Thread: Help with my room temperature

Hey guys, I have a lot of electronics in my room, and they output a lot of heat, and It's making my room's temperature rise. I'm currently looking for ways to cool it down since spring and summer are coming up, and I don't want my room to have an unbearable room temperature. The only thing I have to cool down my room Is a Fan and the Air conditioner, and that helps a little bit, but not enough. Another thing is that one of my rooms windows is right in front of the sun, and I wonder if that causes any access heat. Does anyone have any suggestions, I really need some help before things get worse.

Your AC isn't enough? What kind of electronics do you have? None of them can be turned off?

You can always put a shade up or plant a tree outside that window.

I have a Wii, Xbox 360, Dish network reciver, mini fridge, vcr/dvd combo, and my laptop. Most of the time My Xbox 360 and wii are off, but It's still hot.

'nuff said.

The only things there that produce a real lot of heat is your 360 and your laptop. I have more than that. I have a 360 and an TV, each run too hot to touch Buy a surge protector and shut each off while you're not using them. It saves power and heat.

You could also move things around, find the thinnest wall or a draft or something and put the hot stuff there.

get rid of the DVD player, your 360 is that and VCRs are obsolete, there's no movie you desperately need to watch on video that you can't go to the living room and watch it there. Seriously, if your room gets too hot that the AC and a fan isn't enough to cool the place down it's time to rethink your room/setup/priorities.

It probably controls part of the rest of the house, so it would be fine for his room, but unbearably cold for the rest of the house that it controls.

Open the window, as it's been said. Lets fresh air in, cools down, makes it way better!

Get a dehumidifier. If you're in an area where it's humid like me, then it cools the temperature a lot!

Open your room door more often if you close it. The AC will help a lot more if you do that. It lets the colder air form outside the room in.

Opening his window will be a problem in the summer. It'll just let in all the hot air.

Unless his room is hotter!

Just put a dark or thick drape or even a bed sheet over the window. Yes the suns light does make heat and your closed window is keeping it bottled in your room. Ever heard of the green house effect?

Also its a plus or a must have if you have a big screen TV and don't want a window glare shining back at you.
