Thread: air conditioner

Craigslist.

Central air!! Summers here in NE Ohio are very hot and HUMID!! I don't know how I lived without it as a kid.

More BTU's = More Brrrr. 5000 btu is only enough for 10x12 bedroom (closed off). We have a 6000 in the bedroom and a 16000 for living room and kitchen. If your house only lost 3 degrees overnight when you had a 25 degree differential, that's good ! Insulation works the same way holding cold as it does heat. So beef up the BTU's, block off unused rooms, close storm windows and shades to keep heat out. The way I figure, after working all day, if A/C ends up costing me an extra $5 a day in electric bills...SO BE IT.

Get a split unit if it's your place... They're awesome ; )

Google is your friend... But basically, it's a smaller AC unit, that only the fan mounts to the wall. Condenser is separate and you run the collant lines to the fan unit. Makes heat and cool air. No need for duct work! 1/2 the cost of a Central Air system. Can get single, dual, 3, 4 units... Look into it. They're great for basement dehumidification too...

Lack of Oxygen getting to you?

part of me was envisioning something dirty.

See above ^^^

the split unit might be exactly what I'm looking for.

Well, if it was something dirty and you're looking for it, is nothing I can help you with!

Rule 34.

is 68 to hot? thats cold, getting near dam cold! turn the heat on!

68-72 year round... 75 in summer is like Ice Cold and too cold sometimes in my opinion!

I live in a bipolar climate, during the summer we regularly see triple digit Temps, winter it can get down to -40 with the windchill.
There have been day that in the morning it was sunny and 75, by the afternoon it was rainy and in the 50s, and by the evening it was 30 and snowing and the roads are closed.

I have a portable unit that my mom gave me last year when she got a new one. I can get details on it of you like.

1) It keeps 1 room cold. I have it in my bedroom and the door closed. Gets pretty cold in there if I leave the A/C on.
2) It is damn noisy. I slept with ear plugs last summer and survived. My moms new one is not that much quieter.

I've heard some if those portable ones are a little noisy.

Ya, if you are a light sleeper they may be an issue. I make it work, cuz I'd rather be cool and comfy than schweaty and no sleepy. LOL
