Air Conditioning Appreciation Day - Having suffered without air conditioning for a number of years, now that I have it, I feel like a privileged member of royalty! I honestly don’t know how I lived without it during those hot, sticky summer months. I do believe that as a result of my previous long, unable-to-sleep-comfortably nights, I’ve become somewhat acclimatized. I refuse to crank up the freon too high – just enough to knock out the humidity. We’ve all visited homes, offices, etc. where it’s like stepping into an arctic zone in the midst of summer. You can keep your cool without harming the environment with refurbished Energy Star-rated air conditioners from Compact Appliance. Discover discount LG and Sharp window air conditioners and redeem Compact Appliance coupons to save 6% on your order.
