I have no central a/c so I gotta put the window unit in like @Nemo14 and @Goofyernmost and @MOXOMUMD said.

I don't anymore, but, most of my adult live consisted of placing the AC in the window, either during or just after the first hot day, and a few months later, usually just before the last heat wave, I would take it out and put it away. Gosh, how I miss that! Now I have the drudgery of flipping the switch over from "heat" to "cool".

You poor poor man. How can live without lifting a window unit up and down stairs every year?

It is 80 degrees in my bedroom so I think I found my project for next Saturday. Although the weather will probably go back into the 60s when I have free time to put them in.

Having lived in the south all my life, I have never seen an Air Conditioner window unit removed except to be replaced immediately.

Three pages behind. But just has someone knock on my door trying to sell me something. At 9 pm. On a Saturday. I called the neighbors and apparently he knocked on random doors. After mine, he walked up the street and around the corner, heading up the hill. On foot. Selling something, nine at night, on foot.

And no ID. But I took note of the company name on his y and called them to report it, then called the police. Something isn't right about that. The officer who showed up on our street told me he gets these calls 15 times a week now from salesmen freaking people out by knocking on their door late at night.

I'm kinda shaken by it, really. Who the hell does that?

Btw, it was a home insurance and security company. That's a horrible tactic to sell your product, because all I wanna do now is punch your employee in the face for scaring me.


And I have central air but it's not powerful enough for my house (and landlord isn't interested in replacing it for my comfort) and there's no trees or anything nearby to keep it at least partially in the shade...so it gets very hot in here in the evenings. I have fans and an awesome house vent which usually helps but midday, it makes it hotter. I really don't mind, to be honest. I'm in super ac all day long at work and I need fresh air afterwards.

I had an environmental protection organization do that around here. They had the proper permit, but I still don't get why they send people in the dark looking for donations. It creeps residents out and can't be safe for them either.

Well, I can tell you that when you get a week or so of minus 20 weather, the draft through the AC in the window will turn you blue. Up north you cannot leave them in place unless you have spent the equivalent of a central air conditioning unit to insulate it.

I can imagine, just the few days of below freezing days we get around here has made me throw blankets over window units a few times.

As I have gotten older I find that it would be impossible for me to do that anymore. I used to haul a 12000 btu AC up and down the stairs with relative ease. Now, I doubt I could even lift it much less carry it up the stairs and there would be a better then even chance that I would kill myself taking it back down. I moved south just in the nick of time.:in pain:

Sleeping with the windows open tonight. There's a perfectly refreshing breeze blowing right in. I love this time of year...warm during the day and cools down at night. Living on an island is good for something!! Can't get off it without paying a toll but the weather can be delightful a few months a year.
