Some people do not like a cool sleeping environment so they will tend to place it in a living room or family room. Or some people will place it in
family room because
whole family can sleep there. Get out
sleeping bags and turn it into an adventure for
young ones. Beats waking up in
morning to find a dog, cat, and four kids in
bed with you.
Also window air conditioner can be noisy, which may disturb sleep. Others find
drone of
fan actually promotes sleep because all
neighbourhood noises are drowned out. Some people say
air conditioner works as well as a sleeping pill
But whichever room you eventually pick don’t expect
impossible from you’re A/C. It is not meant to cool more than one room or one open area. Air conditioners will not cool other rooms? This is because
blower in a window air conditioner is not very powerful. It is sized to cool one open area, not a number of interconnected rooms. Therefore once again a couple of smaller units may be better for your home than one large unit.
Lastly, remember to properly secure
air conditioner in
window. Once installed a piece of wood to stop
window from being lifted up is a good idea. If you have wooden sills
simple addition of a wood screw at
top of
raised window (the one you had to raise to install
A/C) will only take a minute. Otherwise an intruder could gain access to
house by lifting
window and letting
A/C fall out. This could result in
loss of both your valuables and
air conditioner.
