@ thelightingman : Took the unit apart , cleaned and lubed the fan motor , cleaned the condenser coil and evap. coil reassembled and reinstalled and all is right with the world !! 2001 Frigidaire 9,950 BTU .  @ xmaslightguy : I have 3 window units. All three spend the "off season" sitting on the floor directly under the windows they're installed in during the summer ! I don't prefer to carry these things any farther than I have to !!

Today was burning, had a heat index in the 105-110 range and the air quality was terrible! Had to mow the lawn on monday, had to chug a few glasses of ice cold water just to survive, the worst part was that the air was completely still and humid as all hell.

We don't have such hot weather here in Kiryat Ata (32*C or 89.6*F), but my room at my hostel and the rest rooms of my hostel, have wall split A/C, which cools much better than a window A/C due to their design and the size and cooling capacity of part of them. We had window A/Cs in Israel at the 20th century, but this type of A/C is banned here in Israel, due to very low energy efficiency (COP=1.5-2 for window A/Cs versus COP=3-4.5 of split ductless A/Cs), very low cooling and heating capacity and their noise level.

Quote from: wide-lite 1000   @ xmaslightguy : I have 3 window units. All three spend the "off season" sitting on the floor directly under the windows they're installed in during the summer ! I don't prefer to carry these things any farther than I have to !! I like that idea: my one unit spends the 'off season' in the basement, so that's lugging through the basement, and then up 2 flights of stairs. Then comes the true pain of actually 'installing' it, a task I do not look forward to (same goes for un-installing).... But I did said 'install task Monday evening, because going to bed when its above 90 in the room, is.. um.. isn't great .lol. Your comment of "upstairs gets brutal" can be pretty fitting. I think I'm going to remove the Christmas lights stored on a shelf below the window, and start keeping the AC unit there in off-season, so atleast I can avoid the part of having to lug it up/down the stairs.

In a separate bedroom..One of my fishtanks got to nearly 94, others were 90 or 91. For something that should *ideally* be low-mid 70's (and no more than low 80's). that deff ain't good. We actually got 2 little thundershowers this afternoon (not storms. just showers.) but it was enough that I skipped watering the garden tonight.

Quote from: Gearjammer For a state that gets so cold in the winter I had no idea that Colorado could get so hot in the summer. I thought it would at least be cooler at night. I guess it's more of a dry heat rather than the humid, tropical heat of South Florida? It's the humidity that really makes life miserable!! Yeah big temperature spread between winter & summer here! 80's & 90's in June & July is pretty normal. Down in Denver it got just above 100 earlier this week..they always get a few 100+ degree days in the summer (where I am is closer to the mountains/higher elevation than the city, so the chance of 100 is pretty rare) It does cool off at night - into the 60's or 70's. But heat gets trapped up in the upstairs bedrooms (particularly my north-facing one (doesn't help that I have heat-generating stuff like fluorescent lights for my houseplants)) And yep its dry, pretty much desert-like heat - pretty common for daytime summer humidity values to be in the 10%-20% range. And you're absolutely right its  humidity that it miserable (hot or cold!)

I got a severe-warned thunderstom Tues evening, then another storm with a good lightning-show Tues night. And on Weds night I got an awesome lightning show & severe-warned storm. Forget "any objects" or "any people" : my 'true love' is thunderstorms. .lol. Unfortunately they are sorta uncommon here..
