Should I get a window a/c for the bedroom even if we have central air? July 17, 2013   SubscribeIs there ever an aspect of a room that you think “how am I going to work around this??”, well for me, it was the lovely in wall air conditioner unit that came with the house. Don’t get me wrong, it’s my best friend when it’s 90 degrees outside but it didn’t seem to make any sense the rest of the year, and it’s pretty much the first thing you see when you walk into the bedroom. Surprisingly, there aren’t a lot of options out there when it comes to concealing an a/c unit so I decided to make my own, and for only $30 in supplies, I’m very pleased with how it turned out! So the first thing I did was build a frame for the unit. Then I wanted to make something decorative for the doors that would also let air through when they were closed. This part delayed things for a while until I found these two pieces of laser-cut wood panels from Michael’s that were on clearance for only $.50 each!

To make the doors, I used hobby wood to create frames and then stapled the panels to the back of them. This is what it looked like before I painted it with the doors on. And after two coats of fresh white paint, it was all finished! I also made sure there was enough room to store the cord. I’m not kidding when I say that if I can make this, anyone can! Other than taking a few shop classes while I was in high school, I really have no carpentry knowledge at all. I think my old shop class teacher would be proud I’ve been very behind in finishing the bedroom but I promise I’ll have the final pics up this weekend!Three Bedroom, Two Bath - Accessible Floorplan Washer & Dryer in ea. unit Utilities Paid By Management: Utilities Paid By Resident: Brand new, spacious Three Bedroom, Two Bath ADA compliant units.

THe high velocity units are expensive (for us, $6,000 plus ducting). The parts for the high velocity system are proprietary and cost a fortune and even though the ducts are small, you still need returns which are not small. They are great for retrofitting where you do not want to rip up the walls, floors and cielings, but not very economical. 342 posts, read 949,533 times 696 posts, read 1,543,405 times Originally Posted by Bravo Delta The answer is most definitely no from my experience..

the windowless I've tried are not efficient coolers.. I ran a 8000 BTU one once.. it look 2-4 hours to do what 5k normal window could do in 20 minutes.. if your to have any hope at all (unless the technology has improved.. doubtful :P) you have to go windowed.. window is cheaper on energy.. doesn't have annoying tubes.. windowless are way behind in efficiencies and effectiveness.. 1,297 posts, read 3,375,254 times Originally Posted by themaster My 12000btu I bought 3 weeks ago freezes me out of my 11x22 room. It only takes less than a minute to take exhaust hose out and reinstall in another place. I bought mine at Walmart for 512.00 including tax. It also has 11000btu heat exchanger also. My brother has had one for almost 7 yrs and uses it in a room above his garage in Atlanta, Ga and it still keeps himcool and well buy another. I don't like window units cause you can not use window at all then. An AC/heat pump was going to cost me 5000.00 and I can buy 10 windowless at that price.

I suppose if you placed it in one place and never moved it and nothing ever bothered it, they might have survived better, but especially after it's water collector soaked the wood floor, I couldn't just sit there in one spot anymore. Were you using it in an area where it is very humid? The problem mind had was it didn't clear out the extra water fast enough and would just suddely shut down and could not be turned on until it was dry enough. When its over a hundred with 60 percent humidity and up that can be a very very long four hours. The window units which don't have that problem work SO much better with a humid climate. 27,819 posts, read 27,156,436 times Think about the portable units like this. You're using a cooling unit that has one hose that you place in the window while the unit cools the room.
