I have a room that gets hot because of the tv. I want to cool it down a bit without using ac. Will evaporative cooler help or make it worse?

Answer 1

When I lived in Nevada, we had a big evaporative cooler mounted on the roof of the house. In a hot, dry climate they work well, but they are less efficient in climates with more moderate temperatures, or where the average humidity is high. If you only want to cool one room, you may be better off with just a small window air conditioner.

Answer 2

If your tv is making your room hot, you need a new tv. New flat panel tv's put off hardly any heat, and certainly not enough to warant a secondary air conditioner. If you have a central system, try closing vents in other/empty rooms to force more air into your tv room while you are in there.

Answer 3

If your tv is causing your room to overheat, you are watching too much tv. Turn it off and go do something else.

Answer 4

Your room is just hot. The TV does not make it any more hotter. Turn on the AC. Coolers do not cool. They only reduce the humidity.
