I am always afraid that I am going to trip and have the air conditioner either fall to the ground or fall on my chest.
I wish that I would have purchased a central air conditioner. If I wouldn’t have allowed my friend to try to tell me that window air conditioners were better because you only had to cool the room that you are in, then I would have a working central air conditioner in my house as we speak. Window air conditioners are perfect for the family that cannot afford a central air conditioner but still wants to enjoy the cool air from a cooling HVAC unit. I had the money to purchase a central air conditioner, but my friend told me that it would be cheaper to purchase window air conditioners and to only cool one room at a time. However, I never realized that window air conditioners cost a lot more money than central air conditioners if you are always running them. Furthermore, I never took into consideration the fact that window air conditioners have to installed and uninstalled annually. I barely have room in my attic for 5 window air conditioners, and it isn’t easy trying to carry a window air conditioner up a flight of very flimsy stairs every fall. I am always afraid that I am going to trip and have the air conditioner either fall to the ground or fall on my chest. Trying to take the air conditioners back down in the spring is even worse. It is nearly impossible to balance that much weight while walking down the steps. Then, you have to try to lift the air conditioner into the window and get it jammed in there so that it won’t fall. I wouldn’t have to worry about this if I would have purchased a central air conditioner.
