air conditioning

The above headline is sure to garner a spirited response from anyone born and raised in Louisiana, but currently, the idea of a "Too Hot to Work Law" is actually being debated in England.

This common kitchen staple can be put to good use in battling high energy bills during the summer months. You probably never thought about using it this way.

Does your home feel humid all the time? Maybe the temperature seems to fluctuate. Are your floors to your AC vents damp? At night, do you pull the covers up, then off, then up, then off, the same thing night after night? If your HVAC unit is in fine working order and all of these things take place in your home every single day and night, more than likely the fan switch is in the wrong position.

It doesn't take any type of meteorological degree to know that it's stinking hot outside. And for some of us, it's hot inside too.

Some air conditioner parts are taking as much as 25 weeks to replace because of the shortage.

Who can sleep when their thermostat is set to 82 degrees? I need my home to feel as cold as possible otherwise I just can't sleep. 67 degrees is the perfect sleeping temperature.

If you find yourself in a hotel in which the air conditioner isn't blowing cold air, check the air conditioner filter. Chances are it's going to be filthy.

This idea is cheap and easy, and if it really works could just help you get some relief from these high temps and get you through the next few months.
