Answer 3

You can get them at any large retail store like K-Mart, Wal-Mart, or Target and pick them up for relatively cheap, if money is that much of an issue for you. You can also pick them up at Home Giants like Home Depot, Menard's, and Lowes but should be aware that you'll pay slightly more for them.

Sam's Club would be a good place to go (if you're a member) because things are super, super cheap for the members so you'd be bound to find a good air conditioner in your price range.

Ace Hardware Outlet and Sears Hardware are also great places to look for air conditionars and the best part about that is that they usually sell you a warrenty to go along with it. That way, repairs are free or low cost. Otherwise, you'll have to pay quite a bit of money to get it fixed.

And lastly, I suggest eBay. Just search under "air conditioner". I was able to find some single room air conditioners for around $30. Heck, I even found some PLASMAIRE 6000BTU Digital Room Air Conditioners for $10 and some GE AGQ08AJ 8000 BTU Window Mount Air Conditioners for $16.

Answer 4

In an earlier question that you posted you stated that you were living in an apartment. Hopefully that apartment is your own because air conditioning units requires INSTALLATION. If you are renting like myself i recommend a portable air conditioner that you can move around and doesn't require any hard installation. However, these are a bit more pricey compared to your usual air conditioner and only good at cooling small rooms.

Places to buy Air conditioners:
Best buy, Frys,Walmart,Home depot, sears

Answer 5

I went to Lowe's Hardware... not as busy as Home Depot, besides, they had a more reasonable size model, an 80lb Samsung cooler. Even if they are out, they know when the next shipment is coming in, at my store they said every 4 days and would be in wednesday. Also by customer service sometimes are some models that others didn't want. I got one of those and it had a small dent in the front cover, but other than that, it's working like a champ! Saved about 50 bucks too, as it was cheaper :)

Answer 6

Gin,
I am sorry it is so hot there. It is always hot in the summertime here. So I have Central Air Conditioning. But those go out sometimes. So I went down to Wal~Mart just to check. Here they have pallets of window AC starting at $88. Then you add tax. When I thought I was going to Iraq I was comforted to learn a large box could be mailed for a reasonable fee. Course it would take three months. Someone mailed AC units to soldiers there. You may hate Wal~Mart like me. But they have the goods. I am sure a truck is rolling towards you with a load of window AC right now. They prepositioned truckloads of water before hurricanes hit last year. They were faster than FEMA.
When they arrive though, everyone will buy, plug in, and brown out. Drink a lot of water and follow the directions of the Red Cross. If the governor calls out the National Guard, humvee ambulances have air conditioning in the back. (The one I took to New Orleans was broken. Be sure to check.) Lots of luck to you. Remember, Republicans do not believe in global warming.

Answer 7

A 10k Btu cooler will absorb as much heat as a 1800 pound block of ice in one 24 hour period. The higher the Btu, the more heat it will absorb. A higher Btu unit will cool down the same space in a shorter period of time. To gauge power consumption, check the wattage per hour that the appliance uses. A 36k Btu cooler may have a wattage rating of 1000 watts/hour, and cool a 12 x 12 room 1 degree every four minutes, whereas a 10k Btu cooler may have a rating of 500 watts/hour, but take 20 minutes to cool the same space 1 degree, thereby using more energy. What figure do you want to quantify? The amount of heat that will be removed, the time it will take, or the cost to remove that heat?

Answer 8

I would try stores like walmart, home depot and lowes. You could also try searching online for air conditioners to see what different stores have. That is a good way to compare price as well.

Answer 9

Going online to the stores is the best way.

Try

Walmart
Lowes
Homedepot
Target
Bestbuy

Those are the ones that I searched before I found the one I wanted.

The Target in my area has one for $90. It is in there ad that was in today's paper. Its a nice one. Haven't had the problems that the ones on the site said they had with theres. It works great. I would recomend it to some one that is looking for one that is cheap and good.

Answer 10

About your question of avoiding heat...

Wear cotton clothes, its the most fresh fabrics you can wear, do not wear synthetic fabrics, even on underwear.
Light colours reflect light and in consecuence, heat, so they are fresher, do not wear black or dark colours clothes cause they concentrate heat.

tie your hair up

Use cotton sheets, and not a synthetic fabrics pillow.
Put cotton sheets over sofas, and chairs to make them fresher.

If you live in the upper apartment, spread water on the roof at night to reduce the temperature accumulated on it during the day. This technique is even used in Seville, Spain where the government spread water on the streets at night to cool them for next day....

Close your curtains during the day to diminish the ammount of heat inside the house, leave it open only in the open side of the window.

If possible, leave outside doors open for some moments to increase the running air through the house.

Answer 11

get one on ebay. if you really wanna cool off dont listen to any1 you just read from. look for an evaporative fan or a swamp cooler fan and i swear you'll get frost bite in an hour.i work in the sun all day, and i mean all day. if you want a drink that will cool you off in seconds, it may sound weird but it actually works and doesnt taste bad at all. grab ice cold water, mix it with some mint syrup, and chopped up cucumber and you'll probably find yourself drinking it in the sun.try this atleast once if you dont trust me and you'll be telling every1 you know, this really works.
