If you're like me, you can't afford to get central air conditioning. Neither do you want 2 ton boxes hanging out of your window. A couple years ago, Darlene and I decided to give one of those portable roll-away air conditioners a try. Calgary maybe gets above 28C for only a couple weeks a year, so it's the cat's meow. The rest of our house gets up to 29C (at least it did yesterday), but the bedroom is cool and refreshing. And that's the only room that really needs to be comfortable - right? If you decide you need coolness in other parts of your house, you could always roll it into the room you need. The heat exhausts through a flexible hose out the window - but it only interfaces with sliding windows (not the kind that swing out). Best $700 we ever spent.
No monthly fees, no equipment to install

Air conditioning on a budget
