We had a swamp cooler for about 2 weeks when I was a kid. Dad didn't like it and gave it to a neighbor. Later we got central A/C. Was sure glad remember many hot sweaty sleepless nights with a fan blowing on me before A/C.

Used to have my brother with Multiple Sclerosis living with me. If the temp got above 70°F he would start sweating and lose is ability to move. I guess because his room was the only bedroom on the west side of the house, and the farthest from the mechanicals closet, it would stay 5 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. I tried one of those vent booster fans that runs when it sees cooler air in the duct than in the room and that only dropped it about 1°F. Ended up putting a window A/C in his room.

Kinda parr for the course since he passed the trees and shrubbery shading that room of the house have grown up and I've had to replace the HVAC in the house. Now the room stays the same 72°F as the rest of the house without the window A/C.
