Mine came in today at Home Depot. Installation was easy enough. The room that’s my office in a new house has two windows facing the sun for most of the day. Absolutely unbearable for the past couple of months with even higher temperatures to come. It’s like a wave of heat hitting me in the face.

My main job is an audio engineer. That sounds fancy, but basically I clean up audio for podcasters. I edit videos for YouTubers as well. Now you know more about me. A niche I carved out almost 20 years ago. Anyway..,,,,

I couldn’t sit at my desk anymore in this house. Holy shit. I’ve lived in a camper in the Deep South before. Never felt heat inside like this (inside).

This fucking unit is amazing. Total comfort. It’s more quiet than my $120 tower fan. The office was an ice box today.

What I can say is the heat that exits the tubing to outside is hot as shit. I bought two plants to go on the porch outside the window to block the nigger vibe. That doesn’t really matter. The efficiency rating says I can run this half the day all year and come out to about $8/month on my ever increasing utility cost.

It’s awesome.

A traditional window unit is more efficient. This is a brand new house and I was worried about looking like trash. That might be unreasonable but it is what it is. These windows in this room face the front. I’m not fancy or better than anyone. But the optics of a window unit….it was a factor.

My neighbors up and down the block have the same complaints. I just couldn’t keep living like this (the crushing heat in this room).

Highs have only gotten up to 85 so far. 90’s will happen soon

This room baked but the back half was cool. That includes my dad’s bedroom. I cohabitate with him and he is always cold. I guess that just comes with age because I can remember him always yelling at us kids to close the door as to not let the cold from the a/c to escape. “It’s getting hot in here!”

This unit has fixed the issue.
