Exterior window shades

well at the duct vents temp was about 60 degrees but at lower levels closer to the counter tops temps were in and around 75 the unit just could not keep up hung trash bags to shield some of the heat at the windows helped a bit but the air was barely reaching the lower levels now at night no problems. sorry guys just a bit aggravated about the problem I guess no more summer camping.

No need to loose hope yet.

Here's a pic where I sealed up old foam divider that keeps the cold air from getting mixed with warm air. Might be worth checking out



For windows, you can cut some foil bubble insulation to fit over your windows, or even get an inexpensive windshield shade and cut it to shape.

A few of these can hold it in place. They come in different colors and sizes, or you can use strips, whatever you think looks best.



Another thing to try is cooling just one section at a time. Close off whatever area you can, block off duct, whatever you need to do and as an area cools down, you can open up another area.

If you can get cooler air to return into the A/C intake, the unit should better be able to cool the air to an even cooler level.

You might even try opening a ceiling vent and turn the fan on low, blowing outwards. Heat rises, evacuate the hottest, replace it with cooler air from the A/C

Hope you find a workable solution soon ;)
