Question:
I have an upstairs room that is unfortunately much much hotter than the
rest of the house, I'm looking for an indoor air conditioner that can
cool a single room, I know most air conditioners produce heat which
normally would go outside, I have windows in my room but I can't stick
in a regular window unit because regulations of my estate do not allow
them, and the room I need to cool is facing the road and it would be
too hard to hide... although some kind of small heat exhaust tube could
vent out a partway opened window I suppose. Can anyone suggest ideas
for me?
Answer:
I would look into Mini-Splits central Air Conditioning system. it is a central air
conditioner system that the inside hangs on the wall and the condenser goes out
side somewheres. they are made just for what you described here.
I have seen the portable units like
MovinCool. They will cool one part of a room at the expense of another
part. All the electricity that goes into them comes out as heat. they
make a better dehumidifier than air conditioner. If you put the
exhaust hose in a window like the instructions say, you make up the
exhause air with outside air and the net effect is zero effect, except
your electric bill goes up.
