    Winter Cooling: Variable Speed Window AC vs Chiller/Ice Box

    Hi TheWizZ. Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I've decided to roll with the 2 variable speed window ACs during the winter cycle.

    Hi Kahoona. Thanks a lot for the information. I was unfamiliar with the headmaster module you mentioned.

    how do I block light from going through window ac?
