This happened to me once. My brother was on the outside helping me install it and it almost fell on him.

I personally have had an experience with this sort of thing. When our family was on vacation in Maine, we stayed in a cotttage. The room I was sleeping in had an air conditioner in the window, so when my friend’s dad walked into the room and opened the window to let some air in, the air conditioner took a two story dive into the ground. At 2:00 in the morning. Much fun insued.

We have an opposite problem. We had new windows put in and our swamp cooler vent will no longer fit through the new windows – so we have to have it sit outside and just have the vent against the window – always afraid that the stand will collapse and it’ll fall down and break.

my house is near 85-90 years old. it sucks getting the AC from the basement up creaky steps into a window (that’s frame may break, but thats my opinion).

I like warm weather, which is good, because for the longest time, we didn’t have an air conditioner (In my home town, summer days habitually exceed 90°F (32°C), and often exceed 100°F (38°C). I don’t like it quite that warm). Instead, we had a swamp cooler that wouldn’t work well on humid days. As such, with my normal house temperature of 85 or 90° with 100° weather outside, I hate to walk into a 75° room straight from outside in the dead of summer—and so many buildings are like that, that I have to carry around a sweatshirt when it’s sweltering hot outside, because it’s too hot outside to wear it, and it’s too cold inside not to have it. A sweatshirt does, however, carry some of the chill along with it when you walk outside, so this also takes some of the edge off the walking-into-an-oven effect you get when you walk outside.

Now we have central air, but we don’t use it much. How I miss that swamp cooler.

My mom talks about some friend of hers who have swamp coolers, a little north of us.
Seriously. Who the hell has SWAMP COOLERS in TEXAS?!

I live in Costa Rica (thats Central America) and almost no houses have central heating or cooling… Maybe some shops, but in the beach. Most people don´t have basement or attic.
