When I left for college, I hoped to live alone, so I chose a studio apartment in a building that everyone avoided because it lacked an air conditioner. I was more concerned with finding myself a place I could call home than I was with finding a house that had every amenity installed to help with indoor comfort. It’s a good thing they were inexpensive because I could now purchase a high-quality air conditioner rather than relying solely on a fan during particularly hot days. Internet research to learn more about air conditioning options for a small space was my first port of call when looking for dependable HVAC equipment. The most typical response was to buy a mini split air conditioner and, if possible, make sure I got a portable one to carry when I left the house. The majority of people also advised me to steer clear of buying any of my cooling equipment online and to instead hire a cooling technician to visit my house and make recommendations for the best cooling solution. For my benefit, the majority of those around me were aware of the best cooling company in the area because their professionals handled all of their air conditioning maintenance and repairs. When I first visited the business, all I wanted to know was what kinds of mini splits they had, and the cooling representative who showed me around shared more information about how much they would cost to buy and install. After I had that number and was certain I could handle it, I requested they send the cooling specialist I had first met, and the unit was installed quickly. In the intervening time, I persuaded two more friends to move into a studio apartment.
