Portable A/C to the Rescue

A friend of the family had her A/C system fail recently. She has a geothermal one. The repair guys said the required part to fix it was on back order. Although it is still spring, the weather is getting hot. The friend and her cats were suffering in the hot house.

Momoko suggested we could loan a portable A/C to the friend. Little Kat used to use a portable A/C in his bedroom. It has since been replaced by a mini-split A/C. Little Kat dug the old portable out of the closet. He located the accessories. Then he gave them to our friend.

The friend called and said the unit was blowing hot air. We had a second unit in our home. But we sort of hard wired it into our dining room window. Little Kat was able to disconnect the hose leading to the window. But he was too busy with friends to deliver the unit.

Momoko and I drove to our friend's house. Momoko made me stand the unit upright in my car. I carried the thing up the stairs to the master bedroom. It was a huge room. I swapped it for the broken unit, which I took back down to my car.

Initially it was 83 degrees in the master bedroom. After an hour, it was 78 degrees and falling. I hope the cats know to come upstairs to the master bedroom to sleep tonight. I figure by midnight, it should be 68 degrees or lower.
