A loaded question

[Charley L. Bottger]

BE honest how many of you guys while inspecting a vacant house in the summer time and when you enter the home it is 90+ degrees inside and the A/C is turned off at the thermostat the first thing you do is turn on the A/C to start the cooling down process while you are inspecting the interior. A yes or no answer is sufficient

[Linas Dapkus]

Maybe, it depends.

[Jeffrey R. Jonas]

Sometimes, but not normally.

[Charley L. Bottger]

Ok 18 views and only 2 people would venture a answer I take it that 16 don't know if they start the A/C or not

[Jeffrey R. Jonas]

They're afraid of you Charley!

[Ken Ruppert]

I do. If it off at the thermostat and the breaker is in the on position, then most likely that the crankcase heater has been on and no damage will occur. Is that what you are getting at or is there something more to your question.

[Christopher Currins]

It's not the first thing I do, but I do turn on AC at 90 plus temp.

YES In consideration of the above.

Now we are getting somewhere I don't really care when you turn it on just want to know if you do turn it on with a indoor ambient of 90+

How can you damage the compressor with an outdoor ambient of 90 degrees even if the unit had no crankcase heater and most conventional A/C units don't have

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Yes, and if not, why not. A/c pretty simple up here. More important to know if the Furnance comes on. Right about now too!!
