I spend a lot of time in my sitting room/bedroom. It's a smallish house, but my room is about 50' from the roof mounted AC and evaporative cooler. I use the cooler up until when the temperature gets to and above 105°F, then I turn it off and turn the AC on. The cooler down drafts into a hallway directly under it and the air looks for ways out of the house, which means I have my bedroom window open about 6". But by the time the cool air goes all through the house to my bedroom it's not real cool anymore.
Almost the same deal with the AC, which is ducted into every room. I have closed off the vents in the rooms not used much, but being as how my room is about 50' away from the AC unit and the duct is going through a very hot attic, by the time the air reaches me it's not all that cool anymore.
Is there anything I can do to keep the air cool? I was wondering if I can wrap the duct that goes to my room with insulation???
(I have up ducts in a couple rooms that carry the evaporative cooler air into the attic to help cool it down, but I imagine it heats up in there pretty fast once the cooler is off)
