Aug 2018

we are summer almost through September ...

but I've found units (window) on sale by the end of Aug/Sept

look fir the energy star ones that cycle off completely and back on as needed

my energy bill has actually gone down the last 2 months, and I let my unit run 24/7 on 76 degrees, cycling on/off as it determines,.. I'm in central NC with temps in 90 upper 80's most days ...
