Default Re: Portable A/C Units
So why wouldn't you just add the ductwork from the existing AC? Seems like it might cost as much as insulating ceiling and purchasing a portable unit of 18,000 - 24,000 BTU's which isn't so cheap and then venting it through the wall or window. Even installing a through the wall unit might be cheaper. Considering that a portable unit would take up valuable floor space I'm wondering how cost effective going that route might be.
Just curious what the consensus is on this issue.
