The best use of a house A/C is to use it with a fan. Nobody

I believe you if you tell me you live in an ice chest.


I live in a 600 sq ft cottage. I also live in a mild climate, but I run a
lot of electronic stuff. Add 80000 BTU/hr for that.

Bottom line, my calculations for cooling come out to 22,000 BTU/hr.

Take off my 8,000, and you still need 14,000. That's for a 600 sq ft cottage
in Northern California, on the coast (literally). Ten miles from the beach!

5000 BTU/hr?

I love geek chicks (I am married to one), but, respectfully: NO WAY!

Sorry, bah.

Maybe I should ask Radio Shack. They claim they've got answers;
but frankly, if Radio Shack were our provider, we'd _really_ be in
trouble now, wouldn't we?
