The past few days it has been about 88-92 degrees Fahrenheit here. The AC and whole house/attic fan are not ready to be used yet. So the upstairs of the house has been about 82-90 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and nights (depending on the room). We try to ventilate the house in the evening when the outside temp gets lower then the inside temp. I've been messing around with the various fans we have to try find the best way to cool the air. I'm mostly interested in cooling the rooms on the south west side of the house.
Is there something wrong with the house or insulation if the upstairs rooms are around 90 degrees? That just doesn't seem right. I know houses absorb heat in the summer and all that but geez! It's hot in here.
Any tips on cooling this place down? All the suggestions I've read on various websites aren't helping. I can't seem to get these fans/window fans to do much. I know people who use them and they usually get a nice breeze going through their house but I get nothing.
