What's the temperature like indoors for me here?
At our home which is an apartment that is just under 500 sq ft, the AC does a great job at keeping the air comfortable here.
Our AC unit is a 2 HP Carrier rated at about 18000 btus, plenty for this place.
It was on constantly when I first arrived but with time we came to a better use, on for one half hour, off for one our. That's on a timed schedule mostly at night.
The compressor seems to freeze up when it's left on continuously even with the cool setting at the lower ranges.
With a pedistal type fan running most of the time that we are inside here, it's pretty consistently cool and dry.
When we leave the setting on the AC goes to off. When first getting in it gets set to manual on. Once it cools off the setting goes to auto, 1/2 on, full hour off, repeat.
Any more than that at night and my wife coughs a lot.
On average we are only here for about 10 hours a day anyway.
Even with our own electric bill we save tons of money compared to a hotel. Most of the rooms that we've stayed in are much smaller than this also.
This is a good intermediate step before buying/constructing a house of our own here.
