I was telling you about the issue I had with the a/c in the crawlspace of my house! This was done long before I moved into this house, so it’s an issue that I inherited, not one I created. Basically, the business who installed it was an amateur. The person did exhausting work, did not get official permits, and did not do a level of work that was “up to code.” The AC component is located in the crawlspace over my living room closet, however it is situated in such a way that it can’t be truly accessed. I had a local Heating and A/C tech come by to check it out and offer a price bid for the repairs, and he flat-out said that it couldn’t be done. The only way to remedy the situation was to split that Heating and A/C off of the main power grid, abandon it, and install a current system anywhere else in the attic. I did not have five to eight thousand dollars laying around to spend on a current a/c system. On the other hand, this is the Deep South, and the summer time months are wicked, so I couldn’t just forgo having any kind of cooling system. I decided to check out the local hardware stores and see what they had in terms of a smaller, more affordable a/c. I was blown away by the number of options! I knew about window-mounted AC units, however there were a lot of new, portable a/cs that were strong enough to cool down one whole side of my home.
