We have a 2600 sq ft house. Has anyone else received an electric bill this month for this amount? We keep our thermostat on around 78 and use ceiling fans. What are we doing wrong? Is it the higher rate? Last month it was around $350.00.

quite a bit of moisture in the soil. So much so that the surface of the earth under the house grows a kind of non dangerous mildew. (In this neighborhood, the ground water is quite high during wet weather). I have installed a sump pump and in the wettest of weather it pumps out lots of water but I'm wondering if someone out there knows of other solutions. I've thought of covering the ground under the house with a plastic tarp material. Are there fans for this sort of thing to help the ground dry out? Any other thoughts/solutions would be mucho appreciated!

Had a service man come out to the home and he said that a higher SEER would put more pressure on my 10 year old home pipes.

how can i keep my apartment cool?i live on the top floor, during the morning hours its nice and comfortable. but once it gets to be about 2 or 3 the temperature rises, FAST, it can get to be around 90 easily in here. we have fans in the main room, our daughters room, and our room. but they don't seem to help much. and it doesn't seem that we have air conditioning in these apartements (which i find totally outlandish). we have a thermostat and i set it to the temp i want it to hover around and it only seems to be a fan that is blowing and that certainly doesn't help. i pretty much keep all the blinds closed. and the house as dark as possible. moving to another apartment is far from feasible for us, terminating our lease early and paying the penalties would kick our butts. i'm getting worried about my small children. is there anything that we can do?

I noticed that my secondary drain line from my home A/C evaporator coil was dripping, so I went to the attic to check the primary drain. I disconnected the primary drain line and it was wet inside, but water was not backed up in the line and I could easily blow through it.

All seems to be clear, however, the secondary drain outlet is still dripping into the pan. Why is it doing this?

I did defrost the frdige/freezer and vaccumed the bottom and rear.

I turned on the fridge/freezer yesterday, and today I do see that frost is again showing in the freezer.
The ice maker did produce a small amount of ice, but not as much as it usually has in the past.

What may be the problem? What is best solution?

Thanks

I have a new central air conditioner. Normally, it cools down the house 5 min per degree, so it takes around 25 min to lower the temperature from 80 to 75 degrees upstairs. I have 2 floors. Today, I went out to run errands and didn't get back until 1pm, when it became 91 degrees outside and 85 degrees inside. I kept the AC on for several hours, and it didn't cool the house below 78 degrees until 9pm.

Does the AC work less effectively when it's really hot outside, and the coils don't cool off very fast in 90 degree heat? Is that why it didn't go below 78 degrees inside till night time?

Is there such as thing as a super-hot day when even a 3.5 ton AC gets overwhelmed? Is there any point to "staying ahead" by turning the AC on at 11am if we think a hot one is coming in order to start cooling earlier before the house gets really hot?

My dryer is broken! We recently moved and when I went to use my dryer, I turned it on for about 10 minutes and it started smelling all burnt (like electrical burnt smell). So, I turned it off and when you touched any part of the dryer it was really hot...almost too hot to touch. Does anyone know what is wrong with it? It is an older model Kenmore dryer.
