Default Air conditioning for 720 square foot upstairs apartment

I belive the biggest uint you can get on a 120v line is a 1200. I have a
1700 sqft house and the Panasonic 12,000 BTU unit I have pretty much do the
entire ranch home if I leave the doors open.

The trick is to make sure on hot days you start the unit before temp outside
hits 100. I live in New England where the temp hit the 90, but the humidity
hits 100%. I made sure I purchased the units that had a delayed on and off
timer so that I could set it up to turn on mid day before the house started
heating up.

Lets say your like me were you leave for work before 8 and get back about 5
and the house is hotter than the devil. Set the AC to turn on about noon on
low energy saving fan at about 74 and when you get home you are not roasting
your cookies off.

So, I'm now in an apartment and I'm trying to plan for the upcoming
summer. For those 100 degree days, is there a way to air condition
this size apartment without installing any vents, etc out of a window
or door? If so, what items would you recommend to buy?


You should do your own manual J so you know what BTUH room AC you need.
I cool the first floor of an old 1937 over 900-sq.ft home with a mere
6,000-BTUH room AC.
A comfortable Temperature & Humidity control even at 112-F Heat Index.
