The month without AC here in SC was brutal....
Luckily my system is on the 2nd floor and a separate system heat pump [emoji16] i put in 5 years ago!

Never been to SC, but I can imagine it's a steam bath. My sympathies, for sure.

That's what I'm hoping for with the extra juice of this new Friedrich. 15,500 BTUs is overkill theoretically, but it may help when temps are way up there. An interesting feature of the Friedrich Chill series is an oscillating fan, which might help mitigate "dead" areas in my living room that are not cooled by my current A/C. "Auto Air Sweep," they call it.
Meantime, I attached a photo of my current unit.
