I think my life depends on these two fans and the electricity. The left one is already 20 years old, and I fixed it several weeks ago using WD-40. The right one is bought when I was fixing the left one. What amazed me is that those two fans have a similar motor inside.

The house is too old to install an AC.

@skyblond How is a house too old for AC?

Also, I feel your pain. Was pretty much shit here too until I finally got AC.

@trinsec The circuit is too old, and it's poorly designed. 5 houses share the same circuit and breaker. Two of them installed AC, and the circuit breaker is very likely to pop up when they are both powered on and doing the work. Those houses are built around 199X, I'm not sure when but it's in that range. The electricity is poorly designed (we have very limited wall plugs, and we used an extension cord to power the AC, which I think is high not recommended and risky), I don't understand why. Maybe people don't need five chargers to power their phones, laptops, and other fancy things back then? XD

@skyblond Heh, my house is from somewhere 1960's or a bit earlier. So the age doesn't matter.

Quality of the electricity circuit, however, yeah that does matter. Though I cannot imagine a house here that cannot support AC...

Can't you and your neighbours team up together and order the circuit to be fixed?

@trinsec I know there is something like a huge power bank that stores energy when people are not home and boosts the powerline when people need it. But I'm afraid those old wall wires will overheat and catch on fire.
