That High is just gonna stay sitting over the middle of the continent. The rest of the month is 99*F-104*F
Energy usage for cooling has been interesting. Sunday was a bit over 100*F. Energy used for growroom cooling was 13.29kWh. Cooling energy used in house cooling was only 7.39kWh. That's not using my central ac. I installed a fairly large window unit in the living room. It's one with a dual inverter. Start up load is very minimal. It could be easily ran on a generator and support other loads.
I really wished I had started growing in the bedroom from the beginning. I would have installed a window unit with the same tech as the other unit. The portable AC I'm using in the growroom has the same dual inverter tech, but it's a one vent style. Single Vent Exhaust causes make up air to be drawn in to the growroom, so it gives up a lot of efficiency. I had to block off the central AC vent to prevent hot air being drawn in from the AC venting sitting in the attic.
Hopefully the grid here stays up!
