My rental was built around central air, but it died before we moved in and I grew up with window units so this is nothing new.
This is my first place on my own and I need some help.
The downstairs is a living room with an attached kitchen. There is not a door separating the two, but a wall and a wide gap. The living room is around 200 sq feet, and the kitchen is the same. There are no suitable windows in the kitchen for a window unit.
Last year I used the Midea U shaped 12k BTU units and the house was insanely humid and it never felt the correct temperature.
The upstairs is two bedrooms that are 150 square feet, but they have incredibly high ceilings. We stuck an additional Midea 12k up there and same deal.
How do I measure for those rooms upstairs with the additional ceiling height? It’s a duplex so technically it’s half of a vaulted ceiling.
Last year was pretty miserable with the humidity so I’d like to get a handle on this soon.
For context, we live in Massachusetts. Summers are all of the place but usually top out around 90F with 80-90% humidity most of the summer.
The house is also in direct sunlight all day, and there are only two adults in the home, no pets or anyone else.
