We kind of have to have central air here. It gets bad quick if it fails. Not a month has passed that I haven't needed to use it! (Even December/January) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation/page/2#post-1628146 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:14:14 +0000 hilsy85 1628146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>central air, with 3 zones (living room, LO"s room, our room). I wish we could leave the windows open but we don't have screens so we get bugs :( and it gets noisy at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation/page/2#post-1628140 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:11:00 +0000 bushelandapeck 1628140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have central air. I never had any air conditioning prior to us moving in 4 years ago and now I can't imagine living without it! So spoiled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation/page/2#post-1628123 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:03:47 +0000 snowjewelz 1628123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have central air. We turned off heat probably 2 weeks ago and we def try not to turn the a/c on till it gets hotter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation/page/2#post-1627993 Mon, 12 May 2014 05:24:31 +0000 nana87 1627993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same! Our ac units are in the master bedroom and living room. Not sure if the nursery will need one-- this room used to be my office and I was fine w a fan only, but I wasn't sleeping there. We thought she would be sleeping in our room in a bassinet longer, and so be in the ac room, but we transitioned her to her crib at 1 month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation/page/2#post-1627982 Mon, 12 May 2014 04:21:15 +0000 MrsKRB 1627982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily we have a ton of trees on our property so it keeps it pretty cool, when it gets super hot we just have a window fan in our bedroom at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation/page/2#post-1627947 Mon, 12 May 2014 00:34:51 +0000 Glitter 1627947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: same as yours! Units in the master bedroom and living room. LO sleeps with us but in a few months when we move him to the nursery we might need to get another unit in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation/page/2#post-1627944 Mon, 12 May 2014 00:27:37 +0000 tysonja 1627944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we don't have AC, but it's pretty cool at our place, even on the hottest days. </p> <p>we also don't have it in the car, though, and that is NOT fun :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation/page/2#post-1627922 Sun, 11 May 2014 23:23:21 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1627922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In Florida, central air is a requirement in my book. It would just be cruel and unusual otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation/page/2#post-1627913 Sun, 11 May 2014 22:56:28 +0000 Crystal 1627913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Central.

It rare in the PNW but I'm so glad we sprung for it. It's a heat pump so we get the benefit of using it in the winter as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627900 Sun, 11 May 2014 22:21:49 +0000 JessKas 1627900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My version of ac is a spray bottle of ice water and a fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627889 Sun, 11 May 2014 22:07:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 1627889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just moved from a rental with central air to a big old house with no a/c!! The sellers left us a big window unit and we've been buying units off of Craigslist for the past month (anything nearly new under $50!). We actually just installed them today because it hit 80 degrees. So far so good, and I actually prefer controlling each room's temp better than cooling the whole house with central air! So far, that is. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627883 Sun, 11 May 2014 22:02:41 +0000 keiki_mama 1627883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No ac! I'm going to be at home on maternity leave this summer so this should be interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627647 Sun, 11 May 2014 18:45:11 +0000 Caly 1627647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Mitsubishi Mini Splits...each room has one and can be independently controlled...one room warm, one cooler.

DS's room didn't have an AC in it when we moved in (in fact, no one in our line has an AC in that room) but we actually installed one before he was born because we had an overnight visitor staying there and it was way too hot to sleep without AC. Otherwise our visitor would have had to sleep in the living room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627595 Sun, 11 May 2014 17:56:09 +0000 tinyperson 1627595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Central air - used it for the first time today! Our upstairs gets so hot, and we can't open LOs windows because the neighbours upstairs smoke all the time. Poor thing was soaking after her nap! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627580 Sun, 11 May 2014 17:34:44 +0000 lemondrop 1627580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Central air- Been using it for the past 2 months on and off, and today is probably the last day we aren't using it as it is getting really hot from here on out :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627560 Sun, 11 May 2014 17:06:05 +0000 ElbieKay 1627560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have central air. We also have sliding doors at opposite ends of the apartment. The livingroom has a Juliet balcony, and both bedrooms open onto the fire escape. (We are on the top floor so we use our fire escape as a little terrace.). So, we have good cross ventilation when it's cool enough to open the doors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627547 Sun, 11 May 2014 16:49:56 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1627547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Central AC with two units - 1 for upstairs and 1 for down. It's already been in the 90s a couple days and with +90% humidity! AC is not an option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627526 Sun, 11 May 2014 16:18:19 +0000 lilyofthewest 1627526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have central AC. It has only been on for a few hours so far this year. I would like to have it on more than it has been, but Sweetie complains sbout being too cold even if I set it as 77 or. 78. </p> <p>I'm not sure how that works given that Sweetie is the one who only wants the heat on 63 in the winter... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627523 Sun, 11 May 2014 16:12:50 +0000 coopsmama 1627523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have central air, but honestly, don't have to use it all that often. It don't get into the 90's but a handful of times each summer and when it's in the 80's I find that a cross breeze with the windows open works just as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627508 Sun, 11 May 2014 15:49:12 +0000 googly-eyes 1627508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have central a/c. I like windows open but close them at night and upstairs it's not enough. It's our first time having central a/c and besides the dry air we love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627501 Sun, 11 May 2014 15:40:06 +0000 ninja 1627501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have any yet, but I'm super excited because we are replacing our 30 year old furnace with a heat pump/furnace split system next week! Can't wait to be able to not have a super hot upstairs during the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627492 Sun, 11 May 2014 15:33:19 +0000 charmed 1627492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have central air, but luckily our house stays pretty cool so I can keep the windows open most days. But I like it cold when I'm sleeping so I usually turn it on at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627482 Sun, 11 May 2014 15:21:47 +0000 Purpledaisy 1627482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Central air.

We are getting new windows so hopefully that helps a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627472 Sun, 11 May 2014 15:10:17 +0000 Dandelion 1627472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>central air. we actually had it replaced in the new house, so it should be pretty nice. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-ac-situation#post-1627471 Sun, 11 May 2014 15:09:17 +0000 mlm2934 1627471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a broken central a/c unit! lol. we live in the south and air unit isn't optional at all!! We have to call the repair guy Monday, we put it off last week since it was in the 70s and bearable with the ceiling fans going, but it's not feeling so great now that it's in the 80s. </p>
