The original poster was asking about roll around AC units, the kind that vent out window, and now 4 mos later is this....wow, I am even boring myself...yawn,,later ...
You ever work in the heat in Texas ? Yes a swamp cooler is okay..or a wet wall is about the only way to Cool down.. but the ground water is the real problems 4 months ago,..hard to do with out ice.just saying it's a winter sports in Texas
 
Was not questioning AC, just goofing on how off topic things were getting.

I get the winter sport part, it hit 30F today, but was in teens last night, made for a cold outdoor brew session day. Ice in the valves and lines this AM, going to have to move brew gear inside for the rest of the winter, easy to hit lager temps in cellar though.
 
I live in southern AZ and deal with the same issue. I spent about 400 on a minisplit and it works great. Has heat too for the winter.
I live in Phoenix as well and have been looking at these ductless minisplit systems for awhile now... Where were you able to find a system for $400 ?everything I am seing has been between $800 +

You will be mad if they freeze up enough to split it

I drove to Hermosillo and bought it at an AC shop. I can probably dig up the name if you think you might make the trip.

A buddy just bought one off eBay for something like 400 to 500, but I'm not sure on the size.

Never thought to look at ebay that might be the route to go as I don't get into Mexico that often.. But I definitely need to find a solution before next summer.
 
Hi, ryanj. Why do you to go a long way? I mean that you can refer to Ben - he is from Texas and worked in similar conditions, helped a lot of guys including me, so who could help you if not him? If you need to need to save money you should go to the specialist and ask for help than you will have a clear plan of what to do.
