A/C working properly? Cost -> lower temp?

If you can't see where I'm helping the OP, that's your problem.

If you can't understand what I post, maybe you should go back to school.

Oh that's right, you helped the OP by telling her to use Midnight and Noon... LOL, she received better help after that!!!! LMAO

So there are three numbers here, the setting of the thermostat, the thermometer in/on the thermostat that is meant to say the temp of the room at the thermostat, and the separate thermometer. I don&#39;t know how common it is, but it&#39;s possible that the first two won&#39;t be the same, even when the AC (or furnace) switches off.

The important thing is actually not what the thermostat is set for, the setting, but what the temp of the rooms are when the AC or furnace is running. If the room never gets as cool as it is set for, judging by the thermometer on the thermostat or possibly better yet, the separately bought thermometer, the setting should be lowered to see if that gives a lower temp. Same in the winter if it doesn&#39;t get hot enough.

BTW, wHERE IS the thermostat? Not in the living room? What is it set for now?

That&#39;s pretty good.

That&#39;s still lower than it was when you first posted. A lot of light shines in that room maybe?

That doesn&#39;t seem good. Do you have neighbors with similarly shaped apartments facing the same direction etc, especially with the same AC? Maybe you can compare with them.

I don&#39;t think you ever told me the outside temp. If it&#39;s a 100, the AC might run all the time.

Why would it be underhanded? Why do you say it would only "look" like it was working. It&#39;s 71 and 78 which is a lot cooler than the 83 it was when you first posted. Maybe it was running at the wrong speed and he set it right**. Why are so many things underhanded by you?

**Mine only has one speed, but newer ones had more speeds and I was under the impression that eitehr there was one speed for heat and one speed for AC (and one speed for dehumidify if it had that fairly uncommon feature) OR that the AC or heat might vary the fan speed on its own. I don&#39;t know which is true, or maybe both.

But if it&#39;s working better and there is an 18 degree difference bwteen the input and output of the evaporator (inside) why would you think he was underhanded? Even if it is not perfect yet, and even if perhaps there were to be something else that could be fixed, why wouldn&#39;t you assume he had mostly fixed it, or it mostly fixed itself before he left, instead of again saying something is underhanded?

Did you know a lot of underhanded people when you were younger?

I hope you can help others by telling them the difference between AM and PM. LOL

Kenny-

You&#39;re not reading very carefully....I never told anyone the difference between AM & PM

by that I assume you meant 12AM vs 12PM

I merely suggested using noon & midnight......like most people do, like I&#39;m sure you do

I&#39;d bet even you don&#39;t use 12PM or 12AM

you use noon & midnight.....right?

12 AM, 12 PM, Noon and Midnight.....

Sure helped her get better replies, Eh Sherlock? LMAO

you&#39;re still missing the point....her lack of good replies had nothing to do with 12AM or 12PM it had do with her crappy attitude & sloppy posts

I doubt anything could help her get better replies

she was clueless about how even to pose her questions or describe her situation

& my suggesting she use noon & midnight was not towards the end of getting her better replies ....

you actually use 12PM? I seriously doubt your veracity on this but stranger things have happened

Sloppy posts?

What&#39;s that about the kettle?

Hint - an occasional capital letter and/or any punctuation might help.

Oh, I see. You save them up and place them randomly so they can average out.

I use white space in lieu of punctuation & to improve readability.

If its not working for you & you&#39;re having trouble, sorry about that..

But it looked like Kenny, et al were reading them just fine.

They were mostly short so I didn&#39;t think they&#39;d be tough to parse.

I&#39;ll revert to a more traditional format per your comment.

Is that better?

I can see your point of view.

I think that a post that endeavors to solicit help or advice needs to be very clear.

Because the poster is asking for help from people donating their time. it is the responsibility of the soliciting poster to be clear & forthcoming with the details surrounding their request.

Further more they are getting free advice, often from people who normally sell this advice. So the soliciting poster needs to behave in a deferential & respectful manner.

A post (or posts) that is mere comment or commentary can be more informal / less structured.

Seems reasonable to me.

The meridian is noon.

AM (ante meridian) or PM (post meridian) identifies which of two possible times of day a time might be. 3 PM is the 3:00 after the meridian, the

3:00 after noon, 3:00 in the afternoon. 11 AM is the 11:00 before the meridian.

This makes 12:00 post meridian (PM) the 12:00 after noon. Strangely enough, being after noon means it isn&#39;t noon. The only 12:00 in the day after noon would be midnight, except that that&#39;s usually considered to be in the next day, so there is no 12:00 PM.

Those who are logical about it will determine that the two 12:00 times of day need a different differentiation. Accordingly, we call one noon and the other midnight. Some people abbreviate these as 12:00 N and 12:00 M.

(Which of course is just a continuation of what HeyBub said.)
