Friday, August 27, 2010

We sure have grown to appreciate air conditioning in our bedroom. For the 2nd night in a row we’ve had to sleep with only a fan on. It is hot and humid and sleep only comes in short intervals. We did make an amazing discovery during the night, we actually do have electricity. But only half of the apartment’s 220 Volts is getting to us. The other “Line” or the ground wire is broken/damaged/burned up. We thought the lights were working because the “Inversor” (Converter 12 VDC to 110VAC) was kicked in. But if it was working correctly we would only have electricity as long as our 4 backup batteries would last. If we had known we weren’t running on battery power we could have had more fans blowing on us all night.



We finally got our apartment electricity fixed. And none too soon, it was 5:30pm before “Edesur” arrived and replaced the burned wire. We were afraid we were going to have to spend our 3rd night without AC. But it’s fixed now and we have our AC back. We love our little window AC unit in our bedroom.
