Never used to need air conditioners in Big Bear but I quess that has changed.

I love my split units and yes so very quiet.

I have the insurance required water shut off valve. It’s called Flo by Moen. It learns your water usage . It’s one more app for the phone and it emails you your weekly usage.

Millcreek Hotshots on way to .25-acre fire

IC, Romaldo Navarro, says it is a slow-moving, smoldering fire that was started by lightning. It sits in area 37 just South of Cucamonga Peak

I think I remember a discussion recently regarding insurance companies requiring an water autoshutoff valve. I can’t seem to search for it. Anyone have recent experience with this?

Have a great day from all of us at SCM!

Thanks, KK. I resemble that remark!

Dave, when you are too old to do a full on split what do? You do….you do a MINI SPLINT.

tctahoe - Where did you buy the mini-splits and who installed them? thx..

Interesting discussion. I had never heard of mini-splits before. Thanks!

Kensington-aren’t those mini splits great? The A/C works great too. We had some put in last year and yes they’re a godsend. I was of the old thinking as well that fans will keep it cool. But these last few summers if we don’t get good monsoonal weather have been hot!!! So ya they’re great!!

Good thinking Kenai, it may not be needed much, but when it is, it's a godsend! Certainly nice to have.

Our warmest period is late June through early July, so we could be getting started a little early! But it's also supposed to be an above-average monsoon season, so that could help mitigate any extreme heat.

WOW! I just saw Ben's Weather predictions and we are looking at 80 degree days later this week. That seems a bit crazy and people say you don't need A/C in BB. I am glad I didn't listen and put in some Mini-Splits that cool and heat. I know some of the A/C guys don't like them up here but I'm on year 2 and I love them. They are way better than the window units and super quiet.
