This is the problem I am having. It's hot and I want to use my AC and it turns on normally but doesn't do much of a job of cooling my room, in fact it doesn't really cool it down much at all. I will give yesterday as an example. It reached about 99F outside and with my AC on full blast I was getting a temp of 92F inside my room. I really want to solve this problem ASAP cause I work overnight and sleep during the day and if my room is too hot I can't sleep.
I own a Haier 5,200 BTU window unit. My room is slightly larger than the ideal size for that size AC but I had to purchase something within my price range, and still manage to bring it home at the time (which was on public transportation). Despite the size problems I have not had this bad of a problem before. I bought this AC in May of 2006, so I have not had it long at all. The first summer I didn't get any spectacular results. It got my room cool to about 74, which is a comfortable temp to me, so I was happy and was able to sleep. Then summer of 2007 I was getting about 80 or so most of the summer. Now this year its really bad and the AC is barely blowing out any cold air.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. If push comes to shove I may just save up my money and try to hold out until I can buy an 8,000 BTU unit.
