Some moron thought that RIGHT NOW would be a perfect time to test the A/C in the building and it's likely almost as cold in here as it is outside.

A/C always works well when the outside air is colder than the desired temp.

Right now Actually the reverse is true. A/C works by transferring the warm outside air over coils and then converts it into cold air. An A/C unit will not work effectively below a certain outside ambient temperature

This is very true. However, if the system is designed well, it can simply draw outside air in and give the appearance of working well when it's not working at all.


Interesting anecdote... we have a freezer in our garage and a lot of our food spoiled during a very cold week a while back. If we had left the door open it would have been fine!

Right now you are correct it will bring in the cold air, but it is harmful to the system, the coils ,the condenser and the evaporator
