Its only my opinion but you would be better off with a new high SEER rated air conditioner. WHY????

Because when it is HUMID and Hot all a fan does is bring thru moving hot, moist, damp air...
The A/C unit will remove the moisture from that air and circulate non-moist air that is actually cool... You can always set the thermostat to around 74 degrees and it won't a whole lot but it will be very energy efficient..

I have a Heat Pump that is 16 SEER. In the summer it is a central Air conditioner. After the past couple days here I waas so glad we had it. It was in the upper 90's and extrememly humid.. A BAD combination for me personally. I do not do well in hot and humid.. One reason I could not live in the south lke Ribs.. My lungs would not take it..

I believe for a little bit mroe money you would be far better off for a long time to come to have the air conditioner and I might add you can always add a whole house fan for the not so hot and humid days...

Just my thinking.. That high seer unit will not cost you very much in electric trust me. Mine doesn't. I have Carrier..


yer pal . Yer wife is right. Listen to her....

Re: “My 'off the top of my head' was 6500 divide by 100 for max amps of 6.5.”You'd better do the math again, Zimbler. micro got that part right. He's just wrong on the theory.

My purchase will draw 771 watts, not 6500. Even 771 struck us as a lot. My wife pointed out that it uses significantly more energy than the competing Quiet Cool ES-5400. But it's $400 less expensive and more powerful. My stingy wallet made the decision for me and went with the Centric Air fan.

Now, back to your math. 6500 divided by 100 is 65, not 6.5.
