for less than $400. Problem solved when extra cooling is needed.
Durning COVID our HVAC died. Chuck did his best but finally had to put it out of misery. It was August 20, outside temps 87-98 HVAC back ordered 5 weeks.

Week 2 The crew brought a 10,000btu portable for our bedroom, vented through window with a special kit.
Bedroom was 14x18, closing both doors running 24/7. Inside temp of house around 84 at night. Bedroom temp 79

Some nights it was cooler sleeping in the screened lanai with a breeze, than the portable ac in the bedroom. Running portable AC for 3 weeks 1 day, Our Seco billing was $161 more than our July bill with a functioning AC. Bedroom faced south east. It was a long 5 weeks
