Been around 110+ for a few weeks here in Scottsdale. Pretty normal for this time of year.
Monsoon will cool it off a bit...but then humidity.
During this time of year I rarely go outside. In the early morning to clean the pool...usually 85 - 90 at 6 AM.
If I spend more than 10 minutes outside, I'm drenched and fatigued (flatbutt)...so I strip down and dive into the pool.
I just had my ducts sealed a few weeks ago ($1,000) and what an amazing difference. According to the instruments, my ducts were super leaky.
House built in 1960.
Thermostat has always been set for 76 and my bedroom is so much cooler now.
In fact, when the A/C in on, I can't have the bedroom fan on...too cold.
May set the thermo to 78.
Also, had my A/C unit serviced...some leaks sealed, etc.
Looking forward to lower elect. bill, also.
