Stupid Midwest (Chicagoland) weather will again have a heat index of 100-105-deg. F today.
Yesterday, I set the thermostat at 74-deg. F. Well, guess what? It was too hot for the AC to keep up with the heat, so the house held at 77-deg. F. (Dear Hubby said that if it runs constantly throughout the day, it could freeze over and stop working all together.)
I'd like to know:
1) Is this common with everyone's AC (i.e., that it can't keep up once you hit a certain high temp., and that it could freeze and stop working)?
2) If you house temp. reaches above 75-deg., do you take other cooling measures for your bunnies (e.g., run a fan, etc.)?
My concern is that the AC may stop working (freeze up) while we're on vacation and during the afternoon when a pet sitter isn't here.
