[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 315670, member: 2459"] We have a smaller window unit that goes in our room during the summer. I couldn't tell you the BTU's or whatever it is but it works pretty good. We had our central AC replaced this summer and the window unit actually helped the old central air some. Previously we had one that would occasionally freeze up. I'm not sure if it was because it wasn't draining right or what but we'd just flip it to fan only until it thawed out and then switch it back to ac. Depending on the size of the room you'll be using it for, you may want to do research on unit sizes and how much space they cool. Also...from a difficult child standpoint....you'll have to secure it. "SOMEONE" broke into our room by pulling out the AC unit once. ahem. So....I dug into husband's scrap wood stash and cut a 2x4 down to the size needed to keep the window from being opened further thus allowing the removal of the ac unit. I also propped the outside section of the unit up with a post cut to size to help it stay stable and not put so much of a strain on the window frame. [/QUOTE]
