    Lots of  helpful information here. http://www.hometips.com/buying-guides/air-conditioners-room.html

    Unless your room is the size of the Royal York ballroom, get yourself the cheapest unit available. On sale, they sell for $ 100.00 and will more than satisfy. For several years, I installed them in my kids apartments when they attended university every spring. My installation days are, however, done. :-)

    I think he means they all graduated.

    You have to measure the dimensions of the room(s) you wish to air condition.Then, you ask dealer,or somebody in the  know, how many square feet = how many BTUs in a window A C .Then you buy that size of BTU.


    Example :  18,000 B T U s  will cool 3 rooms, if their dimensions are  X, Y, and Z

    M/C/M,is near enough right,but do not forget your humidity control,and being a duck you can always get your flippers in a Barth of cold warter,

    Only "some" have humidity control? Also, what about noise? Why are some A/Cs so loud? And, can the A/C run steadily without clicking off and on all night?
