I'm in the middle double checking A/C coils today getting ready. Most don't recognize there is a problem until the systems are maxed out. By then the HVAC guys are running non-stop.

I dont use or need A/C during the day. I only use it while sleeping. Is it best to turn "off" the A/C. or simply raise the temp control to like 80 and then bring it back down to 65 at night??? Got A/C installed for house last year.

Bring the stat down at night. If you have central air I'd leave it so it runs just a little during the day to help with humidity.
It will also help that your system won't have to work as hard at night when you crank it down.

It is a central air unit.

Customers wouldn’t be too happy with 80 degrees

We're supposed to warm up to a whole 70 degrees on the north shore! Not sure how we'll handle it.

The heat did interrupt a camping trip we had planned. Had a 5 day weekend planned down near La Crosse but saw the highs are supposed to be 96 each day over the weekend so we rescheduled that.

Left the Cities Sunday morning it was 85 degrees at 8AM, got back up North to Superior WI at 11am it was 55 degrees . Gotta love Lake Superior free air conditioning!!!!!

Martha and Vandella's "Heat Wave" is a different song than above. Linda Ronstadt also covered "Heat Wave". The Who also did a cool cover as well.

Correct. Neither seem to be about a weather heat wave. I looked at the Martha and Vandella's version but thought the Fitzgerald version was better suited for our current Heat Wave. Different songs with different lyrics. But either way. Here is the other version.
