While I've used a small swamp cooler during my college days, since then the places I've lived have all had central air, and so I have had no experience with the portable A/C units.

If you don't have extremely dry air, you'll be adding humidity and raising the heat index number of the living area. Without a whole house AC, a portable AC is often a good choice. Around 12-14,000 BTU/hr, and the better ones have an inlet and exhaust hose so only outside air is used. They use the space's humidity to condense moisture out and add evaporative cooling to the coils, exhausting the humidity outdoors. I use one in my home since AC is needed only two or three weeks total each cooling season. Otherwise a whole house fan fits the needs for me.<br /><br />Spot on about the use of window dressings and coverings to reduce heat inlet, especially from the sun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
