A hot bonus room means more heat is entering that part of the house than is taken out by the AC. Usually the problem is not the AC but the shell of the home. Inadequate insulation, poor windows and leaks in ducts or the building materials allow too much heat to come into the room. It's not necessarily expensive to fix but the solution isn't obvious either. There are quick fixes that will mask the problem like a window unit but addressing the real problem is more complicated.

I think our HOA may restrict us from using that option though. I'll have to dig out the documentation and see. Good to hear that you electric bill actually dropped and didn't go up, that makes me feel better! Thanks for your insight. Hi Chris, that is another option we’ve considered.

Garage converted into "family room," cold in winter and HOT in summer. Cold we can deal with as we live in California. However the hot was too much. This is also the room which we converted into my workspace for my ebay business. Two years ago we cut a small hole in the wall and put in a small wall unit airconditioner. It has made all the difference in summer. As long as this room is cool, the whole house is cool, too. Last summer our main unit went out and we just ran the wall in the family room. Our electric bill for the hottest month of the year in So. Cal was $69.00. Can't help you with the heat part, but we've found that our electric - all summer long - has gone down with the installation of the wall unit. Good luck! Exact same situation over here.

It's large enough to hold all the moisture, and it evaporates out as the humidity changes. Clean it every few months, but no dumping. YMMV though. To date, I’ve never had to empty it.
