no such thing here. The upstairs unit was working hard so sleeping was OK. Anything else that depended on downstairs (cooking, working on my office, etc) was an inferno. I hope never to see that again with 100+ degrees outside.

I hear ya...i live in my grandparents 2400 sq ft ranch house built in 70'......new furnace Trane new 14SEER heat pump.....still hot upstairs...i am looking into those Mitsubishi units

and my A/C was broken for 2 weeks!!!!

My knowlegde of PAM reps is minimal...all I can say is the quality in excellent....I have had it in my pool everyday with out issue... the +\- is excellent as well... in my opinion of the 5 reps I have bought from Josh....this one is by FAR the most impresive....but so was my Ultimate PO 45 mm....I have had an excellent business relationship with Joshua and he continues to earn my business....

Rob

There was one ole boy from NC on here once that modded my 16610 ETA rep....shaved CG's...seals....correct 2.5 cyclops...added a solid link oyster bracelet....it was dead on in grams and fit am finish to my GEN Rolex....I wish I could remeber who he was.

Awesome, looking forward to receiving mine
