My mother hated to sleep at night because our AC is malfunctioning. It is very old AC without brand. The technician said that it is difficult to repair an unbranded one. I paid him about 200 pesos to clean and repair it, but until now it is not producing coldness. When we turn it on, it's like a typical electric fan. My mother likes to buy a new one. 
Before the technician I arrived, I cleaned the AC to test if it works if I just get the dust in filter. I brushed it as well as the inner part of the appliance and turned it off until number 10. Indeed it didn't work. Even if I turn the maximized 10 volume, it really feels like a fan. There are times it'll produce snowy temperature in the room, but later it stops. The kids can't sleep immediately like mother because of too much sweating in their back. I told mother to just use the electric fan, but she doesn't like it. Even me doesn't like it too. Fan can give me head and backache.
When I cleaned the AC, seems like it was not cleaned for many years because of too much thickness of the dust. The other room has an AC too, so there are sometimes that my mother and niece will sleep there at night. They also choose this bedroom a place to relax in the middle of the day. I don't like to stay in the living room because of too much heat.
My mother and I planned to switch my younger sister's AC to our room but it is heavy. I think we need two males to pull it and move to our bed. How about you? How do you handle the heated climate?
