Safe to run AC?

[brigden]

We've been told by local media to not run air-conditioning units, but it's just too bloody hot. I had a quick walk around my condo complex and almost every third house had theirs running. What are you guys doing?

You can get a towel and dunk it in cold water... then wrap that sucker around your neck. Thats what I did on my drive down to LA from Oregon WITHOUT A/C.

Turn it on and find out.

It is on. It has been on before I posted this retarded thread.

I'd tell 'em to kiss ass right in the crack!! Too damn hot not to have some Alpha Charlie.

Ours is on and so is our neighbors. However, his is a window unit and ours is a central ac system. Bringing down the grid one house at a time.

The window units are an even bigger strain, correct?

yes but that was more of a general question of why would anyone listen to news reporters and not turn on ac if its to hot inside

The morons on our local radio are paranoid about the power going out again. They've been harping on about not turning on AC units and stressing the grid.

I had the fullest intentions of turning on my AC and leaving it on, all night. I was just curious as to what you lot thought. I was expecting a chorus of, "Don't be an ignorant prick! Leave it off!" from the self-righteous that inhabit this place.

i didnt turn mine on, because it's damned expensive.


i dont have AC in my car either, it's broken, the compressor's siezed, and a replacement would cost more than the car is worth.

I was being sarcastic when titling the thread, hence the smiley.

Ah, gotcha. We need [sarcasm] tags that actually do something.

the reason i personally didn't tell u not to keep it off is during los angeles power crissis i keep my ac on and ignore the request to use all major appliances after 7:00 pm

our air was on all day... they don't want the power to go out yet they should be able to handle the power needs... (only a town of about 3,000 people)
