Small temp swings or set heater higher?

I have good news...all good news =)

Today was not cheap but cheaper than a chiller and my whole house is cooler.

For starters I went to Rona and bought some of this energy saver window film for my kitchen and patio windows on the back of the house. You're supposed to follow their directions and use some special spray, their squeegee blah blah blah. I tossed it up and cursed the whole time and tried my best to squeeze bubbles out. It is pretty ugly but my blinds and drapes hide the marble-like texture my windows now have haha.

So I wasn't able to get it up before the sun hit and still my living room has got no hotter than 23 today. Now when i *do* turn my livingroom AC on for just a bit the hot kitchen does not counter-act the cooling effect either. I dropped it to 22.5 in a few minutes before wife said **** off.

I also installed the 4-fan Azoo unit.



The nylon screws interfered with my skimmer cup and I was pretty ****ed it wouldn't fit. Then I realized the adjustable mounts and symetrical on both sides so I swapped them so the screws are outside the tank not inside. Fits great.

So the bottom line is I am a rock-star now and I've set my controller to 79 and it is staying there no problem. The fan has kicked on twice today and each time it does it's on maybe 2 or 3 minutes. I'm hoping with the window film up I can battle the even hotter days.

Yeehaw.
