You have a maid, a gardener, a dog walker and a wealthy husband, but you don't have AC? What are you like Scarlett O'Hara where you have a house nigger to hand fan you during the summer?

That's weird, I thought everyone in the United States had AC except niggers and white trash who put those box fans in their windows.

User, you're a moron.

And I say that in the most affectionate way possible.

A nigger would probably cost me more. I thought a central air unit would cost WAY more so I've suffered 10-15 days a year, for YEARS, without it.

I have someone coming out tomorrow to plan it out, give me a bid. He said they could install as early as the end of next week!! Woo-hoo!

I'm not sure what he's going to recommend regarding duct work/registers. Our registers are either in the floor or a couple inches above floor level (most are in the floor). I've read that it's much more ideal for AC registers to be near the ceiling.

My husband is going to love his Father's Day present! I'm going to wrap up the signed contract and put it in a card for him.

Heat rises, cold descends.

Yeah, I'm not going to trim this post on my phone but I just read that if u get an AC system with enough "blow up" capability, it's do-able. They also have split systems or something where they put in a separate, upper register in up to 4 rooms or something but that sounds ugly (and it's more pricey). I'll see what the guy recommends. Typically our downstairs area is bearable but the bedrooms are all on the second floor and it gets hot as hell up there certain times of the year. I dunno...we have 4 bedrooms; maybe the split system would suffice(although I have this vision of an energy war between the hot air attempting to rise from downstairs battling with the cooler air coming out of the vents upstairs=hugemongous energy bills.

We'll see.

Such is the case in most 2 or more story homes. We have them here, but they're not the norm. Ceiling fans help.
