My Old House
Where’s the Air ? Part II !

I awoke again this morning (at 3:30 AM) to find the interior blower going… but the house seemed warm! The thermostat said it was 72 degrees… and that’s what I had it set at… but the house just seemed too warm for that to me!

Well, since the new thermostat is NOT programmable, there were a lot fewer buttons for me to push. But this time, I got a pad of paper, a pen, and my watch.

Over the next 40 minutes or so, I basically learned that:

1) The interior blower was running constantly.
2) But the exterior blower / unit would start up about every 11 minutes…. and then run for only 2 minutes.

This seemed strange to me. You see, we had bought a new air conditioner at our PREVIOUS house about 2 years ago. And it always seemed to me like, whenever the inside blower was on, the outside one was too!

Well, I posted a question about it on the Yahoo Groups FixerUppers mailing list. As I write this, I haven’t heard anything from anybody yet.

I would have called Ed by now, but a cold front came through today and now I’ve got the A/C off anyways.

Still, I plan on discussing this with some people and, if necessary, contacting Ed about it.
