These air conditioners are great for cooling down one room, but simply don’t have the power to cool the whole house
My wife and I have four kids. I work 60 hours a week to make money, and Jade works twice that many hours keeping house and minding the children. The economy is terrible right now, and we could surely use a new revenue stream for our family, but it’s simply impossible. The amount of money we would have to spend on childcare would be more than the money Jade could make at a job. I pick up all the extra hours I can, but it never seems to be enough. We could really use some extra money, because the central HVAC system is on its last legs, and currently we can’t afford a replacement. We had a bit of a lucky break last week when Jade won a radio contest with the grand prize of a new air conditioner. We were so excited at first, because we thought it meant we could replace our faulty central HVAC system, but that was not the case. It turns out the grand prize was a small, window-mounted air conditioner, which was still a good prize, just not what we needed. Looking a gift horse in the mouth is never a good idea, so we picked up the air conditioner and I installed it in our living room that very night. These air conditioners are great for cooling down one room, but simply don’t have the power to cool the whole house. At least we have one room with perfect climate control while I keep saving money to repair the system, which is better than nothing.
