my apartment has two window a/c units. one for the living room/kitchen and one for my bedroom. it is imperative to keep the bedroom door closed when running its a/c unit. this traps all of the cold air so it cools down that room quickly. it is also important to turn on the a/c at least 30 minutes prior to sleepy time.
the unit currently in the bedroom was a hand me down a/c from the previous apartment tenants of artiste and california lady. it has worked great for the past two years. unfortunately the machine died on one of the hottest days i've ever experienced as a new yorker. the lights were on but nothing was happening so i was forced to sleep on my couch in the living room. not ideal.
that night i bought an a/c unit online at best buy.com to make sure they didn't run out during this colossal heat wave. picked up the new a/c unit on saturday but the crazy thing is now the old machine is working just fine! i don't get it. one day i get nothing when i desperately need it and now i get all the cold air i could want. so do i keep the new a/c and put the old one on the street for a lucky soul to pick up or take the new a/c unit back via a cab to the best buy on 86th and lexington?
if only i had an apartment with central air...
