    Speak for yourself, my friend’s AC broke in June and had to sleep in a 35°C room for weeks. Even the coldest water coming from his shower was high 20s.

      My AC broke in June, too, and it was pretty easy. Took about 3 weeks to fix, but my house of 7 managed.

      Idk why his AC affected his shower. That’s weird

      Good thing too, because my furnace also had a crack in it, and needed a full replacement.

      Sucks being out 20k but yay for not dying in our sleep.

        Because it was so hot outside the water lines supplying cold water also heated up.

          That’s probably why it was a lot easier for us. We’d just take colder showers and generally hang outside until night.

          I didn’t even know that could happen. Where was this? That’s wild.
