I don't know answer to that. But, when I first came here, I didn't have much cash to buy a good quality air conditioner to replace the pos the previous occupant of the apartment left behind- it worked but it was very weak. I went and bought a large fan and placed it right beside it. It made a huge difference in cooling of the apartment.This continuous heat is killing my central air.
Questions: What is the self life of a central air unit (mine is now 13 years old)? Also, should I try to create some shade for the unit so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight?
