I am looking for some advice as summer is slowly coming up and in Tampa it is starting to warm up. I am trying to find the least expensive route to cool my master bedroom as cold as I possibly can . To give you an idea I am one of those people who in the Florida winter regardless of if it is 30 outside will have my fans on and the windows open allowing me to get my house down to 50 or so.
As it stands now I have the thermostat set to hit 68 around midnight to 1:00 AM so it is cool when I go to bed. Unfortunately as a result I am really overcooling and running my electric up since I only need my room to be this low and even lower if I could cheaply. I have started looking at window units but the two windows closest to my bed are only 12.5" high by just shy of 24" wide. I am just looking for ideas or suggestions. I figure there should be some way I run something in my room while raising the thermostat for the house so that I could save some on my electric. My bedroom is probably 17x20.
If I could find a way to bring my electric down lower or keep it the same while making my room colder I would definitely be interested.
