We used our Lowes 5,000 btu a/c several nights on our recent trip.. It seems quite noisy even though it advertises itself to be quiet..
If I build another, I'm toying with the idea of putting the a/c on the ground outside and plumbing the feed and return to the tear, or using a pet cool. The pet cool is nice because it heats and a/c's both.
So, I'm wondering if any have found a really quiet and cheap a/c unit.... and this time, I'd go with a remote control unit to save getting up at night to fiddle with it.
Also, I'd like to hear from pet cool owners now that there has been about a year of real life experience. Is it worth the extra money, and would you do it again? Aside from the plumbing, has it worked as well has you had expected.
I just did a pet cool search and found the prices have had a substantial rise.
