This year, I decided to buy a portable AC unit for my home.
- The central AC works very well, but there are a couple of places around the house where the indoor temperatures are warmer.
During the day, temperatures inside of the bedroom are particularly warmer than the rest of the house. I got out a thermometer and checked and the difference between the temperatures was 7°. That’s when I decided to buy an AC unit. I was going to get one for the window in the bedroom, but I thought a portable AC unit might work out better. I was hoping to find a portable AC unit at the hardware store, but there were no machines left when I arrived. I asked the clerk behind the counter if he had anything in the back in the stock room. The guy disappeared for a while. My wife and I stood at the counter. We looked at some of the paint samples and swatches of carpet. After 20 minutes had passed, I started to look for the guy. I found another person from the hardware store and I told him that I was waiting to see if there were portable AC units in the back of the store. The hardware store employee told me that they were definitely sold out, because he looked in the stock room earlier that day and another customer asked about a window AC unit. Temperatures had been hot and everyone was trying to cool their homes and apartments. The sales clerk suggested looking on line at a place that would offer free shipping.
