Question about air conditioning.

So I am moving next wednesday, I was not concerned when I bought the house mostly because I did not think about it but the house does not have central air. Now It how ever does have window units. I also have a window unit that is 20,000 btu's and has a temp controller on it so I can atleast keep the temps from getting too high. I am worried though that the window unit will bring in too much from the outside. I have never not had central air so this concern has never been an issue for me. Anyone got some advice or reassurance. I tried the search engine and did not find much on this subject.

If you want cleaner air in your house fun a hepa filter. It won't make it really clean but it will help cut down on the ambient spore load some

IDK about that. You need the room the SAB is in to have fairly still air too.
But yeah OP you'll be fine. I've never had central air.

That is very reassuring thanks. Now if i can convince my boyfriend to let me rip out the new carpet he just had put in there. Whole house is hardwood floors but the fucking bedrooms.

No need to rip it out, just keep it clean. Buy a steam cleaner, use it once a month.

Turn off AC, fog the room with some glade+oust and do the same in your still air box, you won't get any contams. And either use AC'd room or an adjacent room for storage and try to keep it under 75 degrees and you're good to go.

SAB allll day. Build one, contam rates will go down as well as your wasted time worrying about spores floating in the air and your boyfriend hating you cause he wasted his money on nice carpet. Haha.
I do my work in the kitchen.. I hear most houses have them. Maybe your new place does? ..and I'll bet a shit and a giggle that it isn't carpeted. =P

Central air brings in air from outside too.
I just turn the air off for about an hour before I work in front of my flowhood or still air box.
As long as your innoculations and spawn production techniques are tip top you will be fine.
RR said he used to run his flowhood in his bedroom which was both carpeted and his dog slept in there

Don't fog the room, just turn off the AC for a bit.

And don't fog your SAB with Oust, either. Instead use 70% rubbing alcohol or water. Oust or bleach always made it too hard for me to see and I made more mistakes, and rubbing alcohol is sufficient.
