Question:
Is there any where I could hire a portable air conditioning Unit? For god's
sake, who in their right mind would build a house without proper insulation
and no air con in the house in the middle of the central west! Apparently I
just found a rental which does!
Answer:
I do have a window, but it is a very tall sliding window, and
having talked to several ac contractors, I was told that it
wasn't suitable for standard ac installation. (These contractors
did not sell portable units, and had nothing to gain by passing
on the work.) Most portable units have hoses that you can feed
out a window or door through a small crack. It won't be 100%
efficient, but it will definitely improve the situation. Also,
very hot days are not frequent in my area, so I will only have
to use it a few times a month. If I didn't use my home office
to telecommute, I wouldn't even consider this option, but
since I do ...
It isn't clear to me why you can't just use a conventional window
mounted air conditioner. Perhaps you don't have a window in
that room, or the landlord won't allow air conditioners.
