I was so happy to start living in my own apartment when I was starting college. There was one issue though and that was the HVAC system, or lack thereof. There was a heating system that worked alright, but there was no cooling system to speak of. This made life pretty difficult when we got into the summer months and I realized that I needed some cooling relief or I was going to lose it. I looked into different cooling products online and stumbled across a lot of awesome cooling devices. They even had cooling hats which was interesting and I thought I might go for something like that down the road. What really caught my eye though was a smart window AC unit. This particular window AC unit was equipped with a smart thermostat which would not only save big on the energy bills, but I could control it remotely with my phone! I can’t tell you how wonderful it was when I was studying to be able to tap on my phone a few times to adjust the temperature control as needed. Of course, I could only afford one window AC unit because they were kind of costly, but it was worth the investment. If I had guests over, I had to crank my window AC unit and keep my bedroom door open so that the cooling would flow into the living room and kitchen area. It was a small apartment so I was able to make this work out, but in a larger place it would be impossible for that window AC unit to keep the place cool, only a good sized room at best.
