Most Efficient Way To Cool A Room?
Lets say I wanted to put an air conditioner for just one really well insulated room in a house.
What system would be the most efficient one to cool the room? |

Re: Most Efficient Way To Cool A Room?
Small window shaker and a ceiling fan. The fan is good for a few extra degrees, think 'wind chill factor'. We do it all of the time here in So. FL.

Re: Most Efficient Way To Cool A Room?
I use a 9000 btu portable unit, can roll all around the room. Cost a few hundred bucks, but works good til the central air comes sometime in the near future.

Whats a Small window shaker?
Would it be crazy to get just a seperate central cooling unit just for that one room? |

Re: Most Efficient Way To Cool A Room?
The MOST EFFICIENT would be a ductless mini-split system, their efficiency ratings are near or over 20 SEER. A window shaker is about the least efficient thing you could buy.

Open the window in the winter. That'll cool the place down.
A little window shaker sounds like a 5000 BTU AC. |

Re: Most Efficient Way To Cool A Room?
Could you explain more about the ductless mini-split system?
Or give a good website? |

Re: Most Efficient Way To Cool A Room?
I agree with air pro ,ductless mini split. simply hangs on the wall out of the way and very little noise compared to the other options.

Re: Most Efficient Way To Cool A Room?
So ductless mini split is just a vent in the wall of each room, instead of an ducting system?
