I eat one hot dog a year starting five years ago. Any time during the month of July is usually when that happens.

You wasted your once yearly hot dog indulgence on a Maverick hot dog?

Yep. I sure did

That’s cuz you’re always cheffing. The rest of us need hot dogs occasionally. 🤣

Don't waste all that cold air in your ducts, switch your fan to constant so that

BYUFBDAD

4:54pm

I set mine to do that about a month ago hoping it would help balance the temps better across the house. I think it might

Mike Honcho

5:01pm

in high humidity areas it might introduce more humidity, as the coils aren't

BYUFBDAD

5:09pm

My ducts are in the attic. Running constantly pulls heat from attic and warms the house. My ecobee learns how long it

supertux

5:07pm

Seems like modern smart thermostats could keep the fan on for a few minutes after the AC cycles off

Skeptical Optimist

5:09pm

They do

supertux

5:09pm

Going through my ecobee settings and I don't see anything about it - does it just do it

Skeptical Optimist

5:11pm

I don't see it on my Ecobee either.

BYUFBDAD

5:12pm

It's called "Cool Dissipation Time" and it is defaulted to Auto. But you can change it to a specific time.

supertux

5:14pm

Actually it looks like the default is 30 seconds. I have mine set to Auto.

supertux

5:16pm

I'd bet after 30 seconds the air coming out is still blowing cold, but your fan

BYUFBDAD

5:18pm

When set to Auto the thermostat detects the optimal dissipation time and uses that.

supertux

5:22pm

Another cool feature of modern thermostats

NanoFab Coug

5:41pm

My ecobee doesn't do that. At least not automatically. It does have a setting to tell it to run the fan a minimum number

supertux

5:46pm

honeywell does

NanoFab Coug

5:48pm

so just using your lungs instead of the $5 filter. 😉

BYUFBDAD

5:11pm

That doesn’t make sense with modern AC units

kotacoug

5:11pm

Well, I think it's worth a try to see if there's a noticeable difference, for me

BYUFBDAD

5:17pm

It isn't universally recommended. There are pros and cons.

supertux

5:19pm

that's exactly what I said in my post. And your link compares keeping it on

BYUFBDAD

5:21pm

The point is, there are tradeoffs to keeping it on even when the AC is off. That post discusses them. In many cases

supertux

5:29pm

These are the downsides listed on your link

BYUFBDAD

5:46pm

Correct

supertux

5:47pm

It sounds like you re very pro "run it in constant mode" and have already made

Uh no. But also funyuns on burgers are good to.

Uh no. But there's very few things baked beans wouldn't make better.

Rusty Crab Daddy

How hard is it to change a AC capacitor. AC is blowing hot air and I want to try

scrubbed03

4:23pm

Piece of cake. Turn off the breaker, open the box, discharge the capacitor with a screwdriver, unplug old, plug in new.

supertux

4:24pm

Look at a youtube video to see how it's done. It's and easy job

Cougrrrs Roll

Sourcing the matching capacitor can be hard if it’s older. But watch YouTube

I got about 3 more years out of mine when I did this. Easy job like was stated.

O Gaucho

easy, just be methodical and don't forget to discharge it safely. Then, get on

Super easy. 5-10 minutes tops. Just remember to take out the ac breaker

What Steve Young said about Jim McMahon and playing at BYU

84 natlchamps

3:47pm

McMahon was amazing. Teams would run different defenses to try to stop him ... drop 10, rush 2 then rush 10, drop 2.

ManicBlue

4:05pm

I don’t think any of us that were around then exclude Jim from the 80s greats. He was a superb QB and a good punter.

Brisco

4:14pm

McMahon is the best QB ever at BYU

Dan

5:25pm

We used to cheer in the stadium when BYU got a holding penalty

TLCougar

4:42pm

Good memories. But, it was actually another 15 yards which was the penalty then

Noodles Romanov

5:44pm

I would say it just gave McMahon more room to work

MadHawaiian
