anyone else not a fan of CAC
my Dh is talking about getting it and I really don't want it. He thinks that I am crazy....but I like having the windows open. I really only like the AC on REALLY hot days or to sleep with.

Re: anyone else not a fan of CAC
i LOVE my CAC (especially on days like yesterday). why can't you compromise? have it installed and turn it on when it is really hot and humid and then on days like today, open the windows.

Re: anyone else not a fan of CAC
I love having the windows open but b/c we both have allergies, those days are few and far between. The CAC regulates the humidity - which is great for allergy sufferers - and in the end, you are using more energy with your window a/c than you would with a regulated CAC...and the CAC will coll of more surface area.
I would get it...open the windows when there's a nice cool breeze (come late September LOL) and keep the a/c going when it's hot (like it has been for the past month or so).

Re: anyone else not a fan of CAC
I love having my windows open in the spring & summer when there is no humidity.
With that said, I could not live without my CAC. To come home on days like yesterday & know it is cool, makes my entire day. It doesn't matter the temperature outside, I am always comfy in my house!

Re: anyone else not a fan of CAC
That is one reason we want to move. We want CAC and dont want to install it in our current house.

Re: anyone else not a fan of CAC
No, I am not really a fan of it. I only turn the AC on at night on really hot days. I am very comfortable with just a fan on. All the houses I have been in with CAC are always freezing, I need to wear a sweater, which IMO is ridiculous and a waste of energy. Its is also crazy IMO to have AC on from May-Oct.

this is kind of how i feel. I just don't think it is worth the cost of installation and running it only to use it on REALLY hot days. And I know if we have it, it will be on all the time when we really dont need it b/c it seems that everyone that has it can't live without it!

Re: anyone else not a fan of CAC
MY CAC has three zones, so I can really control it. But I only turn it on when its really hot. Like this past week or so, before that, I just left it off, windows open and attic fan on.

I love windows open but after moving into our house with CAC I don't know how I survived 3 years in an apartment with no AC!

Once you have CAC you will wonder how you ever lived without it.

Exactly. My DH didn't agree that it was a priority when we moved into our house, now he says it was the best money we ever spent.

Re: anyone else not a fan of CAC
I love it b/c it makes me feel like "I am on vacation in a hotel room".
I always tell my friends with CAC when I visit their house in Carle Place.
I LOVE hotel rooms b/c they are so cold....so I want it just to feel like I am in a hotel when I am really home!

Re: anyone else not a fan of CAC
We haven't been using it so much since we bought our house, mostly because we have been doing smelly work and like to air things out (getting floors finished, painting, etc.)
But I do like airing things out. Maybe open the windows in the morning when it's cool, then run it during the hottest part of the day? That's probably what we'll do, or leave it off at night if it's not broiling out.

I agree. We hardly ever use our AC. We turn it on for half an hour sometimes to cool the place down and then open all the windows and turn on the fans. I'm not a big fan of using so much energy to cool our home down.

You are actually using more energy by turning it on and then off...instead of leaving the temp higher when you are out for the day (78-82) and then having it go down to 72-78 when you are home. An electronic thermostat will help you keep you system more efficient.
