A/C working properly? Cost - lower temp?
It's 90 deg. outside, humidity is 37%. The A/C is set to 80 deg. The
temp in the apartment is at 83 deg, and hasn't gone below that. The A/ C has been running non-stop for hours. The temp out of the vents is colder than the air in the apartment, but not a lot colder. (I don't have a thermometer.) Maintenance fixed the A/C only a month ago when it completely quit working. Our electric bill that month was $320 for a 800 sq ft apartment. Maintenance is coming tomorrow. How do I make sure they fix the unit right, or make the landlord replace it if it won't work properly? The electric bill is outragous. The unit doesn't show a manufacturing date, and I can't find the model no. on the manufacturer's website. Here's what the stickers say: Goodman Manufacturing Co, 1501 Seamist Dr, Houston, TX 77008 Model No. AW30-05C Part No. 20203-23 Regrig 22 Design PSIG 150 Heater Amps 208/240V Motor 1PH 60HZ 3.5 Amps 1/3 HP Single Circuit 17.3/20.0 Min Circuit Ampicity 26/29 Max Overcurrent Protection 30/30 UL Listed - G0587770080 Also, once the unit works properly, how much more does it cost to keep the apartment at 76 as opposed to 80 (above conditions)? Thanks |

Goodman 2 1/2 ton split systen Outside kept running. inside, airhandler fan, wasn't running. Opening side of airhandler, you could see the coil was frozen, It also froze part of the condensor coil, outside. It would be ok for a few days, then freexe up.

The electric bill is outragous. You really need a thermometer. The output of a properly-functioning A/C should be in the neighborhood of 20 degrees less than the room's ambient air. Cost varies dramatically depending on your location and the cost per KWH. For example, I'm in Houston (same latitude as Cairo) and my electric bill (for 1500 sq ft), keeping a temp of 72 degrees, was less than yours. Second the use of thermometer. It's the best test. As mentioned above, if working correctly, the output should be about 20F lower than the input (room temp). |

Thanks Generally speaking, you can save / spend about 2% for each degree, although that can vary significantly depending on the indoor / outdoor difference and the efficiency of your unit.. http://www.progress-energy.com/custs...lkit/step1.asp - "Most people can be comfortable with a setting of 78-80 degrees Fahrenheit, plus you'll save 7 percent to 10 percent of your cooling costs for each degree above 78." That seems a bit high vs. other sources I've read, but again, a lot depends on where you live, etc. When I lived in Charlotte, 76-78 was fine for us during the summer. Now that I'm in RI, 74F is on the warm side. I'd be curious to hear what someone in Phoenix might find comfortable at this time of the year. |

What specifically do I ask him tomorrow? (Types of HVAC certifications?) He is being sent by the landlord, which I don't pay for. Just searched Google - found EPA Section 608 Certification, NEMI - TABB certification, NATE, and HVAC Excellence. Comments? Yeah, you're not footing the bill. |

Thanks Generally speaking, you can save / spend about 2% for each degree, although that can vary significantly depending on the indoor / outdoor difference and the efficiency of your unit.. The power companies website (Progress Energy, NC) says there's a 10% increase in cooling costs per degree above a 78 deg setting. So set it at 88 (100% savings) on a hot 105 degree day and it should cost you nothing!!!! LMAO |
