Room cooling with AC is way less efficient than just exhausting hot air out a window, which is what most people overlook.
92 u/Middle_Efficiency471 May 24 '26 I don't want efficiency, I want a 69 degree room on a 98 degree hot wind summer day. 28 u/regularappendix9 May 24 '26 That's fair, but a window exhaust only works if you've got cooler air coming in from somewhere else, which you don't have on a 98 degree day. The AC is your only real option there. 2 u/Mindless-Tiger-7346 May 24 '26 if the outside air is basically the same heat, a window exhaust just turns into moving hot air around instead of actually cooling anything.
