Something else I have, and have been suggesting to people, is to pick up a cheap rolling window AC when Ollie's or someone gets them and puts them on sale. I had one up north and brought it with me. So if my AC dies, I can at least cool the bedroom until I can get someone out, and I am not feeling pressured to take whatever price is offered to get my whole house running again. Also, when it's really hot and my whole house AC is struggling to keep up, I can use this to supplement. Especially if we have a bunch of people over.
You can also get a window AC from most places and return it within thirty days (depending on the place) even if you used it. Had this happen up north one time and did this.
