We’ve spent the last two weekends working on the air conditioning system mentioned in the previous post. \u00a0Some of those days on the roof were actually pretty nice but some where terribly hot.<\/p>\n

Last summer when I was looking at old newspapers, I found an article from July 7th, 1901 where 451 people died due to heat in Baltimore IN ONE WEEK! \u00a0Air conditioning seems like a luxury, but after reading this it seems like a necessity.<\/p>\n

As for getting ourselves some much needed air conditioning, we have mounted our compressor on the roof with some 6″ lag screws. \u00a0It looks sort of strange standing like a monolith from up the street, but can’t be seen from the opposite sidewalk. \u00a0Its set back from the face of the house by 7 feet. \u00a0We plan to mount it to the deck next spring which will be set 8′ back as dictated by Baltimore City Code<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the unit was in place, we ran our line sets and electrical through downspouts to each indoor unit. \u00a0To finish up we need to tie in our 240 volt power wire on both ends. \u00a0One to a double breaker and the other to a cutoff switch by the unit (code). \u00a0Once we have power we’ll vacuum down the system and release the charge that came in the machine. \u00a0If all is well, we’ll spray foam the holes in the walls and we’ll be done.<\/p>\n
