    probably the best thing I ever did for myself:

    got a room air conditioner for my office, all the PC and monitors, plus the setting sun hitting that side of the office really heated the place up... almost 100 deg at times... fucking sucked big time but NOW... totally cool, in every way... got this bad boy

      Same here. I live in a place where most homes don't have AC, but for 2-3 weeks each summer it definitely gets hot enough for one. And yeah, south side office that heats up like a sauna. Got a small window unit this month and it was the best $200 or so I've spent in a while.

      You like the portable? I looked into those but most of my research said "stay away", that they were in general much much less efficient & reliable. Sure would be nice to move it around tho...

        can't think straight when it's over 90 degrees - was 100 degrees in my computer room last week for a couple of days, it was brutal.
        I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

          The dual hose portables are efficient, the single hose like he just got arent because they are constantly sucking cool air out of the room and out the window.

                                dual hose are more efficient, I recently picked up a single hose unit, works good, little loud cause motor is inside instead of hanging outta the window, decided to try one though as I prefer having a clean unit that's not exposed to weather and not having to take it in and out of a window every winter.

                                  I just bought a dehumidifier for my garage and it cost almost $300. I see the air conditioner you bought can also be used as a dehumidifier and only cost a little more. I think I fucked up.

                                    Using mine for cool mode which uses an exhaust hose outta the window with the kit included, haven't used mine on dehumidifier mode but there is a garden hose connector on the back which you would run to either a floor drain, outside or rig some shit up to a drain bucket etc...

                                              I thought mine was bad at around $365 this last month with central air running almost non-stop. Plus I waste a lot of hydro on outdoor lights and computers running that don't really need to be.
                                              2 complete central air units, 3 refrigerators, electric stove and a pool, plus the more you use the higher per unit here in Montana

                                                4300 square feet and 1500/month? You should have invested money into more efficient units. I am either calling bullshit or you live in a shithole with holes all over the place. That's not even that big of a space.

                                                    Look into passive cooling. There are a lot of things you can do to your home to help cool it off besides just using AC. Of course you will still need AC when it's roasting, but doing a few things can really help lower your energy cost.

                                                    I would throw up on myself if I got a $1500 electric bill.

                                                              yeah it's pretty high out here for sure... I think the pool is a big part of it.. don't think the lights pull that much... another thing is here the more you buy the higher the unit price. I'm paying the highest at $.31 per KWH... last month was about $400... so it must be the air... run it 24/7... keep the place cool... this place was built in '83... shit the windows blow air like a fan in the winter

If you are honestly getting $1500 electric bills, the place isn't efficient what so ever. And to prove it, you had to go buy an external AC unit just to keep yourself cool, which just proves that the house was poorly designed. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but yeah - the place sounds like a shit hole.

How are those two things effecting your electric bill these days? I say scan your electric bill or post some pictures... otherwise? Well, let's just say with your ghetto bullshit and lack of fundamental basic English skills.... it's all a pile of bullshit.

And to prove it, you had to go buy an external AC unit just to keep yourself cool, which just proves that the house was poorly designed. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but yeah - the place sounds like a shit hole.

                                                                      LOL @ the "100 yard driveway through trees" and the "3 fire places" comment. How are those two things effecting your electric bill these days? I say scan your electric bill or post some pictures... otherwise? Well, let's just say with your ghetto bullshit and lack of fundamental basic English skills.... it's all a pile of bullshit.

                                                                                          Before that, it often went over 100F here. Now it's a nice comfy 75F.
