Ok, this is probably a stupid question, however I really need to know if this can be done...
I've got 4 apartments here in Brazil that I'm renting out. Over every bed there is a mosquito net and a split LG A/C, 12000btu cooling a 40m3 (440sqf) apartment. The problem is that it takes forever to cool down inside the mosquito net. It's almost as if the net acts like an insulator. The apartment cools down to the given temperature after about 1 hour, however its always a few degrees higher inside the net.
Is it possible to build the net around the A/C so it starts cooling down the air inside the net first? The bed and net is fairly big, but I understand that it can get very cold very quickly this way, but then again you probably could raise the thermostat a few degrees and save energy as well? Or am I completely out in the wild here? Would this have any consequences on the way the A/C operates, or any health issues related to doing this?
Any comments appreciated.
