It was extremely hot and humid this week and the central AC unit wasn’t working very well.
It was struggling to keep up with the demand. With temperatures close to 100 degrees and the humidity at 95%, the outdoor temperatures felt like an oven. Inside the house wasn’t much better and the AC was struggling to maintain an indoor temperature of 80 degrees. There were times when it didn’t feel like any cold air was coming out of the vents. My wife and I discussed the problems with the central AC and we agreed to buy a portable AC unit for the house. I knew it was going to cost a few hundred dollars, but I thought a portable AC unit would be better than a window unit simply because it is portable. During the day, my wife could use the AC in the kitchen or the living room and at night we could put it in our bedroom. It made sense to buy the machine on Wheels instead of the one that goes in the window. My wife and I went to the hardware store to pick up a portable AC. We walked down the aisle where they are located and there was a woman standing in front of the Shelf. She was packing the last AC unit into her cart. My wife and I were totally disappointed and I even offered to pay $50 more for the portable AC if the woman agreed to sell it to me. She was in the same predicament as my wife and I and also looking for a way to cool that house during those hot summer days.
