First off someone from southern California calling anywhere a s*** hole...
LOL...
Literally the blind can feel the global warming..
112° yesterday, 115° today...
Our AC is just able to keep it under 78° at the peak of the day... I don't think this system was built for temp's over 100°...

Most everything AC unit sold in the PNW is designed for a high of 95 degrees. That’s why they have so much trouble keeping up with these temperatures. And that’s a best case scenario.

If you have a south facing home (like I do) that is a ranch style (like I do) where you have 75 feet or so of roof getting full on, direct sun hitting it the AC unit will start struggling at 85 or so.

Been fighting the wife to get some trees out front to help block some of the sun, but she doesn’t want to disturb the view.

For the last 6 years or so I’ve tried to get some solar company out here to see about getting solar panels on the roof because I wouldn’t have a power bill all summer and probably most of the year, but no one is interested.
