My unit's central air unit says it's blowing 61 F, but it sure as shit doesn't feel like it. I out in a maintenance request and they claimed they fixed it. While I fight them over this, I can't bear this heat and humidity in Florida anymore. I just want my bedroom cooled, it's big enough for a queen-sized bed, a desk, and two drawers. The problem is I have these windows, and if I get a normal AC unit, there will be a huge open hole above it. I also live on ground floor, so keeping my window open when I'm out also no good. What are my options? I do IT work, and I've seen self-contained, small rectangular units above the door in data closets for keeping the space chilled. I also saw a video on insulating a cooler, filling it with ice/frozen water and pumping the air in it out with a fan and vents. For options, on top of standard power outlets and mounting whatever on the wall, I'm willing and able to run tubes to and from my bathroom for tap water and discharge back.
>>2996694>blowing 61 Fdear retard you probably froze it up, dehumidifying requires a slower fan speed, otherwise you're just blowing the moisture off the coils and back into the air. having it at 61 F isn't going to cool it off faster.
>>2996694Get a portable AC unit from a place with a good return policy. It's not going to cool your whole house down, keep it in the room you spend the most time in.
>>2996694A typical window AC unit is not going to work in a horizontal sliding window like that. your best bet is to get one of those floor standing portable AC units. Word of advice though, get the kind with 2 ducts rather than the 1 duct kind, they work a lot better.
They do make AC units for sliding windows, but they may be hard to find.
>>2996741I just made a little shelve for my unit to sit on so it wouldn't fall out and then did exactly what you did. I filled in the space with that purple foam stuff you can get at the big box stores and some weather stripping. Zero noise reducing qualities but it works.
>>2996694You can also buy a mobile mini split.Dual hose is better than single hose mobile units. But the minisplit is basically a normal AC on wheels. Probably the best option.However, I don't know how easy they are to mount on your windows. Or rather, hang from your windows.
