Hello Folks,
I've downsized to a condo of approximately 900 square feet in Atlantic Canada. So far air-conditioning has not been a big issue, but a few days in summer it would be nice to have a little extra cooling. We applied to the condo board for permission to install a unit the first year but the new condo board balked (it is a new building) and denied our first application as it needed a new hole cut in the exterior by the balcony to facilitate venting. I think the issue is sorted now two years later, but I am thinking of a cheaper solution that is less costly and that is the installation of a temporary cooling unit, placed in the laundry room with the vent connected to the dryer vent, a few hundred dollars vs over a thousand. Anybody try it? Do you think it would work?
