Cheap home AC
I've been looking around for a 12,000 BTU Wall unit AC. Right now Costco has the best price on a Sharp system. Does anyone else know where I can find some for a better price? Thank!
Oh yeah the unit has to be new I plan to keep it for a while.

Home Depot always got some decent ones too... but I know Sears only carries Kenmore on their AC...(at least at that time when I was looking for an AC) and they're pricey but good brand...

The Sharp units are pretty good based on Consumer Reports reviews. I am not sure if it is still in effect but Energy Star units get a $75 rebate.
I got my a/c from Sears (Kenmore but made by LG). They have typical features like on/off timer, thermostatic control, 3 speed fan, fan only, remote, etc.
My only problem was that the compressor never turned off on the unit in my son's room. I swapped out the ECU from a/c unit in my garage since it is undersized for my garage anyway. Also, they, like all wall units, are loud compared to split air systems.
I highly recommend getting split air in an area that you hang out in a lot since they are a lot quieter compared to wall units. I put the wall units in my kid's and upper living room. I should have put in (and will eventually) a split unit for the upper living room though. I put split air units in my master bedroom and living room and it is worth every penny. Mitsubishi is good but very expensive. Fujitsu and Sanyo are good/cheaper alternatives.

) get one for every room in the house. Then it'll feel like you living up Mauna Kea.
