I live in a 1900 sq ft ranch style house in Richmond TX. Built in 1984 with no energy conservation construction at all. In 100 degree weather the house would not cool below 80. We didn't stay very comfortable when it was really hot.
We cool here 9 months out of the year with 3-4 months of 90-100 degrees.
My electric bill used to run $350-450/month. Last year I replaced all the siding,windows and doors. I also installed a high efficiency AC unit. We now stay cool and comfortable and the electric bill runs $200-300 now.
My old unit would run 24/7 when it was hot. It never did catch up. The new one runs a lot also but not as much and it catches up and hold a consistent temp inside.
Your heat wave is the norm for us down here. I suspect that your AC unit is 20 years old? outdated technology, and or may need to be serviced. Your Folks unit may be newer and in better shape.
My AC guy did the energy efficiency inspection for no charge. Granted I've dealt with him for a lot of years and he replaced my AC.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
