I have been hot all my life. Keep in mind my dad and I first started out with houses next to each other for me to watch over him. But it was too much land he was too motivated to meticulously maintain. He’s almost 70. He falls a lot.
Living in the same house, he is always cold. A house with the thermostat at 84 is comfortable for him. I can’t live like that. And the room where my office is is beaten down by heat.
This unit is nearly whisper quiet. Maybe the technology is just a little better now. I’m on day 3 with it and love it. I’ve reinforced insulation all around it and have added multiple window locks. I think it’s great.
That is a very good use for it. It's not until you go through something like that where the ability to cool just one room is invaluable. If I ever build another house, or flip one or whatever, and I'm going to live there, I think I will give each room the ability to set its own temperature.
It truly is invaluable. I didn’t think the heat would be so bad because I’m retarded. Summer heat heat can still hit the 90’s. It’s close to that now. And the windows face the sun most of the day. Poor calculating.
Sometimes I think of becoming a house developer who will only build great quality homes with the following: 1. Independent temperature control for each room. 2. A properly sealed/waterproof basement that has sealed rubber/tar around the outside and completely sealed/coated with some kind of water barrier so no moisture under the house seeps up through the floor. 3. A laundry room that is on the same floor as the bedrooms. The laundry room would be well built so that even there is any kind of water leak, rhe water will just flow over the sealed floor and down a drain. 4. A drain under the sink in case the built in water dispenser ever breaks, you house won't flood. 5. Any trees that are planted on the property will have special consideration for how large the tree will become, and make sure that the roots will never break into or under the house, and will not mess with utilities that are underground or break apart a driveway. 6. A proper mud room with a tub area for washing your dog after walking in the rain or whatever. If there is such a think as a dog toilet (maybe something like those squatting holes in Asia), this would be a great room to have it in. Self flushing and no pool of water for the dogs to try and drink (like an airplane toilet) or the water level is too low for them to reach.
