Well, I am sure many of you remember me posting about that AC unit that some one had given us and how we installed it and all, but it just was not putting out! I play video games and my computer and monitor will heat up the room to 80 degrees or more. And on hot summer days such as today, it would be too uncomfortable to just tough it out like we have been for years lol.  So we bought a window AC unit which was for a vertical window and fabricated it to fit a horizontal window! I don't have pics of it yet but will soon, rather I will have you refer to this link... AC Unit

The unit is actually white but for some reason, Lowes has the pic in gray?

I have been using the Energy Saver mode since I installed the unit. On really hot days I set the temp to 70 degrees which kept the room nice and cool but the unit came back on often. Today is not really a hot day so I set the AC temp to 80 degrees so that way it only comes on when the room temp goes above 80. I did test out the lowest 60 degree temp setting and notice the unit stayed on constently and never turned off. I will let you know my findings on power usage when I get our next energy bill, keeping in mind of all the other fans running in the rest of the house though.
