How To keep cool with BROKEN air conditioner?

Answer 1

we just turned our on for the first time this year and it is not blowing any cool air. it has freon but still no go.

89 degrees here and it is getting pretty uncomfortable.

my suggestions are drink lots of cold tea or water or Gatorade.

if you have some bandannas soak them in cold water and place them around your neck, this works wonders.

eat ice.

keep your head cool

Answer 2

Visit neighbour with working air conditioner on pretence of having a friendly chat and a cool drink (which you should supply). try an attractive neighbour of the opposite s*x and there may be no pretence and if things go well you can move in and forget about your old useless air con. best of luck, look forward to receiving wedding invite.

Make sure the shades are drawn if the sun hits a window.

If you have a window fan allow it to blow cool air in at night - close all other opening and have it blow the warm air out in the afternoons/evening.

Clean the coils on your fridge, if it's working inneficiantly it will produce a bit of heat.

If you have a screened in porch you can find a low consumption 'mister' at the yard and garden store - mist over the screen for evaporative cooling effect. Maybe hang some muslin or burlap.

Run a dehumidifier in the house if you have one, it will feel cooler.

Keep a towel on ice, drape it over your head or around your neck.

Take brief cool showers as often as needed.

Exert yourself in the cool hours.

Drink plenty of clear liquids.

Answer 4

If you have an electric fan and a block of ice you can cool the sorrounding air inside the room.  Put the block of ice around 4 inches thick and 8 inches wide in a basin and have it placed in front of the fixed fan. Doing this, you imitate the principle of cooling just like your broken air conditioner.
