Whenever my AC comes on it pulls hot air in thru the leaking windows( i cant afford to replace windows at this time)My Air conditioner is in a closet that has an intake grill on the closet doorInside the closet is a blocked off 6quot; vent tube running up to the roof (it used to have a gas heater/ac)would it be more efficient if I opened up this tube and blocked the grill in the closet door so the hot air being pulled into the house is pulled only from the vent and then gets cooled going thru the AC? It seems like it would work better than how it is because then it wont pull hot air into the house thru the windows and never seeming to cool off the houseat least the air being pulled in will get cooled first is how i see it? Anyone know what i can do to help this, I know i need new windows, but i really cant afford it right nowThanks for your help!!
NO!!!! Allowing ANY outside air to enter the return air is simply placing extra heat humidity load upon the unit!!! DUH!! Here's a much needed reality check: its not just the windowsCheck the bottom of doorsOK, so you cannot afford what would end up being around 3K for energy star windowsSurely you can afford some wetherstripping, maybe a few tubes of DAP, and maybe some additional insulation in the atticY'know, simply getting adequate ventilation in the attic can do wonders for your systemGetting the heat gain OUT is what you want here, not adding it and expecting more out of your unit.

Leonardo da Vinci is best remembered as the painter of the Mona Lisa (1503-1506) and The Last Supper (1495)But he's almost equally famous for his astonishing multiplicity of talents: he dabbled in architecture, sculpture, engineering, geology, hydraulics and the military arts, all with success, and in his spare time doodled parachutes and flying machines that resembled inventions of the 19th and 20th centuriesHe made detailed drawings of human anatomy which are still highly regarded todayLeonardo also was quirky enough to write notebook entries in mirror (backwards) script, a trick which kept many of his observations from being widely known until decades after his death.
