May 31, 2018. Madison, Mississippi. The New Air Conditioning.

Ken and I have never lived in Mississippi in the summer. In a normal year, we would be right now in Texas, followed by our summer in Nova Scotia. But now we are here where today the temperature was 95. We had noticed in the winter that the heat was less in the bedroom and TV room which was fine as we prefer the bedroom to be cooler but that does not work for the air-conditioning. As soon as the temperature went up, our bedroom was noticeably warmer than the rest of the house. We asked out ac man to see if something could be done. He tested and then brought two other folks. They all agreed with us. The bedroom and TV room are warmer than the rest of the house. When the house was built, two ac systems were installed, one for the lower level and one for the main floor. The problem is that the house is wide so by the time the cool air gets to the bedroom, it is warmer than the breakfast room. According to the experts, a third system should have been installed, serving the bedroom and TV room. In addition, they noted no insulation at all in the TV room. On the plans, the little room is shown as a porch but at some point, it was enclosed and someone forgot to add insulation. How the former owners put up with a warm bedroom I will never know. The solution was to install a new system. The men started work on Wednesday morning. By this afternoon it was running. They have a little cleaning up to do but the system works beautifully. Now when we walk into our bedroom it is not warmer than the rest of the house and we can keep the main part of the house warmer. Ken is happy. Now we must pay the bill.
