I'M MELTING AC DIED HOTTEST DAY

[gizmo1979]

of the year.90 degrees dew point 77 at 10 AM.Who'll fix a AC on a Sunday?

1. Head to a public place with A/C to cool off

either a mall, supermarket, or hang out at a friends house with A/C today.

2. Or pour some cool water and sit in the bathtub..

...when it gets bad. You'll look like a prune, but you'll stay cool. Suppose you could read a book while you're in there.

3. Ouch

I grew up in the Midwest, and that has happened to me. I honestly don't know what people did before AC. I think that may be why houses there over sixty years old had high ceilings and big windows. But they sure don't now. You may be able to find some cooling and heating companies in the phonebook who will service on a weekend, but they'll charge you plenty extra for emegency service.

4. Call a friend, head to the mall, get to a pool and make arrangements

to stay somewhere else tonight. You may be able to get an A/C guy out there, but I suspect it will be crazy expensive.

Can you call a friend and stay with them for a day or two while it's being fixed? That would be your best bet. If not and depending on your financial situation, you might even think about a hotel for the night.

5. I had a friend who got hers fixed on a sunday

You might call around and give it a shot. Maybe it is a quick fix.

6. there might be emergency AC repair services but they'll charge a fortune

to come out.

8. I found a local guy that will come out but it'll

be expensive,I said come on over.

12. good luck... i hope he will be merciful when presenting his fee.

7. We have no AC

13. How do you survive?

I'm okay during the day,but I can't sleep if it's hot!Hats off to you if you can manage you must be in really good shape.

15. We use fans

and except for just a few nights in the summer, the temps usually go down at night to the low-to-mid 60's or, if we're lucky into the mid-50's and that cools the whole house down pretty well.

9. Catch a movie dude - stay for a few...

11. If you can afford it they have portable units at Targets or Kohls

I saw an ad last month approx. $300.00. It is like those tower fans.

My AC died in 2000 during a serious heat wave in the Northeast. The problem is that it seems everyones AC goes out on the hottest days and it took a week and a half to get the new unit installed.

I feel for you, it is a hot year.

10. Go to the nearest supermarket

spend *lots* of time in the frozen food section.

14. I've stayed inside all day in the A/C

even the kids don't wanna go outside.

16. My neighbor doesn't have AC.

They always open their windows up as soon as the sun sets and close them again when they get up in the morning. 60 degree air will usually last them well into the afternoon. Plus they have their basement finished off, so they spend a lot of time there. It's possible to live without AC. :)
