West facing lanai
We are snowbirds with a western golf course view. So nothing obstructs the sun/heat. Expecting this to be a long-term investment, we bit the financial bullet. We put in glass sliding doors (with screens) that keep most of the heat out. We then combined it with a heater/air conditioning unit. It was then economical to put the same unit in our garage at the same time. It was not cheap. But we are extremely happy with the results and spend about 80% of our waking hours in the lanai. And whenever it makes sense weather wise and we feel like some fresh air, we simply open the sliding glass doors. Please reply with a phone number if you would like more information about the vendors involved.
