Re: [RFI] Window Air Conditioner Advice Wanted

[Aaron Kreider <aaron@campusactivism.org>]

Two might be the way to go.  A lot easier to install smaller units if 
you're doing it yourself.
Or if you are willing to spend a bit extra, you could try a mini split.  
You can double the efficiency and it'll be nice and quiet.  I'm trying 
to DYI install one, but I don't recommend that unless you know HVAC.
