jusy an intersting note, every person takes up about 500 BTU so if you have 5,000 BTU in a room with 10 people, you woul dnot think the AC is on as it will be quite hot...

b"H we have central a/c!! my dh and I are always fighting over the temp. on the thermostat. I've been nudging it higher ever since we got our last electric bill  . my kitchen is so hot- even w/ the c a/c.
the problem I have w/ our a/c is that when it's on it's freezing- I bury myslef under my down blanket, but w/ in a few minutes after it reaches the cool temp and turns off, I'm shvitzing!

most units are 5000? what does that mean?
I have 8000 in the bedroom. 10,000 in the kitchen. 13,500 in the living room. You can get whatever you want

Portable ACs r usually 5,000 BTU. Bigger ones usually come with parts to make it fit in a window.

point is - it's not "one size fits all"
you pick the BTU's based on the size of the room, location of a/c, activity in that room

I can't believe that there are 18% of ppl on this board that have no air conditioner.
I thought I was the only one.
I tried one in my room but it didn't help.
I though that maybe it was too small, but I saw that I'm hot in e/one's house, I sweat alot and a cool room doesn't help me, I need to stand next to the air conditioner and it has to blow right on my chest, if I go away for a few secs. I become all wet again.
At home I use fans that I found in Wal-Mart for 13 dollars. I bought 3 of them, and keep one in every room, and it helps a bit.
