My friend has a little house an hour away from hers where she keeps her horses.
It’s a shed converted into a small home.
She likes to go up on the weekend and stay there while she rides. The house has a window air conditioner and fake fireplace. My neighbor complained that the conditioner doesn’t get this house cold enough. I didn’t mind looking at it because I am handy fixing things. Almost as soon as I arrived, I could tell the problem was not with the cooling system; it was laboring fine. If you stood about 10 feet in front of the cooling system, you were met with a cool blast of air, but, much further away, it was still warm. That’s because the little shed is drafty. It has a tin roof. There is no way that a cooling system can handle a building that is not airtight. I told my neighbor this but she probably wasn’t convinced. She still thinks there is something wrong with the air conditioner. I suggested we seal up the walls to make the shed more airtight. A little bit of insulation in the roof might also help. The air conditioner wasn’t the problem
