why doesn't a competitor create a more efficient AC refrigerant then?
Regulation bloat makes it impossible for competitors to enter the space
sure, but once you're there.
you have a massive market.
seems odd there is not some investment group at least interested. all you need is a bunch of scientists and lawyers.
or do suicides suddenly happen to anyone threatening the current patents?
The obvious question. If R12 is efficient and patent free then companies would use it.
Not legal
Cope. Still allowed in some industries.
OK but that's still the reason why nobody does it. A miniscule market isn't worth it.
R12 was banned for its role in damaging the ozone layer.
God damn Australians.
We have tons of efficient refrigerants. They're all illegal.
I used to have a 92 Chevy Lumina with R12, and the AC in that car would get so cold I swear you could frost up the windows if you wanted.
>NOOOOO I NEED TO FRICK UP THE WORLD FOR EVERYONE ELSE SO I CAN BE SLIGHTLY MORE COMFORTABLE NOOOOO YOU'RE LITERALLY RAPING ME WITH YOUR LESS EFFICIENT REFRIGERANTS
polBlack folk should be gassed
Maybe if there was a hypergolic HFC so if there was a leak it would burn off instantly we could have the best of both worlds.
Of course your AC failing would turn into a rocket but that's ok because it helps save the environment.
seems like something that's already being used in china with how often random things just blow up there for no reason but for me to laugh at chinks randomly dying
This, my grandmas r12 fridge from 1957 still blows cold after 70 years
If the door wasn’t warped on the bottom she would still be using it
I think I have that same fridge upstairs but I'm missing the flap on the freezer and I have a shelf and hard liner inside the door.
This has the shelf liner too I just took it off in the pic because I was inspecting the door frame
Based. Mine's of a similar vintage but it's a different unit. If this thread's still up when I get home and I'm not too tired I'll take some pictures or at least look up the model. It works pretty well but I need to find a new gasket/seal for the door and the freezer gets ice buildup pretty quickly.
Do they sell power by a day price or with a solid price? Did you use electric heating? Nevertheless You are a moron.
>not living on solar panels, batteries, and an inverter off grid
NGMI
sometimes it will hail where I live
I remember reading an article from a dutch university that discovered that smart meters are often inaccurate when measuring non-linear loads. Most counted too much, some counted less than was consumed, maybe you are experiencing something similar
Who needs AC in may?
