Been doing a lot of that this year! Good god it's been muggy. We're on the 9'th floor with the entire west wall windows. No A/C. hahahaa

Going to the woods this morning for a day anyway, so at least I'll have a small break.

They also sealed up the old hole that the window style ones could go in

What about using a portable AC? LG makes one that I believe is 8,000 BTU and only draws 6 amps. I picked up a simular model on sale at Walmart.

You can cut the bracket or form one out of a 2x4 and it should fit fine...

Its sortof the same thing that Shawn pointed out - To get an apartment of "decent quality" for a "decent price" is unheard of here.

The newer LG ones and one made by a Quebec company called "Gree" have an evaporating mechanism that eliminates the pans.

The biggest problem with using an AC in an apartment is you gotta watch the amps. My place was built in the 1960's and anything past 10 or 15 amps is "trouble".

The exhaust can be fit to go out the window. Portable AC's only require a small outlet for exhaustion.

That is exactly what I have running in my office to suppliment the central A/C in the house. I picked this unit up at Lowes a few years ago for around $200.

Most of the homes in my neighborhood have two central A/C units (two zones), but ours has one. It is a 5 ton evaporator coil - but when it hit 97 degrees here a few days ago it was tough to keep the upstairs cool without my extra unit running, too.

Not to mention the "energy days" our local power company has been having where they cycle off your compressor for half the day. On those days, I turn the temp down to 66 degrees in the morning and tell everyone to wear a coat just to
get a head start on cooling before they shut it off.

Wait for it. A cold hard winter is forecast, and a hotter then normal Summer. I do hope we get some snow, but certainly not insane amounts. With barely any rain this summer, and hardly any snow last winter, we need the moisture.

Sounds like that is a government money grab - sort of like trying to buy a liquir license in our state. I wouldn't mind owning a liquor store - they never go out of business no matter what. Nice steady retirement income for the

From what I remember reading in the manual, there are two ways you can deal with the water. Connect the water outlet hose and have it physically run into a pan or somewhere - or have the A/C unit convert it to water vapor and shoot out the exhaust.

I took the easy route - convert to water vapor and shoot out the exhaust.

I have never had a problem with water on the floor or anything - even with super humid days that we get here in Maryland. It must really work and shoot it out the exhaust.

I hear you there. When it was really muggy the little Ac I have just doesn't quite keep up.

I have central air, so at least (most) of the house is cool. Computer room always a few degrees warmer Windows AC as I remember are more expensive t operate then Central.

Window AC's I guess all depends on the amps it draws.

Rents here are not all that cheap either, mainly due to the airbase
here. feel your pain though. I am aware that GTA rents are out of
this world.

It is no better where I live, downtown.

Probably more expensive?

Yup, for the amount of money a person spends versus the size of the place in return. Its unbelievable.

What about using a portable AC? LG makes one that I believe is 8,000 B and only draws 6 amps. I picked up a simular model on sale at Walmart.

You can cut the bracket or form one out of a 2x4 and it should fit fin

Is that the inside model you are talking about? All you need there is an exhaust out the window, and of course, like a dehumidifier, empty the water

I mentioned earlier that my portable AC sends the evaporation out with the exhaust, so there is no pan to empty.

On 26 Jul 16 22:05:43, Joe Delahaye said the following to Nick Andre:

The newer LG ones and one made by a Quebec company called "Gree" have evaporating mechanism that eliminates the pans.

The biggest problem with using an AC in an apartment is you gotta watc the amps. My place was built in the 1960's and anything past 10 or 15 is "trouble".

Meaning there are not enough fuses or breakers. Also, probably 60 Amp serv rather then 100

I believe the place is poorly wired, and the BBS computer, router and DSL modem are all on a UPS, for good reasons.

That too, but the 120V is the deciding factor. I had a big window AC from my Dad's place of business. It was 220, and I had to wire a special plug for it
<G> Kept most of the downstairs cool, and didnt cost as much as the the 110V
to run

Retired? What about working people? There's no raises anymore Joe. You start at min wage and work like an animal hoping they don't replace you for 2 part time people instead.

There's no lasting jobs anymore. That's why I bought mine.

Same here, and of course the labels aren't right so we end up spending 45 mins in a sweltering hot closet figuring it out.

That used to be the case here, till I just phoned the home line and placed that set next to the beeping UPS. I can hear it "click" when power restores, so that made it much easier... then I labeled my crap with a magic marker.

Well, you could have done what I did, and joined the RCAF <G> You sometimes get raises, depending on what the govt feels like at the time. So far they have not played with my pension though. I've been retired since 1992. Now, I'm just tired <G>

I don't have a super for this place, its only three apartments in a house.

But the land-lady is never around... literarly. I have to chase her down to give her the rent. Phone calls get returned usually three or four days later.
