Question

Help answer this question below.

My condo association forbids installing a window air conditioner. I'd like to have a backup in case my central A/C ever fails. What solutions have other condo owners come up with (a unit mounted in the ceiling maybe)?

    The portable ones on wheels,about 300 dollars at Home Depot.

    I have a small window unit as a backup too,and have put it between my glass doors,venting to the lanai.

    Use a small table,put some towels down,just incase of condensation..and close your lanai blinds..

    Very little noise..and cheaper than the portable one.

    Portable air conditoners are about your only other option. A portable A/C unit is a self-contained machine that collects the condensation in a plastic container or it can be exhausted through a nearby window using a window to air duct adapter. The range in price anywhere from $300 to over $1000.

    You could also invent your own portable A/C unit by taking a standard small sized window air conditioner and sitting it inside of a trash can propping up the edges on a couple of 2x4's laying across the top of the can. It will blow cool air and the condesation will drain into the trash can.
