Re: Portable A/C Units
An 18,000 btu portable unit is about $700 to $800 at Home Depot (I could not get a confirmation from deed restriction people that this was allowed - their answer inferred it would not be because the explicit deed restriction text says something like "only central air conditioning systems are permitted." We've had a few e-mail exchanges on the logic of that one.
A through-the-wall unit of similar capacity, not in accordance with deed restrictions, is about $400. A big fan sucking cold air from the house into the garage, blocking the door, making the house a little warmer, and making the garage slightly cooler is less than $50. I'm realizing you pretty much get what you pay for - especially if you want to remain in strict compliance with deed restrictions.
