Dying AC

[sfreeman8]

Ours went out before last summer we were quoted 9k.  Didn't get it fixed.  We have ceiling fans  in every room (old house 1956) and I generally don't like ac but it was brutal last summer.  Can't even get a window ac because the windows we have aren't the type that open from the bottom up.  I have sliding windows or windows that crank open.  Looking into a portable ac and dehumidifier. 

They have ACs for slider windows. We had one when we had slider windows.  They're like hen's teeth.

I don't turn on my AC until around 3 p.m. and only run it until 7-8 p.m. The house is cool in the morning until the sun gets right above the house. Then running it, it gets too cold in here around 8 p.m. Even though it's only 10,000 BTU, it cools most of the house with fans directed into different areas of the house. I do need to buy a new circular fan, though. I heard a noise the other night and then a loud bang. One of the blades fell off! It was a good 3-speed fan, nice and quiet, and was my mom's from before 2000. Wonder how long a new fan will hold out. Probably not as good as the old one.
