While cooking lunch my little place got really hot. The sun is blazing down on the roof and it's a typical Florida muggy day, and it was getting really uncomfortable in here. The little air conditioner unit in the bedroom just isn't up to the job of cooling the whole place. I said enough is enough already.
After lunch I got a ride down to Lowes and purchased a small 8,000 BTU window unit for the living room. It took me about 30 minutes to remove the window panels, install the brace and the air conditioner. It's been running for about 10 minutes now and the place is really starting to feel good and comfortable.
It's a pretty cool ac unit (pun intended). It has electronic controls including settings like energy saving mode, temperature setting, and full automatic. It's the first window ac unit I've ever seen that came with a remote control.
I'd been putting off buying another unit for too long now, figuring I could just bear the heat since I'm not home all that much. Today I decided that's exactly why I should buy one. I want to be comfortable while I'm enjoying my down time.
I mounted the thing where it blows through the entire length of the place so it may well be able to keep the whole place cool. If so I can just not run the bedroom unit at all unless the temps get really outrageous.
Sometimes it's worth it to spend a couple of hundred on comfort.
